My laptop is wearing out.

And because I’m always at home, I figured I might as well get a desktop.

So, I planned one out.

Processor. Memory. Cooling.

And the last piece, a newly-released graphics card.

Expensive as hell.

I took off work and went out early.

Got a car wash, got gas.

Parked at the store… and there was a line.

Socially-distanced, but not too long.

It got longer behind me.

And, when the store opened… sold out.

They only had a few graphics cards.

Handed out vouchers early.

Fuck em. I think I’ll buy it at another store.
