where’s my post?
okay repasting it, and i’ve turned off the rich text editor which i instantly hated.
Here I’ve been, unsure of *where* to buy computer parts in Trinidad, mainly because I just didn’t want to drag myself to town, or to the environs of my dad’s work, or down south…lazy? maybe, but isn’t it nice to have a place to go to that’s close to home?
And one of the few places with a website online that actually lists prices unfortunately seems to be in port of spain. I used to think, for some reason, that they were in San Fernando. (POS being the capital and sort of to the north of the island, and San’do being a major city, next after POS? and sort of in the south of the island). Anywayz, there was I leaving my new bank and the plaza in which it resides and as my mom was driving I was trying to call my dad, facing her and i was like…ack! what’s that? I didn’t know they were there. it’s the store. And my mom says they’ve been there for maybe 2 years or so (but did she ever mention it to me whenever I was trying to figure out where to buy stuff…nooooo…and when I mentioned I didn’t want to go to a specific place close by).
So, there’s a computer store…one I mightn’t mind goin…in the same compound as my bank, behind my post office, where we go make groceries…where pizza boys and vie de france is (breakfast!!!)…and did i know??? no i didn’t. You know…they should say where they’re located on their website. Needless to say this is *very* close to home.
Mom says maybe I didn’t notice because we don’t usually leave from that entrance and I’m not usually on the phone facing that direction. It’s a nice try. I’m glad she didn’t say well it’s because you’ve slept through all of last year. But her explanation doesn’t work because if we sometimes enter there, I should’ve seen it…
Anywayz, I’m thinking maybe they were a different computer store.
Oh well, I can go visit. Maybe I can go buy parts at a rate of US$1 = TT$10 instead of the exchange rate of US$1 = TT$6.30. Might seem a big difference but when you factor in the convenience of running back to them and saying I don’t think that motherboard you sold me works…
