today i had a drunk customer - which was an odd experience. as soon as i started to help him i knew, i could smell that he had been drinking. it was just after 1:30 in the afternoon and he was interested in the three piece suit. apparently he is friends with this new manager and he was trying to convince me to give it to him at the friends and family 30% off price...note - friends and family does not start for 2 1/2 weeks. i told him that was impossible, i told him he could open a card and save 15% today, i told him i could put on hold for a couple of days but not for the entire 2 1/2 weeks. he didn't seem to understand. he kept trying to bargain with me. eventually i just walked away because i wasn't really sure what else to do. oh and i sold a cashmere coat so that made me feel better. then this other weird guy asked me if i had ever spent any time in a south american ashram...um, no.
yesterday ABN and i headed to the apple store bright and early, before i had to be at work. after months of waiting, it was finally time to purchase my new computer - we've been doing a really good job of sharing ABN's old computer (and by good job i mean that we both grit our teeth while the other reads their "news") but it was time. i mean i haven't had a NEW computer since 1999 when i started school.
these gadgets have come quite a long way. don't be surprised if i start spending my mornings in the apple store taking free classes to learn all the ins and outs. i know, i'm a huge dork.
i've spent the last day (when not running around pineapple nation) uploading music. i have a lot of scratched cds which makes this process not the easiest but i'm determined to save what can be saved. a highlight was finding the recording made the last saturday night of college...not only did i put it on the computer but it has now been uploaded to my iphone. yep that was me that you saw walking through the tenderloin with a ridiculous grin on my face.
