The following is a letter of grievance sent by a writer friend of mine regarding her local COMP*USA store in Augusta, Georgia in response to the shitty service she received when she took her Apple iBook in for repairs. Enjoy!

Dear Ms. Anderson:
In a world that is so rushed, where few people have the time or patience to help others, where outstanding customer service is a rarity instead of a given, it is always rewarding to shop in a store that treats its patrons with respect and courtesy.

1. Was able to sleep until 7:00 AM* before my Upststairs-Neighbors-from-Hell woke me with their incessant cacaphony of moving furniture and dropping bowling balls on the floor (*usually it starts closer to 5 or 6:00 AM)! Continue reading Top Ten Reasons Why Today is a Great Day→
Gail has that elusive quality that seperates her writing from other critics… it's called "soul." Her writing comes out of a genuine love of music, rather than from some misguided attempt to impress with phony conconctions of hip references and obscure name dropping. You want proof? You'll see Gail up front at a great rock 'n' roll show dancing her ass off, while other critics are ruminating on whether or not their folded arms and bored expressions are giving off the proper amount of ennui. Gail is the real deal, and she rocks!
Norwegian painter Edvard Munch’s oft-coopted and wildly iconic masterpiece The Scream has been recovered two years after masked gunmen stole the painting from a Norwegian museum, Oslo police announced Thursday. Yay.
I have never felt compelled to give a journalist a hug after an interview, until Gail Worley. Within moments of speaking with her, you sense that Gail is in this for the right reasons. Her passion for music and writing is evident in the way she puts you at ease and draws out the best from you in conversation. I had a hard time shutting up because she got me so psyched! Gail was also responsible for fulfilling my childhood dream of getting in Modern Drummer magazine, writing a great piece. I appreciate that she took the time to help a kid from New Hampshire get out there a little more. Thanks for writing about what you believe in, Gail. Your talent and spirit don't go unappreciated, my friend!
