my h1n1 rant

So let's me start from the COMPLETE begining. On saturday, I played rugby as usual. We won (yayy) and I felt fine for the rest of that day. The next day, I woke up with a sore bal, but nothing major enough to worry about. I went to work that night, but soon after I started I could notice my back getting noticably spree and spree by the minute. A few hours into the night and I couldn't even sit, I was in way too much pain. So I went home and went to clinic. After being in the office for a quick 20 second checkup the doctor said it was, well a sore back, and gave me anti-inflammitory medicine to help me.

This is my first issue. Why do doctors at clinics refuse to give their patients the full help and attention they deserve. I've had a sore back, and I know this is something different. Well fuck him, Its now thursday night and my back is still in same state.

But thats beside my main point for this medical system bashing post.

So I decided to pit myself on bedrest, mainly due to thee fact that there's not much else I can stand to do without the body-paralyzing pains. And too make matters worse, my throat started swelling up, which you can see would make it hard to breathe. So there's the image, me laying at home, coughing constantly but with no choice.

So my throat got so sore I had to go to emergency because of the fear that my throat might close completely. After 2 hours waiting in the flu-infested waiting room I was called in.

Now here's the MAIN reason for this blog. I know I don't have swine flu, so I go into a hospital, and without even cheking me out they diagnos me with the dreaded h1n1. I find this retarded. Anyone who goes into a hospital with any flu like symptoms will be diagnosed with the swine. Of course that's why is an epidemic. I will stick by the fact that I do not have the flu. The h1n1 is NOT a national emergency. Last year in America 36000 people died from the average flu, and so far only 1000 have died from h1n1. It's no bigger than the normal flu. And with doctors misdiagnosing people, it's hard to tell if the flu is really even worthy of ANY of the attention it's getting

to a special someone

I just want to say that eveen I may have been dissapointed with you, being able to talk it out and admit your mistakes takes more courage then anything, and for that I am really proud of you. Everyone makes mistakes but it takes a special person to be able to fix them, and be truly sorry for what they did. Sorry if I was not the most supportive friend when you were in need, that's not how a real friend would act. I messed up. But I want you to know that I do love you and would do anything to make you smile when your feeling down. I'm going to give you hugs and praises tonight just to show you that I'm not dissapointed, and will ALWAYS be there for you =)

My Letter to Kia

I recently purchased a used car from Applewood Kia in Surrey, British Columbia. The treatment I have received from this dealership since purchasing the car has been appalling.

On Saturday, Sept. 12, I purchased a 2006 Chevy Cobalt SS from Applewood Kia. On Friday, Sept. 18, the clutch on the car went, making the car un-drivable. I had the car towed to Applewood, however the dealership was closed for the night so I left the car outside the lot and waited for the next day.

On Saturday morning I went back to to dealership and spoke to the person who sold me the car. He told me to talk to the service department. I went to the service dept. and explained the situation to them. The gentleman at the service desk was extremely helpful and friendly and within a half hour they had the car in the shop and confirmed that it needed a new clutch, and it would cost approx. $2100.00 to repair.

I then spoke to the sales manager, Manny, informed him what had happened and that I felt the dealership should do these repairs for me as there was probably less than 200km on the car since I had purchased it.

Manny immediately went on the defensive, suggesting that there was nothing wrong with the car when I bought it and that it must have been all my fault that the clutch went. I told him I didn't think this was the case and that the clutch must have been on verge of going when I bought it.

Manny told me to leave it with him and he would see what he could do. He said he may not know anything until the following Monday, but he would call me Saturday evening and let me know what was happening either way. I received no phone call on Saturday evening.

On Monday, Sept. 21, I waited until noon for a phone call from Manny but never received one. I then drove to the dealership and spoke to Manny personally. He told me that he had not had a chance to talk to the service manager, but he would do so today and get back to me by 5 pm. At 4:50 pm I had still not heard from Manny so I called him at the dealership. He told me that he still had not spoken to the service manager but he would do so immediately and get back to me in 10 minutes. That was last time I spoke to Manny. He never called me back and I have not heard from him since.

On Tuesday, Sept. 22, I again waited until noon for a phone call that never came. I again drove to the dealership hoping to speak to Manny. When I got there I was informed that it was Manny's day off so I spoke to his partner, sales manager Darren Perkins. I explained all that I had been through with Manny. He had no knowledge at all about the situation but told me he would investigate and get back to me as soon as possible. A few hours later Darren called me back and told me he had spoken to Manny and the service manager and they decided that the best they could do for me was to repair the car at dealer cost which was approx. $1700.00. I told him that I did not think this was fair, especially after the way I had been treated the last 3 days, but he said it was the best they could do.

I asked him if there was someone else higher up I could speak to. He said that I could speak to Troy, who is the GM. I told Darren that I would like to speak to Troy and he told me that he did not have his number handy but he would call me right back with the number. I have not heard from Darren since and I don't expect that I ever will.

I have purchased many cars over the years and never have I been treated the way I have from this dealership. On 3 different occasions I was told by Manny he would call me back and never did. Darren also said he would call me back and never did. This has now gone on for 4 days and in my eyes nothing has been resolved.

I can not imagine that Kia wants their dealership represented this way.

I hope this gets my message through

lonely

I'm really feeling lonely in the world lately. I have friends, that's not the problem, it's that I'm ALWAYS just the friend. I want to be something more, but that never seems to happen for me.

Maybe girls just don't like me, maybe I'm too embaressing to be refered to as 'the boyfriend' I really don't know....

titles are so hard to write

Still trying to get my mind off of everything. I decided to watch a movie, I went with scary, haunting in Connecticut. It keeps making me jump even at the most obvious moments. I guess it's just my mindstate. It's not a terrible movie, though I'm writing this while watching so it's not super captivating.

On a completely other note

I'm stuck between Twitter and blogging, I don't know what to choose but there's not enough room in my life for both. Twitter is quick and easy but sometimess I feel like writing a bit more indepth, like right exactly now

Twitter is open to everyone and it's kind of my area fr thig not me, like my feable attempts at comedy. I almost need to make seperate account for my comedic and serious sides
