Stupid Story 11-29-05

Abbreviated Version:

I built a new computer and all the parts shipped from the next state over, but the motherboard was comming from California, which ment it would not be delivered until after the holiday. So, I order another motherboard and have it shipped overnight with the intention of returning the first board and saying it was the second board and get my money back.

When I build the machine on thanksgiving, the motherboard that was rushed to me was broken and didn't work for shit. Next day I go out and pay twice as much at the local retailer just so I can finish building the damn thing. Works Fine.

Next, I had to buy another motherboard to replace the one from the local retailer so I can get all that money back I overpaid.

Then I got an RMA for the damaged board and sent that back.

I now have the first motherboard (Which was free as part of a bundle which I will never use) and the motherboard I actually installed. The cost to juggle all these damn motherboards was about $500. After the dust settles, my free motherboard will have cost me $160.

Just another one of those things that I simply DIDN'T need to know:

Person #1: I haven't been able to poop in two weeks.
Person #2: WAY too much information there.
Person #1: It really hurts.
Person #2: No, seriously, you don't need to share with the group.
Person #1: I should see a doctor.
Person #2: I'll be returning to my desk now.

Total Time Spent in Store: 5 Minutes

Person #1: Do you have any XBox 360's in stock?

Now, despite the big signs that said they were sold out, and despite all the news reports that units were sold out across the country a freakin' week before, the least he could have done was have come out at 6am like anyone else would have done, had they actually been serious about buying one.... dumbass.

A Weekend Away

I went on a Work/Vacation trip to Florida. While I was down there, I found myself completely surrounded by idiocy. I have pages of notes I made to myself. Lots of really funny stuff. It's funny when I step out of my normal life and see how much mental damage there is out there. Anyway, I'll be making posts as I can. Many require scanning from the tourist guides and stuff.

My hotel did not have any curtins, just see through sheers. I really appreciated that first thing in the morning when the sun came up.

Did you know that in Orlando, Florida.... tourism capital of the world... they have Travel Agent shops. By that point, isn't it a little late to sell me on a vacation?

In Tampa, I was flipping through the Tourist Guide, and it listed Lawyers. I found that to be amuzingly out of place. I am there for a week, and they want me to sue people.

I went to Tampa, Florida for a business trip with my boss. He told me to meet him at his house at 4am. I was a good employee and was at his house for 3:30am to get an early start...... 4:03am I am calling his house and waking his lazy ass up out of bed. The humour of the story? Skip ahead 2 hours and we missed boarding the plane by approximately 3 minutes and they would not let us on. They said "We are the on-time airline". U-Huh... coming back we took off 25 minutes late, so you know I was early for that plane.

The website name www.IShootBrides.com just cracks me up. I know it's about photography and all, but damn what a stupid name simply begging for jokes.

Cashier #1: That's the manager... what's the manager's name? Bill Beaver?
Cashier #3: Gill Beaver.
Cashier #1: Oh yeah...
