I wanted to move my computer to below the desk. I needed extension cords for the keyboard and mouse. I went to Office Max, where I was quite suprised to find them turning the doors off at 8:45.
"Closing early?"
*bewildered look* "No."
"It's quarter till."
*looks at watch* "It's ten till."
Apparently they're one of those places that expects to have the lights out at 9:00. So I got my cords. Then I went to Home Depot and got a gift card. Then I went home. As I pulled in the driveway, the clock in my car read 8:58. It was two minutes fast.
Then I called a friend who I hadn't spoken with in a few months. He wanted to know if I wanted to see Bruce Springsteen. "Springsteen is coming to town?" "Yeah, Miller Park. Tickets go on sale saturday." "Really?" "Yeah!" "Huh."
It was 10:30 by the time I got off the phone with him. Then I had to hook the computer back up. I should have taken notes on what I pulled from where. I didn't think it'd be too hard, since there were only two cords. Wrong. I think I had them sort-of backwards, and I could get only the mouse to work. I switched them (two cords, three ports to choose from, several adapters), and now I have only the keyboard. So I'm doing this with no mouse. It's a little tedious sometimes.
