In this situations (being worried about 'minor' things), my Mother in Law usually says (rough translation): 'God forgive us'. It works for me !
You don't need to be specially religious, it is just a reminder that there are important things in life and then others...I am sure you can imagine many situations when you would PAY so that your biggest problem is having to buy a couple of new tires and postpone for a while a new zoom lens. ;-) Jaume ----- Mensaje original ---- De: John Celio <[email protected]> Para: [email protected] Enviado: viernes, 23 de enero, 2009 5:56:53 Asunto: Arrrgh So this afternoon I tried to go to Keeble & Shuchat, the biggest camera shop in the Bay Area, to get a DA* 16-50. A friend of mine works there and told me they were liquidating their Pentax stock, mostly because the old rep (same one we had at my old shop) is no longer with Pentax. Apparently Pentax USA hasn't been paying much attention to K&S since he left, so K&S decided to just drop the brand altogether. My friend got me a pretty good price on the 16-50, and even though it was a little more than B&H (plus tax and gas (50+ miles each way)), I figured it was worth it to support a local (relative to B&H) business and an old friend. Well, Google Maps failed me miserably and I wasn't able to find the damn place before it closed. It was the first time an online map was so incredibly wrong for me. On the way back, I was so frustrated I decided I needed to get something else to fill the void where the lens was supposed to be, and went to four big box stores looking for Rock Band 2 for the Nintendo Wii. It was sold out everywhere. Then I got home and noticed my right front tire is nearly BALD. Fuck! Now I need a couple new tires, and that just throws everything else out the window. Sorry to vent. Frustrated beyond belief. 3+ hours of driving for NOTHING.
