Public apology and explanation. - GoFuckYourself.com

InsaneMidget · 05-12-2004, 06:58 AM

I was living in Halifax, Nova Scotia and just moved to Wolfville, NS. I got here on May 3rd and I had it setup to have my ISP (Eastlink) install my internet service on May 4th. So I waited and they didn't show up, I got to a pay phone and called them (Because I don't have a phone in my apartment yet because the phone company Aliant is currently on strike, which is also why I couldn't get dialup to get online, just my luck.) and asked why they didn't show and they told me basically that the address I gave them didn't exist, after bitching and talking to 3 different people at Eastlink, finally one of them found my apartment and told me they did show up, but had the wrong apartment number. I scheduled for them to come again and the earliest they would come was May 12th (Today).

The reason I'm writing this thread is I lost a lot of money and respect from a lot of my design clients. I'd like to work things out with all of them if possible and offer my full apologizes. I meant no harm and I hate taking the wrap for a bunch of dumbasses at Eastlink and Aliant, but I am.

I am online now and you can reach me on icq (127893368) and by email here. If I don't get around to you right away, then I will shortly, I have a lot of messes to clean up.

Webasic · 05-12-2004, 07:03 AM

it's true...Aliant is on strike

LadyMischief · 05-12-2004, 07:04 AM

Ahh Midget honey I know how that shit works! Good thing you're stand-up enough to come out and say what happened... Hopefully your design customers will realize that you weren't flaking, sounds like 99.9% of that shit was completely out of your hands. Glad to have you back, I missed you!

James White · 05-12-2004, 07:04 AM

I know how things go bad when your a designer bro. Sorry that happend to you. I nearly went to prison over a client that I didnt do anything to. I hated being in that biz.

XxXotic · 05-12-2004, 07:13 AM

glad you're back weeman, hopefully you can get it all sorted asap

eroswebmaster · 05-12-2004, 07:15 AM

good luck man...shit happens beyond our control sometimes. And if people can't accept that based upon their past experiences with you, then you're better off without them.

rickholio · 05-12-2004, 08:17 AM

Holy shit, I thought I was the only unfortunate stuck out here in the ass-end of nowhere :D

The wife used to go to Acadia U, but we're living in Halifax now.
