Ah home. It sucks. We both are sad to be home after a great week. Not only was the weather more to our liking, but the people and area made us happier too. Both of us were anxious and fidgety yesterday with nothing to do.
Our big outing consisted of grocery shopping. Look out. Other highlights include dyeing my hair and starting a new tv show (White Collar). So much excitement.
One thing that did happen last night was some friends came over to drop off our keys (they watched the cats while we were gone) and to get some files. They brought over a 3Tb drive they bought for $60 off Facebook. Sound too good to be true? It was. I plugged it into three machine and it didn't do anything. I shook it to see if there was a drive spinning up and guess what? It rattled. We cracked the seal and found .37 worth of pennies glued inside. I have never actually witnessed that happening to someone, only the stories, but here it was. A case full of pennies. These are the kind of people who look for 'bargains' everywhere and here's why you don't do that. You get what you pay for sometimes and this time they got ripped off. Plain and simple. I felt bad, but they brought it on themselves. For another $39 they could have bought one from a store. Your 'savings' cost you more. I did find a blank jump drive that fit what they wanted and am bringing it over this morning so there's that at least.
Tonight we are having dinner with a friend then it's back to the work week grind. I also need to do my timesheet today. Whee.
