Let me tell you a story filled with magic and wonder! Our hearts will be our guide on this mystical journey. This day starts off as any other day. I wake up after hitting snooze on my alarm clock 3-4 times, I quick get ready, throw on some clothes, and I’m out the door to work. And what do I find when I get to work? It’s a Woot-Off!!! For all you followers of Woot! out there, you know what I’m talking about. Throughout the day I monitor the site, carefully monitoring the site. A TV grabs my attention, but alas- it is a refurb. Then it happens… a bag of random crap! Oh… quick… where is the “I Want One!” button? There! Click-it! Oh, it’s processing… processing… yes! Next screen, fill out my shipping information- done, billing information- done. SUBMIT!!! Processing… -Page cannot be displayed- NO! The servers are being hammered by everyone! Resubmit- nothing, resubmit- nothing, resubmit…
-Order Accepted-
My hopes and dreams soar as images of big-screen TVs, new computers, and yes- even a battleship (not the board game… an actual battleship) dance through my mind.
Stay tuned for the conclusion of this thrilling tale.
*Background: for those viewer out there (Who are we kidding, I don’t really need to add the (s) to ‘viewer’) Woot! is a website that usually has one thing for sale a day. The exception is when a Woot-Off happens. When that happens a new item goes up for sale when stock on the previous item runs out. Finally, a bag of random crap is just as it sounds - random. You are at the mercy of Woot! You buy it for $1 (+$5 shipping) and it can potentially be anything. It could be a 60” Widescreen 1080p LCD TV, or it could be a paperclip.
