Future Shop Fail

You see those people on TV, but you never think it'll be you. 

I woke up at 5. Got to the store at 5:40 for one of those doorcrasher sales. People were talking about how they had never seen so many people waiting outside a store in Brockville. I waited 30 minutes outside. I got the ninth of ten computers they had in stock. I was prepared to spend $400 on the computer I had chosen. Then they talked about the Acer machine at $300. I had also heard that the $400 machine was the one they knocked down in price. Yay, right?
 
When I got home, it was not at all the same computer, and not at all what I wanted. I went back there, and not only do they not have the one I wanted, they likely never got them in stock and they aren't doing exchanges or refunds until Monday. And I have little faith that they will ever have the computer I want in stock in a timely manner. So I am stuck with this other machine that I don't want until Monday, and I will likely have nothing to show for my efforts. I even bought a computer backpack and everything.
 
And I was MAD. My father was with me suffering from my wrath the whole time. I had to have him drop me off at Tim's so I could have a bagel, coffee, antibiotics and stomach pill. I immediately felt MUCH better. 

Maybe I'll get a new computer elsewhere.
