My day in Mame Hell
« on: April 25, 2006, 09:48:24 pm »


Thought I'd share my day.

So today, I decide to pick up the MDF material that I need for my new cabinet.

Store #1: Currently sold out of MDF.
Store #2:  Full stock on the upper self, but the forklift is being used to load roofing materials for the next hour!
Store #3:  MDF in stock , but the cutting saw is broken (needed 1 cut so it could fit in car)!
Store #4: back to store #2, but  nobody there can operate the saw - guys at lunch!

said the hell with it and went home.

Store #5: decided to go out and just get paint for the cabinet.  Picked out the correct color chips, but the salesguy tells me the mixer is broken!
Store #6: brought the smae paint chips with me, but the salesguy tells me they are out of the tint needed to mix my paint!

6 trips = A total waste of time...life in hell I guess.

-Mike

The MAME gods are not smiling at you today.

Go get some rest or deal with Real LifeTM  and just try again tomorrow.  If you're building a MAME cab, you're going to be making roughly 43,235 trips to the hardware store anyway, so this is only the beginning. :)

that is a real bummer of a start! dont worry, that sounds like a really bad set of circumstances (unless you live in slackersville). most places will have most things most of the time...

You left out the part where you violently killed somebody. I refuse to believe that you made six different trips, bought nothing, and yet nobody had to die.
