Funny Story - Broken Cables
Added 2023-03-25 09:00:00 +0000 UTCSo here's something funny for you, but not for me.
(Well, it shouldn't for you either, if you enjoy my Drawings?)
The cable for my drawing Tablet broke and I can't use it now. It broke like...half a week ago. So, first impulse was to Panic, then look where I can find a new one, and then panic again looking at the 50โฌ price it would cost me.
But let's rewind a little before I get to the part where I explain why I still have no cable.
Why did the cable break? Honestly I haven't noticed it up until a week ago where it had gotten considerably harder to plug the thing in. I've started to get this message popup, that a device couldn't be detected. Normally, plugging in the cable again would solve the problem and I guessed, that the problem came up due to my tablet getting older. Turns out, that wasn't the full reason for it.
As a left handed person, I have to use the Drawing Tablet in left handed mode in which I flip the thing and the Input for the cable goes from the right side to the left. Now, plugging the cable in from the left leads to it being bend a bit more than I would like and over those last years, the cable must have endured that "pain" until finally giving up on me.
Now back to the present. I knew that I'd need that cable as fast as possible. Even though I have a Drawing for the coming monday, I don't want to fall behind that much. The fastest way would be using Amazon. But there would still be a problem, because even though Amazon is fast, the Postal service around here isn't. Quite the contrary, actually. I remember cases where they wouldn't even show up with your stuff and just send it to a branch office while pretending the package has been delivered just for you to one week later get a message, that you need to pick it up 500km away from home.
I honestly didn't want this to happen, so I've searched for a more efficient and safe way. Amazon seems to have this "New" technology called "Amazon Hub" where the packages get delivered to this "Safe" in your vicinity where you can easily pick it up. I don't know how new this actually is, I just haven't heard from it before.
Seems great, I thought. ordered on wednesday morning, it told me, with Amazon prime the package should be there in one day at the latest, and indeed, on the same day, late evening, I got a notification that the cable had been delivered to that hub. Not that far away too, like 5 minutes on foot at most.
It was raining heavily at that time, so I guessed I should either wait until the rain stopped, or just wait until tomorrow, wouldn't want to get the thing wet. Besides that, I'm actually allergic to water, but I guess that's a different story.
The next day came and I went to that "Hub". First time using this thing, I had to remember the procedure to open those lockers. It came as no surprise to me, that I got unsettled after trying it multiple times without it working. "What did I do wrong?"
"Has an error occurred?"
In the country I live in, there's that prevalent Meme. Translated it means "The Internet is Uncharted Territory for us", and only just an hour later, I would be reminded of that meme that started maybe like 10-15 years ago.
After some calls and some headaches and near panic attacks later, I learned that the Hub broke and can't be accessed anymore. The Cause isn't completely known until now, but it's heavily suggested that the rain the day before destroyed the thing somehow. My cable sits there, literally just 5 minutes away from here, but with no way to access it.
I've gotten the notice from Amazon, that the money would be refunded and the order canceled. Furthermore, I would not be able to use the Amazon Hub feature until the actual Hub would be repaired which could take months from now. Serioulsy, where I live, Construction sites will randomly appear and from then on will remain there until you forgot they were building something there and just think of it like "belonging to the cityscape".
After some more talks with different Mail departments, there will be a different Department now delivering the Cable hopefully at the start of next week.
At least, I have a Drawing ready for Monday, but after experiences like this, I wonder if someone or something just really likes to see me suffer. We'll see when I buy a new Drawing tablet at the end of this year because the one I have really has been used quite a lot especially in the last year, but also those years before.
On that note, do some of you use Drawing Tablets? How often, and how long do those last until you need a new one? It's my first Tablet and I think I've had it for about 3.5 years now.
Well, at least I got to write a "Funny Story" out of it, so there's some value.
