Something Update.

I got my Something yesterday.
I picked it up on my way out to go shopping and acquire fuel for the vehicle. This meant that I had to wait until I got home to find out what it was. All I knew about it was that it had to be small, because the box it came in was small. Either that or it was shipped inside a mini-TARDIS.
So, after making myself feel like a visualization-challenged 'tard, (separate story that I probably won't share) I finally went home.
As it turns out, the Something is a travel-sized magnetic Chinese checkers game. Kind of nifty, I suppose, but not something I'd ever use. Maybe I'll stick the magnetic pegs to the steel walls in my office.
Overall, though, I really like this whole getting random things in the mail idea. Even if I do end up with something I could probably pick up at the local dollar store.
And now, a non-sequitur for my personal amusement: If you can make a decision that is potentially worth millions of dollars, but can't ever decide what to have for lunch, you might be an engineer.
