I was trying to buy something from a popular online retailer, and when I was going to purchase it said it wasn't available in my area and they didn't know when it would be available again. Out of curiosity, I changed the delivery address to my office, which is just a piece down the highway. The result basically changed to "yes, sir, we'll have that for you right away!".

May 5, 2025: Outage/Outrage
I mentioned recently I was on a bidness trip. It was actually a vendor's conference for something interesting they might have coming online relatively soon. Anyway, we were out to dinner, and I forget how it came up, but one of the main contacts we're dealing with expressed his and his family's love for a certain dick baseball player that's been exiled in Japan for the last few years because no MLB team will sign him. I later told my boss the despite the potential millions in revenue we could get, we need to cut off all contact with them immediately. She disagreed.
