I wanted to get it from NewEgg instead, because I hate Best Buy. But my wife&#8217;s reason prevailed, seeing as how we live in an apartment building, and waiting all day for a delivery would be annoying, and if something was wrong with it, we&#8217;d have to mail it back at our own expense. I love it when the Best Buy employees, who supposedly don&#8217;t work on commission, try to push X, Y, and Z on you. We just had to keep saying &#8220;No&#8221; repeatedly. We stood our ground, though, and I&#8217;m glad we did.\n<li>I gave myself a papercut while filing stuff at work. It was dumb. I hate getting papercuts. And this one was under my fingernail, too. Ouch.\n<li>I started doing our taxes online and put in the wrong letter for something, so it appeared we owed the government some insane amount of money. I started to despair. Then my wife caught the error, and we both sighed in relief. Seeing as how I pride myself on meticulousness in data entry, I hung my head in shame for a good hour afterwards.\n<li>When I was walking home from work one day, I was singing quite loudly along to my Sandisk player, and just as I got to the bridge of Michael Jackson&#8217;s &#8220;You Wanna Be Startin&#8217; Something,&#8221; a runner passed me, turned to look at me with a smile, and gave me a thumbs-up. <\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since most of my blog readers aren&#8217;t people I know in person, I rarely write posts about my everyday life (and most blog posts about &#8220;What I did today&#8221; are quite boring to read, so this may be too).
