Holiday Shopping

Getting The Holiday Shopping Done

by

I’ve been making an effort to get my holiday shopping done ASAP, locally and online. There are going to be some happy faces by the time I’m through getting everything sorted! Some of them probably aren’t even expecting it! I made a few new friends at work this year (and got better acquainted with some older ones) and I wanted to brighten up their holiday! Because Bob only knows there are so many trippin’ balls to take it all away.

I still have a few things more to get, but I’m pretty much 85% of the way to the finish line.

I was talking with someone at work today about getting along on holiday shopping, and he complained about how hard it is to find time to holiday shop. I know this guy well enough that he has all the tools and services to just do some searches, maybe a little research depending on how deep you want to go, and “click”, done… I would think literally having the internet at your fingertips would make something like making Christmas Shopping more, plausible? I mean if kids can spend their parents hard earned cash on in app phone purchases and Fortnite swag I would think at least one bathroom break could be used to get a special thing for a special someone, that came out wrong…

Of course I’m not perfect either… My problem is that I can order things on time, but can never seem to send things out on time… though a good part of that is trying to get over there sometime between getting off work and them closing. I would send packages during my lunch break, but the local old people like to use it as one of their social clubs, and I don’t want to spend a good part of my lunch break listening to random old people noises and waiting for them to finish so the line can move.

Ah well, first world problems n sheeet.

Evening Open Thread

I’ve been doing a good job of wearing myself out these last couple of days. Instead of writing something here I was focusing on writing an ending for one of my upcoming videos with the help of Yutram and inspiration from a couple other things. You can also expect a Skyrim video this weekend, full of animated craziness. The New Year’s video is almost done too, just need to put a finishing touch on it before the final export.

My Christmas shopping is pretty much done for the most part. I’m at the point where I’m waiting for a couple items to show up, and then I can wrap things up and send them out… hopefully this weekend if the planets align in my favor.
