Why, oh why?

If you know me, you might also know that i work as a pharmacy courier, bringin out the skittles to elderly people (and YES it is at a pharmacy that i work at, not a strange boy in a dark alley). While it doesnt give the big bucks, it is quite good exercise, and the elderly people are usually quite friendly.

But, what really irritates me, is this scenario:

1. Pharmaceut: bring out this parcel:
2. me: WTF! it is in the other end of this area!
3. * i drive there, it takes me well over an hour of getting lost, noticing that my map is outdates etc.*
4. Me: is this the place where *oldie* lives? Him: lolwut?! no this is *another road* me: S *sigh*
5. *repeat step four a couple of times, there were about three or four roads with almost the same name*
6. Me: hello i have medicine for *oldie* Pregnant young lady: il take that *closes door*
7. *i leave with no tips for driving all this way, and then delivering the medicine to a young lady, barely in her 30's with no health problems*

oh, and the good thing is, there is another pharmacy in that neighbourhood, so why the heck didnt they choose that place instead?!

Richard Garriott, you broke my dreams

When i first started playing Tabula Rasa, i was intruiged by this new way of playing an online mmo, a much more dynamic combat system, containing more than just pressing a button. i was also baffled by the friendlyness of the community, and how the whole world was built, leaving my ears ringing with the sounds of battlecries and descending dropships.

But, when i held a break for about two months, came back, rose a few levels. i nearly wept at the game that i had returned to. a game i could not even play due to this random scenario (freely acted of course)

Me: well, i think i will play some Tabula Rasa then...

TR: ROFL U R FIGHTING AGAINST TEH 1337 MONSTER?????+ LETS GET SOME BEAUTIFUL FIREWORKS GOING TO CELEBRATE OLOL!111ONE

Me: oh my, my screen is all flickering and pixelated!

TR: LOL N3WB U R FUX0RED

Computer: ROFLMAO LETS CRASH HIS COMPUTER AND LEAVE HIM TO DIE OLOLOLOLOL!111ELEVENTYONEOMGZERS

Me: Mein leben!

Speakers: BZZZZZZ ALL YOUR GAMES'N'SOUNDZ R BELONG TO US

*computer dies and i have to reboot*

While this is bad enough in itself, i had contacted Support about this case, and another where i cannot finish a mission (leaving me in a kind of limbo, where there is not much that i can do). NCSoft says they will not contact me about any of the problems, which is fine by me if i just can be able to play... But alas, none of these issues has been fixed, and here i am, loosing gametime/money by the minute.
