6800 Ultra... and my wallet

Ok... Well its friday and I am at work right?

Right and that sux. I used up all of my vacation days going to Texas (no regrets there) and here I am working with mostly non or soon to be americans (no regrets there either) on the day after Turkey day. I think I will reward myself for not sneaking out of here early by playing games all damn weekend... maybe a movie and the club in there someplace. I was supposed to be running around like a madman with all of my old friends from New Haven but alas i am not. I am at work. You might as well stop reading now because its not going to get anymore interesting than that. Oh I got some shit... I.. well its really not all that interesting now that I think about it. UPS lost a package of mine... thats part of it. The better part is that I bought this comp part from E-bay from this dude ok I payed for the shit through paypal (don't act like you don't know what that is) 3 days pass and the charge comes out of my account then the dude cancels the order and refunds my money... if you've ever had to deal with paypal you know that this refund process takes like 3-4 days. The guy contacts me via email and says that he didn't want to pay the fuckin 8 dollar paypal fee and that I should send him a money order... shadey right? So I tell him lightly to fuck off. I go to see my gf in Texas that weekend after I check my email and the dude has sent me that address to mail the check to and it's in Denton, TX like 10 miles from where me and the gf are.. so i go an meet the dude... I should have known shit was fucked up when he wanted to meet at Walmart. People that know how to build machines know better than to go walmart for anything.. the second tell tale thing was the fact that he drove a fuckin eagle talon only rednecks drive eagle cars.. third tell tale sign the dirty acid washed jeans... when I approached his car there seemed to be dirt flying around inside of it... long story short I looked at the part and it appeared to be ok at least it looked better than he did so I bought it.... as I walked away I heard the voice of Dave Chappell say, "Damn... Lamont is fuckin up!"... SO needless to say, I got it home and it didn't work. I didn't even attempt to contact "pig pen the dirty texan" I promptly found a reliable source and bought another one (note: the "thing" i bought was a $300+ video card I was planning on running alongside of my other matching one in SLi mode.. if you really want to know ask me....) So thats like 600 bucks up in the air. I order my vc from newegg right... trustable.. i've ordered things from them before with no problems... I get the 3 day shipping option... 3rd day comes... no video card... I check the shipping tracker thing and it says its on it's way to my house... I call UPS... they tell me its on it's way to my house... mind you its 11pm... The package is lost... at this point I figure that the computer gods just don't want me to have it... Fuck the gods... I want my shit. In the meantime I registered the broken card I got from pig-pen in TX and sent it back to the manufacturer.. they approved and they are mailing me a new one on Tuesday at the latest... unfortunatly through UPS... if they loose my shit again "Brown" is going down. OK so getting back to pig pen real quick.. if there is anyone in texas who has some styrophoam, gasoline and dogshit to spare i would give you an address and 5 dollars to drop an equal mixture of these elements to a good friend of mine. He likes it when it's mixed well poured into a bottle, set ablaze then thrown through his window. It's cool... we're friends. So anyways UPS looses my package... they couldn't tell me it was lost until 2 days past the delivery date.. They tell me I need to call the sender so that he can file a claim/start an investigation for the missing package. This process takes 7-10 business days... I am making another bottle for UPS...
