So Far Behind

I've picked up my controller after more than a year of rarely playing and not buying anything after CoD 4. I've been busy. I finished my language class last July, took a short vacation, then I and the family boarded a plane for Dubai, United Arab Emirates. There is a lot I can say about Dubai, and I will later, but for now I'll leave it at Dubai is over the top. When you build ski slopes in the desert, then you'll try anything.

Class Dismissed

Since September, I've been assigned to study Farsi -- the language spoken in Iran -- in preparation for my next assignment with the State Department. We don't have an embassy in Iran, and we won't anytime soon. But you know from the news that the U.S. Government is paying a lot of attention to Iran these days so it are trying build up the number Farsi speakers it has, which brings me to the point of this blog: I'm back in school, and I dread it.

Gimme Some Sugar

Here is what a Microsoft supervisor offered as compensation for the six weeks I've been without my console:

Viva Pinata

Kameo

Project Gotham Racing 3

Xbox Live Arcade

Wow, games that I already would have bought or that I could find in the bargain bin if I wanted them. Gee, thanks. Generosity knows no bounds.

And I was told that there was no higher level supervisor that I could speak to because that was against company policy so I guess the message is clear: Take it or leave it.

Beside Myself

And on the seventh day, I thought, my power supply and ac cord had finally gotten here. There was a note in my mailbox telling me I had a package at the front desk. When I got there, I noticed in the log they keep that I had not one, but two packages. Maybe, I thought, I was getting some extra compensation for my inconvenience. That would be too good to be true, and it was. The boxes they handed me were exactly the same size and weight. Maybe, I thought, they had sent a duplicate shipment. I once got two televisions that way.

Waiting

It's been six days since Microsoft said they shipped the power supply. It's not here yet. Maybe by this weekend it will come. I'm looking at the console they sent me, sitting there useless. Man, this sucks.
