David is an occasional blogger, software engineer, Nintendo fanboy, liberal, news magazine addict, voracious TiVo user, and bibliophile. He was born in St. Louis, grew up in southern Indiana, and returned to St. Louis to attend Washington University. He hasn't managed to escape yet. He's a fan of free wine tastings, too many tv shows to name, and eating out. David makes his living developing web applications used internally by his employer. He doesn't blog about work because he's heard too many stories about that causing workplace troubles. There's more on the about page. |

TigerDirect has changed the order status of my monitor from "Awaiting Inventory" to the equally cryptic "Shipment Pending." Note that my merchandise has not actually shipped, so these two phrases are basically indentical from my perspective. I suspect that they change the wording of the order status after a week so that people don't pester them with emails. Everyone will think, "Look they changed the words. That means something's happening. Now I don't need to send an angry email!" But I have seen through their scam. And have I sent an angry email? Yes, sir!
I get paid this Friday. But this doesn't mean much to me, as I've been spending money as if my credit limit had suddenly increased to $10,000. Oh wait, it has been. (Should I ever max out my credit card while in college, please shoot me. It will save me the trouble of having to do it myself.)
That's all for now. I need to run down to the ATM and withdraw some money so that I can buy some lunch.
