Doubled-Down on Boredom, with a Side of Aggravation
In an effort to avoid boredom that would require too much of a technical explanation, I walked over to Cavalier Computers a few minutes ago to get a Macbook-to-component video adapter.
Wandering from where they used to be long ago to where they were last, I noticed where they are now just as I heard the front desk guy say something over the phone about a Wii--at the very moment that I notice a new-in-box Wii sitting with the video adapters.
Forty-five seconds before I could pick it up myself, the guy on the phone got the last one in stock! Arrrgh! Now I'm first on the list for the next one in, but that could be three weeks. The one I saw today was part of a "surprise" shipment. I didn't even know they carried Nintendo stuff at Cavalier, which I think of as the place to go for work-related computer stuff. They handle 90% of our computer purchases for the lab.
And no, they didn't have the video adapter I needed either.
In other news, Thjora just called to say that we got our building permits and she has just spent $6000+ on three glass doors for the great room and the kitchen.
