Bit of a spiel here ladies and gents, but here goes:
My wife was (and still is) keen on one of the new Samsung Gear s3ās (I personally dont see much in them but anyway) and I had been on the phone trying to track one down which in my head I knew I would have a better chance of finding t!ts on a bull as they were that hard to get at this time of year after the Boxing Day sales. Anyhow I rang around at all the JBās, Officeworks, Harvey Normans, Samsung and every other place that stocked technology devices and JB at Chadstone said they had one (the Frontier version). I was shocked and said "Great put it aside and we will come pick it up.
I also thought I wouldnāt put my egg in the 1 basket and tried my luck at a small town near me. They had 3 of the buggers left. I said āCan you put 1 aside and I will see if my wife can pick it up sometime todayā.
My wife didnāt want to go for the 55 min trip each way and wanted to risk going to Chaddy tonight, even after mentioning she could do the trip and be back by 5pm (I even offered to go just to get out of the house). She knew better and went to Chaddy only to find that the bloke I spoke to was wrong and the stock that they said they did have (one) was the display model only.
Annoys me as now I have to go on a ā ā ā ā ā ā treck tomorrow even after telling her she could have had this wrapped up tonight. Also ā ā ā ā ā ā off as all the department stores that did say they had one in stock but were either:
- Stocking errors (said Frontier, when it was actually Classics)
- Faulty items that were returned or just not bothered to be taking off their inventory
- Glitches (e.g call my local JB, they say Fountain Gate had 4 of them, call Fountain Gate and sit on 1hr hold but they dont).
That can be a pain , Silly Billy.
The way we work with our inventory is that all stock is accounted for and on our system ,be it display or floor stock. If something is broken and has to be returned to the supplier or written off internally ,we still have it counted as being stock on hand until it is replaced , credited or taken off the books.
Still ,the bloke could have sold you the display stock and at a discounted price . I would have ,but i don`t sell watches !!!
Almost a year ago today I was camping in Victorian High country, tent leaked, flooded, had to bail to a relatives house who lived nearby.
This time, tent leaked, flooding, but after a crap load of beer have managed to McGyver a few tarps and stuff to keep most of the water out of the living space.
Will just lay her for another hour or so until the rain eases and I can survey the damage.

Beer is known to help improve problem solving skills/work rate for chores.
It reguarly helps me when assembling kids toys which seem to require more construction work than a house and get more complicated every year.
Speaking of which I have a crap load of toys from this year to put togetherā¦grrrrrrā¦time for a morning beer.
Oh and if you are one of those people who get joy from buying these gifts, then fark you, you sadistic farkers. Pay someone to put it together or do it yourself before bringing joy to a little kids day.

Keep a list.
When they have kids, buy them little toy drums, trumpets, and dolls that talk.

I swear by this. Im sick of them. Grandparents are the biggest culprits. We had 15 of them between Christmas and the oldest birthday which is in another 15 days.
Worst I had was one of the cars you put the kids in that you control by remote (with all the electronic bits and pieces to resemble a real car). Needed a ā ā ā ā ā ā electrical licence and mechanic degree to put it together.
And to the companies that make these packs to cut costsā¦ GAGF!

My parents got our sons a playground set. 2 storey timber fort with spiral slide, monkey bars and 3 swings.
Took me 2 1/2 days to put it together. Some bits didnāt fit so had to machine some home made extras.
Got burnt to a damn crisp as well.
Plus I get the joy of pressure washing and oiling the timber every 6 monthsā¦
