So Best Buy called me last Friday and told me that they decided to junk my camera. They weren't going to be able to fix it. They said that I had to bring in the original receipt, box, instructions, and accessories in order to pick out a new camera. I bought my original camera over two years ago, but luckily I kept all that stuff.
I would have gone in on Friday night to pick out the new camera but I stayed in the City and got drunk at this Irish bar called The Cheiftan. There are actual Irish people in there. The Bartender is Irish and he has a wee little voice even though he's a pretty hefty dude. The other dude in there is Irish too but his accent is a little different. The customers in there were Irish too. This one drunken Irish chick came up to me and was all saying stuff but between the Irish accent and the drunken slurring I couldn't understand a damn thing she said. I just smiled and nodded. I probably missed a chance to get laid.
So anyway on Saturday I woke up at the buttcrack and drove to Turlock. I had to go there to pick up a copy of my birth certificate. I need it for my trip next week to CABO! ::does the booty dance around office:: Woohoo! I can't wait to go to Cabo. Anyway, I had breakfast with my parents and then drove back.
Then it was off to Best Buy to get me a new camera. So I went to the service desk to see the dude about getting a new camera and he looked my paperwork over and then told me to go to the camera department and they would let me pick out a new camera. I asked him about the rechargable battery that I gave them when I turned the old camera in and he said that they threw it away. I said that I bought that after I had the camera and he said that the camera department would work that out with me.
I went to the camera department and told this hot filipino chick what went down. She said a manager would have to help me. So a manager came over and I told him the dealy'o and he tried to get me to take this bottom of the barrel camera. It didn't come with a battery and none of the features that my old camera had. He said they only had to supply me with a comperable camera and this one was better because it was a 3.1 Megapixel camera while mine was 1.3 Megapixels. I told him that Megapixels weren't everything and my camera had all these features and on top of that they threw away my rechargable info lithium ion battery which would cost me about $60 to replace. We went back and forth a bit but eventually he saw things my way and I got the camera that I wanted.
I picked out the Sony Cybershot DSC-P8.

I'm satisfied but they guy tried to make it out like somehow I got over or something. I'm so sure! I paid $299 for my camera, plus another $60 for an info lithium batter, plus another $60 for the extended warranty. The replacement camera that I got would have cost $399. So if you look at it that way, dollar for dollar, they got off easy by a few bucks. If they don't like it then they shouldn't sell extended warranties.
Yesterday I sat at home and watched football with cakeboy, the funk, and buddha. Everyone left after the first game and I did laundry. Then The Funk came back and worked on his car in the garage. Then Buddha came back and brought over the Double D twins. Those are two chicks that The Funk and Buddha met the night of George's bachelor party. They are nice enough girls so I won't say anything mean right now.
We all washed our cars. Well, I washed my car and The Funk washed his car. Then The Funk started washing Little D's car and shit. Then he hounded Buddha into washing Big D's car. I wasn't about to lift a finger for either one of them. Being nice is all good but I don't even know these girls to be all doing manual labor for them. If you are my lady then maybe i'll wash your car but you better be one hell of a sweet lady.
