I’m still against the concept of Twittering.. nothing changed. I still find it quite useless, with one exception.(...)

- I’ve just woke up
- I’m brushing my bad breath away
- Wow! No cereals?
- Hmm.. I forgot to pee.
- Uhhhhhhh… What a relief!
- Taking a shower..

- Watching …

He goes, with his admission letter, passport, photo, personbevis for bank account, etc, etc.

He ends up at a branch and is told that they cannot give bank accounts to people without Swedish ID cards, and instruct him to go to the Police in order to get a Swedish ID card.

In the past months, the wired card stopped working, the DVD writer is stupid.. and also my battery is charging half way only.

For those that don’t know my dv6054ea got repaired one time last year in August whilst in Sweden, and another time this February in Poland. Both times, the motherboard was replaced altogether + others.

Yesterday I called in.. mainly to see what are my chances to get a replacement.

Why was I not surprised to bump into a guy that was following a stupid protocol, instead of thinking on his own? I was asked to go through the troubleshooting session with him, although I explained the situation from the beginning - I want to make a complaint of some sort.

WTF??

Hej och välkommen till Tele2! Du pratar med Ida Jnsson. Vad kan jag hjälpa till med?
16:30 Hej. I have a Snackis subscription, but when trying to SMS a non-Swedish number, my message doesn’t reach the recipient.
16:30 I can call to that foreign number though. Is there something wrong, or is it that I need to activate something?

  1. 7:30 alarm
  2. Breakfast
  3. 8:20 out the door
  4. 8:34 subway on time in Kista, in order to arrive at 8:51 at T-Centralen
  5. 9:00 arrived at T-Centralen (after SL decided to have the train wait in stations)
  6. 9:11 saw the Stockholm-Uppsala train leave right in before my eyes, after not finding the right exit to the surface

On Wednesday I went with Gaya to pick up her keys for the dorms. It was obvious that she would get the wrong keys - either to the room, either to the mailbox.

Evrika!

After checking the digits on the key and the shape..She got the wrong mailbox key. I went back to the desk and said “Hej! I’m the one with the wrong mailbox key.. The two of us share the same room, and now her mailbox is definitely the wrong one. So.. either keep the key, or try to find the right one!” and then I left ’cause I was also on the phone.

As soon as I left, the KTH Library girl asks Gaya “So… you two live together?! And you’re ok with that?”

Therefore I need to get it all out, and then continue with much more pleasant things and ignore the shitty ones.

It might seem “funny”, but I’m complaining about KTH after just 2 weeks.. That’s says a lot about their induction.

  • I shop around at ICA/COOP/etc
  • I get all my things checked-out (of course, while just looking at the sky, since the Swedish etiquette says you’re not supposed to hurry and start putting your shit in your bags, while they are still checked-out)
  • I then pay with my card and enter my PIN
  • I then want to go put my stuff in the bags
  • As soon as I move towards that, I get the “Hmm Hmm.. Kvitto?”

So all this for nothing!

Why? Because in order to get a monthly plan with Tele2, you need to be employed or to receive CSN money (which is only for Swedes anyway).

Swedish friends to the rescue!!!

The support lady was nice though :)
