the quickbooks saga continues.

now that i have it installed, i still had to register the dang thing. which required a phone call to their 1-888 headquarters. answered by someone with a thick, fast, pakistani-like accent.

the call went something like this:

her: aloyouhacalldequickbookswhawoolyoulitodo?

me: ummm...is this quickbooks?

her: yeishowcaihelyoo?

me( enunciating profoundly and loudly): i need to register my quickbooks 2008.

her: ineeyoolicennubre

me: excuse me?

her: yoolicenubre

me: the...license number?

her:yeyeyoulicennubre

me: ok. (i give it to her)

her: nowcayougotodahopay

me (ears straining really hard): i'm sorry, can you say that again?

her: GOTODAHOPAY

me: pay?

her: HO--PAY

me: ho...pay?

her: HOOO--PAYYYY.

me: home...page?

her: yeye. hopay.yooci?

me: ummm...i'm sorry. i can't understand you.

HER: YOO CEEEE HO PAY??

me (ears hurt, head hurts): i don't know. i don't think so. i'm sorry.

HER: tljfdljaoeuflavnvdeoraoljal;fha;rfadlfhafafjldafhadltheouradlfadfhaodfue

me: i gotta go. i'm sorry.

HER: lajfladnvldnfaelrhalvdalfhekrhfaldfhvle;rha;fhdaslf

me: click.

sigh. which means i did not register quickbooks, and within 18 days, i have to call back and try again.
