Miscellaneous Ramblings....

Well, I was one of the stupid masses who got up early to do some shopping at Best Buy. I should have turned around and went straight back home when I saw that people were already coming out of the store at 6:13 am. Needless to say, the Toshiba laptop that I was interested in buying was already sold out (the person who had probably been there since 3:00 am probably got the last one).

So after standing in the (long) Best Buy line, for 35 minutes (for what was supposed to be a 15 minute wait) -- I finally get to a cash register. Ahead of me is a lady who has just been offered the standard Best Buy magazine subscription sales pitch (for EW or Sports Illustrated). I try very hard not to go ballistic as she says: 'Well, I don't know -- what are the pros and cons?'

GRRRH!!
