I knew it! I knew this would happen!
It was going to be perfect. I was going to have a lap top. Nothing fancy, just something I could load Word on to and work on whenever I was out and about. But my plan was foiled. FOILED!!!
As I mentioned before, the IT department at work was having a sale. I came in at 9 and saw the guy setting up. I asked him how long until they were ready for business, he wasn’t sure, but said I could take a look. I spied a couple of spare lap tops, asked a few questions about them, and took my leave, planning to return a few minutes later and purchase one when the good gentleman was ready for my coin.
I got back. And the vultures had descended.
The first lap top was already winding its way out the door. The second was in the hand of someone from another floor, smiling with a great deal of pride in her purchase.
My window had closed.
[silent rage]
I bought a printer for Sarah for $2, but I felt hollow inside.
[shakes fist with a sense of disappointment, heartbreak and annoyance]
Oh, blogging. You’re my only comfort in these dark times.

ouch
but I guess that is why you're called the considerate cowboy. If I was there - the angry receptionist - I bet I would have had 3 lap tops. BAM!
