It's Here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So got up at 6:30 Friday morning and went to work to deal with the launch of the PS3.
When I arrived I was disappointed because I didn't see anyone in line outside the store. Bear in mind that there were people lining up at noon on Wednesday so when I didn't see them there I started to wonder but then realized that, according to our policy, someone had handed out tickets to the first 10 people in line because that's how many units we had. I had to tell this to the one poor sap standing outside, believing he was the first, and then watched him storm off.
After that everything went off without a hitch, which was too bad. I'd been hearing stories of other stores having riots in their parking lots and people beating the shit out of each other but sadly that did not happen. Instead the people who had received tickets marched in like zombies, bought the console and then left to sell them for two grand on ebay. Oh well, maybe next time.

I did have a great dinner that night, though. I had a giant olive and some Bambi.
