No not afternoon, morning, and yes I didn’t sleep at all. For some reason my mind just kept running all night. I decided to end the charade that was trying to sleep and get up and get moving as the alarm would be going off in an hour and a half anyway. Now I get to enjoy being jittery and delusional all day from the lack of sleep and high doses of caffeine that I will be intaking. I see it as a sort of Tom Hanks-esqe performance from “The Money Pit” where he gets stuck in the floor and starts hallucinating. Now on to some ramblings.
1. Â I can’t have a microsoft scheduler but damned if every program I use has spell check built in!
2. You know what has the worst trade in value ever? Video games. Traded in 10 games this past week at a gamespot and came out with a whopping 20 bucks and change. All games were complete with case and manual and in pristene (no sctratches) condition. The real kicker was that one game sold for 6 bucks which meant that the rest were pretty much crap. It also didn’t help that they robbed me a buck or more in smaller percentage off each sale as I was getting cash instead of store credit.
3.  I realized this week that a good sub shop is hard to find. When you are used to traditional subs like the ones you find back in New Jersey in pizza shops and good delis it’s almost like trying to find a real bagel outside of there. Luckily I have a Jersey Mikes subs around the corner and they saved me from going to one of the big chains (you know “we like to bake our subs” and “wrongway”). This trip made me wonder how I got by in college and then I remembered that somehow there was a little sub shop in Clemson that did pretty darn well, it was called Lil Dino’s and it was very underappreciated.
Well, off I go to work and the 24 hours of pure non stop excitement that it is. Hey, maybe I’ll hit a deer on the way in!
Some CDs and DVDs also lose their value appreciably. I’ve sold many on half.com. The problem is that the ones I really don’t want are almost completely worthless. It’s cheaper and easier to throw them away than sell them.
I should also add that you can sell video games on half.com as well, and perhaps you could do better selling the games individually.
I now remember what we talked about in college. We spoke of nothing- and nothing mattered.
