Every time I end up at the Apple Store at Pacific Centre, I stand there in the sea of bright orange, light blue and dark blue shirts, that scurry around looking for their appointments to take care of.

Now that I have been there a few times, I know the drill:  Make an appointment a week in advance, show up 5 minutes early to said appointment, then wait for another 20-60 minutes for someone to call your name.  In the 20-60 minutes you wait for a blue shirt to call your name or walk up to you, you eagerly watch all the hustle and bustle around you, hoping somehow that things may be on time.

Typically, I end up finding out that there is an über long wait for my pre-scheduled appointment, and go shopping next door. (Ooh! H&M, Hollister Co, Miss Sixty and more!)

Today was lucky, I only waited 20 minutes. I have to say, either they are getting quicker and more expedient at their booking appointments, or they decided to hire more people to wear blue shirts.

I handed my precious MacbookPro over to the blue shirt guy, who is absolutely cheerful and awesome, and he tells me that I will have my computer back tomorrow as good as new.  I am skeptical, as this is what they told me last month, and not only did they not fix the problem, they made it worse.

(The problem with my MacbookPro: From day one, my laptop has zapped me. It gives me a continual buzzing feeling in my finger tips, though this is nothing new.  I also can reproduce an electrical charge to other objects and people when holding my laptop.  Well, @nachoman informed me that this was not normal, and since I wanted my laptop in ship shape for this term of marking papers, I took  my laptop in last month to get checked out)

I have never had any problems with my Macs over the years, yet this laptop has been giving me grief. Oh well! Alas, I will find out *fingers crossed* tomorrow if they are able to fix this shocking problem (har har!).

Not that you really need to know, but I will keep you updated on my laptop’s status.  As we all know that I am like a lost puppy without my laptop around, leashed to the desktop iMac in my home office.

Have a great evening.

Ciao
