Today started sucky. Today ended awesome. Here is today in a nutshell.
527am: Wake up.
528am: Put in contacts.
529am: Find clothes for work.
532am: Get in car, drive toward work. Stop on the way and get liter of Mt Dew and a bagel melt sandwich.
602am: Punch in to work.
That was the part that sucked. Now it gets better.
850am: Find out we have 42 of a very specific gaming console in stock.
902am: Call mother and request her presence at a certain store at the time of their opening. Negotiate terms of her doing me a huge favor. Need to find out what time store opens.
907am: Call her back and tell her it opens at 1000, not 1030.
947am: Hand mother ticket #11 of 42 for very specific gaming console.
1002am: Store opens, wait patiently.
I'm skipping the boring part of me still being stuck at work and I'm skipping to the end. I came home today with all this stuff.
I punch out and do some shopping. I needed a couple of HDMI cables, a HDMI switcher box, and some "test media" for the very specific console that was in stock. I ended up with the following:
PlayStation 3 60Gb console
4' Monster M-Line HDMI cable
8' Monster M-Line HDMI cable
Dynex HDMI switcher
Call of Duty 3 for PlaySation 3
Terminator: Judgement Day BlueRay disk
X-Men 3 BlueRay disk
The retail on everything excluding the PS3 was $678. With my employee discount it was $303. Monster cables are incredibly marked up. I mean, I knew it was a stupid amount but really, it's just insane. I haven't even hooked any of it up yet, since after work I went to my dad's and we went out for lunch. But now I'm going to go hook it all up. I'll report my findings back later.
My day > your day.
