This week has been absolute ****. I won't go into too much detail, but I will say two date offers were turned down back to back, and that this occurence follwed a several year trend. The result has left me bitter, angry, and a tad violent. Thankfully, I've only hit street signs and and kicked a few roadblocks: nothing animate or owned by any one indifidual (I'm sure my campus will manage with a few dented signs).

Earlier this week I got an e-mail saying that I had a new message on this site. I'm normally not a very active member of this community (mainly because of school), so this was rare. When I saw it was an admin, I thought I had won something or was being contacted personally for whatever reason.

Turns out it was a mass message about Capcom credit cards. Already frustrated and furious with my nondigital life, I sent a somewhat snide reply to this e-mail. Tom, someone I am assuming is an admin who reads all those messages, replied and said that they company has to send out mass messages again. I apologized and said "It's just been one of those weeks."

Earlier tonight he responded again. He said he was sorry for my situation and gave me a code that I can redeem for a few Unity points. I entered the code, saw that I had received 500 points, laughed, and sobbed.

For the first time in a very long time, someone other than my cheerleading parents actually acknowledged me and did me a favor. That was the first act of kindness I had received in too long, and it was from a complete stranger. I couldn't hold back my tears.

After cleaning up, I thanked Tom and began writing this.

If I didn't love Capcom already for their awesome games, I love them now for caring about individual consumers.

Thanks again, guys. I am not exaggerating when I admit you made my day.

P.S. Does anyone know how to redeem those points?
