Short Break
I’m going to be in Las Vegas for the next week at a conference. I’ll be back on Saturday. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to post anything while I’m gone. So these updates will have to wait until November 1st when I’m back.
I’m glad to be going. But two things have already gone badly:
First, I ordered a new laptop from Newegg.com. It’s a great deal, and I wanted to get it in before I left for Vegas, so I ordered the overnight shipping. I did that on Wednesday. They processed my credit card on Thursday, then they shipped it on Friday, and now it’ll arrive on Monday after I’ve already left. So much for “overnight”.
Second, I bought two DS games from Gamestop, so I’d have something new to play on the flight. I paid, left the store, and when I got home found out they forgot to include the goddamn games with the box. So I paid $70 for two empty boxes. Since they were already closed by the time I found out, I won’t be able to get back to them until next Saturday (November 1st). Hopefully they’ll admit the mistake and give me the games I paid for; otherwise, I’ll have to be prepared to argue when I get back, and I hate having to do that.
Anyway, see you next week. KF
