Help Desk Confessionals

I'm a systems administrator who provides tech support, data analysis, and report generation for about 300 users. No support staff. No other help. Just me.

Score!

My in-laws came to visit for a week, mainly to see their grandson Russell whom they haven't seen since he was two weeks-old.

On the last day before their departure, father-in-law and I decided to do some bonding by going to Fry's, an electronics superstore the size of Walmart. Each of us walked out with, among other "essential" items, a brand new desktop PC - an Intel Celeron 2.4 GHz, 256MB, 40 GB HD, CD/DVD, XP Home, for the dirt-cheap price of...ready? $279.

It *totally* made his trip.
