this bothers me… no matter what combination of stuff I use, I can’t seem to build this computer (S1642, $589) cheaper than I can buy it… That sucks… it’s never happened before… I still can build high end computers cheaper than I can buy them, but now I can’t build my parents a computer cheaper than I can buy it… For the first time ever, my family is going to own a computer that I didn’t personally put together… not sure how I feel about that

yes, I got hit by a semi-truck yesterday… twice… I would tell you the whole story , but manda ruined it with her whole “CHAD ISN’T HURT, but he did get hit by a truck” approach… See, I prefer the “I was stopped on the interstate and got hit by a semi-truck, twice! same truck!!! oh yeah, I’m fine” approach sounds better that way…

oooo… lunch is provided by the office today… always a good thing when bosses have birthdays

more later… gotta work… busy, busy, busy…
