The Libran thought process
Musings from the edge

Sunday, June 06, 2004
Okay, I figured that I read what all of you think, maybe I would tell you what I think, not that it's really a secret, I usually just say what I think. Sometimes, though, something crosses my mind that I want to share...

Like the other day, walking to work, I was wondering "Is it egotistical if you met up with someone who dumped you years ago and all you could think of was that you hoped they were looking at you wondering how they could have ever let you go?"

There's a new store by my house, a liquidation centre. Opened Friday. Friday afternoon people were coming in to work saying that the wait to get in was at least 3 hours. That was just to get in! It did not include the inevitable pushing and shoving to get what you want and then waiting in a checkout line for god knows how long to pay for what you just spent the last 4 hours getting. I went home at 7 oclock and they were still lined up. Saturday, Rachel and Joanna went over to Shoppers at 3:30 and said there was a line up then. What really ticked them off was there were people in that line with children. Folks, if you are patient (stupid) enough to stand in that line for 5 hours (Shoppers checkout told me some had been there that long) do not expect the co operation of your young children. Get a sitter. If you're saving that much money by going here you can afford one. Anyway, back to the lineup. Saturday morning when I was going to work (7am) there were already people there lining up. Is this place giving away gold? I went home at 6:30 still a lineup. I was told there was a lineup this morning again. I stopped on my way home (hooray - no lineup) because I wanted to see if there was anything left. By rights, after all those people who were willing to wait all that time, there should have been slim pickings by now. I went in and there were no shortage of people in the store. The checkouts were lined up and the setup of the store means that even if you don't want to buy anything you still have to fight your way through the people at the checkouts to get out. There was still lots of stuff, but I had no patience to push through the crowd to see if it was any good. I'm a big believer of you get what you pay for! I'll wait for a couple of weeks when they're having their going out of business sale! I must say it made me laugh to see a sign on the door that says no returns or refunds during the grand opening sale. Made me think that either the stuff is not as good as advertised or this place really caters to impulse buying. Why else would you worry about people returning things the same weekend that they bought them. Guess it's just the cynic in me.

Okay, enough for my rant.

I have a personality quiz for you. You can find it at http://quiz.ravenblack.net/videogame.pl

I ended up being a Gauntlet Adventurer? Okay, I'm a child of the 80's but I have no idea what game this comes from! Anyone who can enlighten me?
