Backorder Blues

As mentioned in my previous post, I recently ordered a computer to replace one here at the office that shat itself. I thought all was well... I got an order confirmation, a shipping notification, and have even been tracking the shipment in anticipation of its arrival.

I get to the office this morning and am greeted by this message (Bold/Italics indicates my edits):
Hi You Poor Bastard,
On checking your order from Friday … I note that the above part shows a back order status because God hates you … I am checking into this and will get back to you with an update or I'll just let you sit there and stare at your monitor helplessly while waiting for an update that will never come … 
Messenger of Satan

So, yeah... Later today I will have a big box of parts with nothing to connect them to. I hope you're all having a better day than I am.

    Your coworkers are probably doubting that IT tech thing you put on your resume now. Asking themselves "Does he really know what hes doing?". Oh well what can you do but wait.

      haha Honestly, I wish they did think that. I really don't mind working on their computers or answering questions most of the time, but it can get a bit annoying at times when I'm trying to get something done and I get interrupted by someone asking for help with their personal computers.

    Well, for a messenger of Satan, you sure did walk away from it all well. You still have your soul? Nice.
