It’s Black Friday, the biggest shopping day of the year. Last week, junk mails started to file up. I have been receiving “doorbusters” ad from different stores. It is tempting, but anyway, I decided to stay at home, and clean whatever there is left to clean before the weekend hits.
The other night, I went to Best Buy, and some people already started to camped out. There were already tents outside the store. Accordingly, the store is offering limited units of 42” LCD TV’s for $199.00. If this is true, it is indeed a good deal.
During this day, it is usually the tech stores that get most of the shoppers. Too bad though, the Circuit City in Daytona Beach closed its door a year (or two) ago. It gives a limited option for shoppers looking for techie stuff. In fact, the Knight goes to Compumall in Orlando just to get computer parts for his system. By the way, he assembles his own computer. He is not fond of laptop or netbooks. As a designer, he likes his gigantic monitors and high-powered CPUs. A desktop is easy to upgrade and the parts are lesser money than that of a portable system.
Talking about computers right now reminds me of my days working for a computer reseller in the Philippines. It was actually my first job right after college. I first worked as an Accounting Clerk, then six months after as the store’s Admin/Personnel Head. It was a very cool experience for me. My former boss was great, so as my my co-workers. It is one experience that I would not trade for anything else. It was also during this time that I met the Knight. It was technology that bonded us. Our conversation revolved around techie stuff, but now, it has evolved to something else – family stuff. Wow, I just realized it has been 10 years since I met him.
Anyway, I hope that everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving Day. Enjoy the long weekend too! Whether you are going somewhere else or just relaxing at home, take a deep breath and say – what a wonderful life it is!
P.S. I need to get back on surfing the recipes for left-over turkey and ham. The picture in the previous post is basically our left-over.
