Amazon chaos
Wednesday, 15 August 2007 18:49When I went to order my DVD from Amazon.ca, it couldn't log me in. So I tried a couple of my passwords in case I was using the same one. Still nothing. So I clicked the "Forgotten your password" thing. I put in my e-mail address and it still couldn't find me. Weird. I thought maybe the account had been closed, like because I hadn't used it in a while or something, so I went to open it again, basically clicked on open a new account and put in all the same details, same e-mail address, same password, everything. Then I ordered my DVD. Everything went fine, exactly as normal.
Then I went back a few hours later because I hadn't got my confirmation e-mail, and logged in again. It logged me into my old account, with all my order history intact, and the Slings and Arrows DVD not included in it. So I have no idea now what is going on. I rang my bank, and the order was accepted and they are due to pay out the money, so I e-mailed Amazon and asked them what is going on, but I haven't got a response yet. They say it takes up to 24 hours.
Being as paranoid as I am, I automatically thought someone must have hacked the site and stolen my details, so I asked the bank but no onther transactions have taken place since. Just in case that's because someone decided to take a few days to browse and choose something nice and expensive to buy, I transferred most of the money out of that account and into one i have with another bank. I'm sure it's just a glitch on the site, but it's very annoying, because i want my DVD, and now I don't know what's going on with it. So in order to cheer myself up from this, I think I'll watch my episodes that I have downloaded.

Blah, job hunt
Wednesday, 15 August 2007 15:29Well, looking for a job is every bit as much fun as I remember. I've been busy today though, I've applied for five jobs and registered with a couple of agencies. Doesn't sound like I've been doing that much, but when you consider how hard it is to find an okay looking job in Hull, finding 5 to apply for in one day is (I think) pretty impressive. Then, I am maybe a bit fussy about what I won't do, I want a job that I don't hate this time.
I had an interview at Wescot on Friday, I didn't get it. Apparently I failed both the interview (they didn't think I seemed interested enough in the job) and the personality test. WTF? I failed the personality test? Nice. I wonder what's wrong with my personality?
Anyway, I think I've done well today, so I rewarded myself by ordering the first season of Slings and Arrows on DVD!
