Strange times 2

Hey there!
Haven't been up to TOOO much, but since coming back to the states, I have worked 4 days, so I am a bit tired. Luckily, today and tomorrow are off days, but with this time off, I do plan on cleaning up the house and hopefully take care of bits and pieces of other wedding things.

So, here is a story for you! I managed to snag a Wii. Yes, a Nintendo Wii! It was sure dumb luck but it works out ya know!?

Anywho, I was working at the Barnes yesterday and I had heard through Jassen rumours about Wiis being in stock at both Best Buy, Circuit, and Toys R Us. When it came closer to 10 am, I asked my manager if it would be okay for me to venture across the street to circuit city and attempt to get one. She said sure, which was rather awesome of her!

So, I FLEW across to circuit city cuz they were doing some sort of voucher system but the lady that I talked with on the phone misinformed. Apparently they handed them out at 745 in the morning. So, after waiting in line for 10 mins, I found this out...I then JETTED across the street to the bookside, and stopped at Best Buy. I saw a gentleman at the end of the line and asked if Best Buy was ALSO doing a voucher system. He said that you had to obtain one from a boy near the door. So, as I am attempting to track this kid down, the doors open, people are moving in like cattle, and I cant spot this mystery boy for the life of me.

I go to the guy standing at the front of the store and asked if there were still vouchers. Apparently they had JUST run out, as they were only giving out 24 Wiis. So, as I am saying OH MY GOSH in a disappointed tone of voice a little Asian lady, who later introduced herself as Sal, said that she had a voucher but wasnt interested in getting the Wii today....I think she was just looking forward to the Pokemon video game that was released yesterday as well. I gave this woman the biggest hug ever, since I was really just on a mission to get my parents a wii for their birthday present.

I went up to the stocks of Wii, got one, my voucher was 23 of 24,....and then went up, paid for it, went back to work, had it put in the safe. WOOHOO!!

If anyone else has a wii, I will trade friend codes with you with my one in the UK.

It's a good day to be living!
