Weekend's over.

Festivus at the Q's was pretty much okay; the food was great of course. Dealt with Ginger decently this time. She wasn't feeling well so her energy level was tolerable.

Thanksgiving and other large-scale gatherings remind me of why I like to disappear for half an hour at a stretch to get away from the psychic press of too many people.

The drive home last night was not something I want to repeat anytime soon. Driving home in a steady downpour on roads that are flooding do not do good things for the adrenaline levels.

Some annoying person sniped one of my dj's last night on eBay. Must have been at the absolute last minute, or else the winning/losing page wasn't updated properly. *grumpy* At least the two I was really gunning for are in my theoretical possession. And with 19 minutes and a large bid on one... this humble person can't say she's innocent.

Hope everyone else had a good weekend.

When I snipe, I usually wait till under the last minute, sometimes even under 15 seconds--but then you have to worry about there not being some *glitch* or slow down of the server.

Of course, that's assuming the auctio doesn't end at some odd hour, like the middle of the night. @_X

*laughs* I think someone with your philosophy got the better of me last night. But that's all right - win some, lose some.

With luck, the item will come around again, and it's money spent somewhere else.

Well, let's just say I learned from being sniped myself on countless occassions... Now, I only do it if it's something I really want--though last time I tried to snipe, my bid was outbid anyways, since the other person had set a really high bid on the item. @_X

*pretends to look superior* Serves you right! Heh heh.

I set a huge bid on one of my desired items, but no one else tried to grab it. Lucky for me.
