Here it is...

Ok so here's the entry for the advertising and promotional management class. We were talking about good advertising and bad advertising. More like welcome advertising and UNWELCOME advertising. In which I had a very recently experience with. I've needed ink for my printer for like the last 2 monthes, but I didn't have the cash. So I continue to put it off, until this semester starts and I have to print off like a MILLION TONS of notes and crap for all of my classes. SOOOOO, I get on Dell's website last night to order more ink and I find the stuff and try to order it - needless to say it took forever and on the last step, payment... whatever to say the least I', already frustrated and I end up having to call a service number or whatever. This English or Australian guy gets on the phone, and while I'm trying to order ink (and cook myself dinner, which I'm not the greatest at anyways, - I burn a lot stuff) this guy is trying to push me a crap-ton of products. No, I don't want two for a better price (cause it's really not better, he's already charging me above the price that was on their website), No. I don't want glossy photo paper for the extra low price of 5.99 for 14 pieces...blah blah.. I want one black, standard capacity cartridge please. anyways it took 45 minutes. Finally got off the phone and I wanted to scream. So I did. at my innocent bystander boyfriend, laying on the couch. Fight insues, and who do I have to thank for the extra stress - dell. and their stupid promotional strategy. thats it #1 entry complete. tune in next week..... hahaha
