In Buffalo. :bangwall:
How's this for a dilemma - I was offered a ticket for Rutgers at Ohio State. In Columbus.
In retrospect, you might have been lucky to have been spared a first-hand view of the, er... somewhat less than inspiring outcome for the Scarlet Knights (assuming you didn't go). :takecover:

Finally out of China, worst internet ever, slow and most things are blocked. In Korean now flying to Miami tomorrow.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Oh, that sucks.

Any chance of a refund or exchange?
I bought it from a second party resale site so no. I can either use it or try to sell it myself.

God, today sucked. If I may rant a bit...

I started getting a bad headache around noontime, not helped by the new guy calling out for the second day in a row. Great way to start![/sarcasm]A fellow associate who called me lazy even though I'm twice as fast as her, stood in the middle of the door to the back while I was rolling to her, leading a customer to tarps. I told her to move since we were about to collide and she still hadn't moved and acted like I was evil. Later on after loading the FedEx truck I was wrapping the final pallet when I knocked my head into a steel bar. I dropped to one knee for a few minutes because any movement and my stomach and head went in two different directions. My supervisor Roxeanne asked me if I needed an ambulance and since we've worked together a while, I also knew she wasn't joking.And at the bank, even though there was no one being waited on, I still had to wait over five minutes for a teller because... I don't know why. But yeah, this was not a good day for me.

Thank you. Today, simply by dint of no head injuries, has gone vastly better.

Yeah Wednesday I fell going down some stairs, went sideways and banged my head on the steel hand bar.

Awesome. Watching live the first National Football League daytime game in London. 80,000 spectators in Wembley Stadium holding up colored cards to make an American flag symbol during the performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner" - which lyrics were penned about an event in a war fought by the U.S. against England. #ironic?
