Monitor

My monitor is all fucked up. Not always, but more frequently, I'm getting a lot of this:



It's been getting worse. At first it was just a single line, then a couple. Now it sometimes takes up a whole third of the screen, making it useless to try to navigate or read. Not to mention that it vibrates and bounces, which gives me a headache and fast.

Okay, so it's time to get a new monitor. After futzing around, I decide on this one and start looking around. Looks like Circuit City carries it. So I go there and, it being Tuesday, they're not over staffed. The kid in the computer area is helping this woman who's got this constant snarl on her face. I mill about, because I've worked retail and I know he can't stop talking to her. I'm not listening exactly, but it seems like she's just making stuff up. The short of it comes down to this: She wants an MP3 player, but she doesn't have a computer. What? What?!?

Fifteen minutes go by before that little gem comes out.

Finally, I get to ask him about it and they're out. Of course they are. So I'm off to go home, and it occurs that perhaps CompUSA, across the street has one. I call Tine, she check the website and they have it. So I turn around and head back.

Just like Circuit City, a Tuesday night does not have plethora of employees. And the kid in that section is helping another couple. I think. I was never 100% sure about that. What I am sure about is that every time he seemed to be standing there, I would approach and he'd suddenly be off to do something else. He even made eye contact a few times, but said nothing. I actually let this go on for about 20 minutes before give the fuck it and leaving.

I'm still out a monitor.
