Default What do you do to kill time?

As some of you might have known, I ordered a few things recently for my computer. One part that I am still waiting for is my case. Here is the story:

So after starring at pictures of cases for the last 12 months, I agreed to purchase my self a new computer case. I wanted a decent case for a long time, at the moment I have an El Chepo 40$ case which does look quite alright, but its getting to small and the temperatures inside that thing are in the desert territory.
So...I find a case that I really like, its an Antec SX1000II VAR II. Nice beige case, no windows or any bullshit like that. I hate lights on computers, to me its like rice...anyway I grab the credit card and buy it. After waiting for 3 or so days it still has not been shipped. So just before I started writting a letter to these people, I get an email from them saying that my case is on delay since they do not have it in stock although their site says "In Stock ". They wrote down some excuse which made it all sound nice and sweet. So I figured its a 1 or 2 day delay...I work at a computer store and when things are late, they usualy arrive day after the original date of arival. But no, I had to wait for something like 10days for them to ship me the case. And the place is in Canada, 8 hour drive from were I live.
So 10 or so days pass and Im on the verge of writting them a letter asking for a refund. And just like before I get an email from Canada post saying that the product has been shipped and its going to be here today July7. WEEEEE Im jumping from joy. So I dont go to work because I figured that Im going to move the computer in the new case blah blah blah......and guess what. The bitchass post office fucker does not bring the case to my bloody door and leaves a delivery notice saying that I should come to the post office tomorrow to pick up the parcel.
And the reason why I bought this case of this place is because usualy I get stuff the next day.

Sometimes I wish I did not have that credit card so I can go and buy things localy.

So here I am pissed to the bone, mad at the world waiting for that damn case for almost half a month now. Its 7.29PM the weather is shit, and I can only get my hands on the case tomorrow after 1.

So what to do? Nothing on the damn TV, weather to bad to BBQ or anything like that. No cash to go anywere.....no games to play and the only thing on my mind is that case................

Life is unfair!



P.S Did anyone actually read this?

When I am bored and I don't have videos to watch (never happened since JW opened its doors), I search for a topic like this, read it and post an useless comment

You cant find a single game that would keep your attention for an hour or two?
