Office Max Saves the Day

/

So, I thought that I should pass this experience on to anyone who ever has to print in a pinch. I desperately needed a poster printed and laminated for tomorrow (the 4th). I am sponsoring some beverages for our neighborhood's (Homestead Farm) annual 4th of July party. I needed an 11x17 poster printed in color and laminated to let people know where this coveted nectar was flowing from. Called Fedex, no answer (even though their site said they wouldn't close till 6; it was 520). The only place that was open on this Sunday was OfficeMax in Highland's Ranch (a 20 minute drive from my house). Not only did they answer when I called at 541, they said it would be no problem if I emailed them the pdf and then came to pick it up before they closed. My girlfriend and I raced to the store as fast as we could. We got there at 603 and were greeted at the door by first name on our way in. They had the poster printed and laminated in color, and here's the kicker... for under $3.50. The customer service here is awesome, and definitely bailed me out this time. I recommend them for everyone's printing needs. Thank you OfficeMax. Get at em.

To my dearest sister...

Am I slow to catch on to really cool things? Absolutely. But in this case, that doesn't matter. Yesterday I saw the "Dear Sister" skit from SNL, for the first time, and like usual when I see an awesome video on youtube, I had to show everyone I know. Having not seen my girlfriend for two days (had to go out of town to a corporate conference. Not nearly as bad as it sounds. Kinda dope actually) naturally the first thing I did when I I saw her was make her watch this video. She laughed, hysterically, but was unwilling to view it a second time, immediately following the first. When I saw my roommate (my mom. I know, its' pretty cool huh?) again, I insisted that she watch it. She hated it. "People getting shot isn't funny!". Uhh, when murder is done tastefully, yes it is. I sent it to my managing broker, and he loved it. So after showing 3 generations, I had the thought, "why do I think this is funny?" I think that being raised in a time with GTA, Halo, gory movies, and in general, violence, has allowed my generation to detach ourselves from situations. Whereas my mom no doubt grew up in a much different time, it makes sense that she cannot find that amusing. She also misses the point on everything. I love absolutely ridiculous situations, that are uncalled for and unrealistic. Well I have to take off now (driving to Boulder), and if anyone actually read this far, I am sorry. This has been some of the worst writing I have ever done in my life.
