I am not a good negotiator
Posted Jan 7, 2001
Totally true story that happened to me today:
I was standing around, waiting for the train that takes me home, when a guy walked by me. He was wearing a leather jacket. This was our exchange:
Him: Four hundred dollar leather, man.
Me: I wish I had four hundred dollars.
Him: I'll sell it to you for fifty.
(at this point, I vaguely wondered about the quality of this alleged "four hundred dollar jacket", since he rather abruptly dropped his price. Why introduce it as being worth $400, then drop to 12.5% of its alleged value? I decided to press on, smelling a bargain.)
Me: I've got seventy-five cents. (which was true, as I rather doubt he accepted credit cards)
At this point, he demurred, apparently thinking that a three-hundred fifty dollar rebate was enough for the likes of me.
Besides, there's this *other* four-hundred dollar leather jacket I've got my eye on. Perhaps I should go back to the store and see if they'll sell it for fifty.

When snow freezes over, that means it's cold, right?

I don't have to go to work...because of SNOW. I mean, there's a lot of it out there, but...geez. Snow. Weird.

The NBA has decided to allow for free broadcast the Lakers-Pacers game tonight. It's been a long, long time since I've heard Chick Hearn's voice. 
Still 
though.
