How Much is Your Time Worth?


Sorry about the sports takes recently, but it’s playoff basketball. It’s the Lakers. It’s something I’ve loved since the good old days. I can still hear Chick, "Magic fakes left, shoots right, GOOD!" Go Lakers! And hey, they played good team ball back to back games and got a win. It's gunna be a good series.








Thanks to sitemeter, I found out that if you google "quickness originality delivery sting", the second result down is my blog. I thought that was pretty cool.

Now, let me adress the title of this entry. I was at Vons the other night to buy food and beer before the game, and the checkout lines were insane. I hate shopping at those huge grocery stores now. I wish I could buy everything online. It’s bad enough that you can’t ever find anything (I think they purposely make the aisles so tall that you can’t see where stuff is, and strategically place the shit that you need on opposite ends of the store) but then you have to stand in line behind a bunch of morons in order to pay. I always pick the wrong line too. After picking the shortest of three lines, and waiting for what seemed like forever, the girl in front of owed a total of $11.18, which she attempted to pay for with her debit card. It was denied. Then she gave the checker $10.00 cash and tried to charge $1.18. Guess what? Denied. Then she started to look through her bags to return something. She said, “this is so embarrassing”. To which I responded, “look, I got your $1.18, just let me get out of here.” I wasn’t trying to be nice or a good Samaritan. I was just paying for my sanity. Time really is worth money.

I'd have paid 5$ to get out of the grocery line. I hate waiting in lines for anything...

i'd say she was somewhere between hot and fat and ugly. that really wasn't the point though. to be honest, if she was hot, I would have coughed up the whole $11.18.
