When last we parted, I was planning to stand out all night waiting to buy a Wii on Thanksgiving morning. Alas, how my plans changed. I decided to try to get to Kmart by 4 AM, since my area was being racked by thunderstorms and then a cold front. I awoke at 3 AM, not to my alarm, but to a pain racking my stomach. On Thanksgiving- how cruel is that?
I weighed out my options and decided to do the Black Friday thing instead of waiting for a Wii on Thanksgiving. But alas again, that didn’t work out either, since my stomach was still hurting and the nausea that plagued me all day on Thanksgiving- Thanks-freaking-giving, people!- was not only not better, but worse. A trip to the ER, $300 and 8 billion hours later, it was determined that I have an ulcer. All my friends’ reactions to this?
“Gee, Ivy, how surprising.” (note the dripping sarcasm)
As if my schedule wasn’t busy enough, I need to find time for things that relax me. And quit drinking caffeine and alcohol. But they said to relax! Oy.
But no worries, I still feel like I will find a Wii. I talked to some people at WalMart today that said to come by between 9 and 10 AM to see if they will have Wiis to sell that day. Every day between Monday and Friday. Again, not like I had anything else better to do. Same with GameStop, who told me they get deliveries randomly in the morning, to check by about 10 AM. We’ll see how my amazing time traveling skills work, since I have to be in all these places at once.
I’m waving a very, ahem, friendly finger at the awesome people at Best Buy who said, “We have no idea when Wiis are coming in, I don’t know what time you should check, don’t bother, okay?” Thanks, Best Buy. I’ll be sure not to bother at all when I go to buy all my kids’ Christmas gifts, which are very heavily centered on electronic items. I’m sure there are plenty of other places that would love my business.
Ya know, I know they get tired of the same questions over and over, but is there any need to be rude when asked a polite question?
