Watch
Tuesday, January 6, 2004
So I bought this timex watch since my old timex had to be retired.
Then, after a couple of weeks I returned to Walmart to exchange it for another watch, since the analog part of the watch was not working.
The sales representative in the jewellery section called a manager, who swapped watches for me.
Then a wizened old lady (aren’t there ever so many grandmas and grandpas at walmart these days?) came and gave me the old watch, which was working perfectly fine.
All she had done was depress the crown of the watch so the hands start moving.
D’uh. Just a moment before that, I had let on that I was an electrical engineer at UCF, and that I thought it probably was the battery dying or something.
A significant low in my life.
