The battle edges onward.

I have a warranty now. I'm not sure why I was asked to get one by the Sony Factory Repair guy, because the Sony Customer Service guy found it online for me. Amusingly enough, I'm so stupid that I was looking in the wrong place; the Canadian Sony site - what a fool I am! Why didn't I think of looking on the American one, where BOTH American and Canadian warranties live?

After finding this, I saw about actually getting permission to get my laptop repaired, given that it's 9 days out of warranty. The Customer Service guy said that it would be ok, but he needs the repair quote from the Sony Repair dude - the same guy who hasn't called me back yet, apart from leaving a message with my mother yesterday. I don't know what the message was though, because my mother can't hear.

This is so much fun! I love playing gopher for my own repair job! It's like the best real-time strategy/RPG I've ever played! However, there's a possibility that I'm soon going to write my letter of resignation to Sony.

I wonder what would happen if I actually did that …

Helena said if she gets a job around here I can play with her Mac... I said bad idea, 'cause within 20 minutes it'd have linux on it...
If it makes you feel any better, I have no warranty on my laptop, aside from Nick's Extended Warranty... Unfortunately, the NEW is only good up to about $100 of damage right now... maybe less, I need to check my bank account before getting any NEW work performed... Hopefully nothing will go wrong with it...
If you do resign from Sony, can I have that cute little Vaio cover? It fits my Sotec perfectly, and people will think my laptop is cooler than it actually is! Come to think of it, can I have the Sony stickers off the laptop too? :D

A Sony that is new
Is what you need to do
It'll have a new warranty,
It's too bad laptops ain't free :(
