Hello travellers of the Web. Welcome to today's humble offering.
At the bottom, you will find a link to my latest humour column, in REM (Real Estate Magazine).
Although it is written for the real estate industry, it is also a general interest topic that could be "informational" for anyone, as long as you consider the source. So please feel free to check it out.
After my brief, misdirected rant:
Yesterday, I went to The Apple Store closest to me, in a friendly suburban shopping mall. I was well on time for my appointment, and prepared, having followed all the instructions in advance of arriving.
It was however, Apple iPhone release weekend. That familiar U.S. patriotic piece rang so true in my head as I waded through a crowd about the size of Ellis Island at the turn of the century - the huddled masses are indeed often unwashed....
After making my way through a gathering not unlike the original Woodstock music festival in size and scope, I arrived at a counter, to blank stares when I announced my appointment. Apparently it is standard procedure NOT to book One-to-One sessions during the organized hysteria that is a new Apple product launch weekend. If God hasn't already found this out, he will soon enough when He's looking for the latest heavenly devices released upstairs...
So, needless to say, I was unhappy. We did come to an arrangement that I was unhappy with, but at least got the wheels moving forward on what I needed. Unhappily...
All the way home, I grumbled to myself. Then I grumbled to Mrs. That Dan Guy when I got home, and was surfing through my computer to find the confirmation email for my allegedly non-existent appointment.
Sure enough, buried in my mail it shone like a gleaming diamond of proof - Saturday, Sept 28. Those maroons at the store were about to get a what-for they wouldn't soon forget!!!
That was about the time MTDG, echoed my announcement - "Saturday, Sept 28"?? Next weekend???
Bloody hell....

A great piece, sound financial advice, thank you!
As for your rotten Apple experience, well, what can I say. Oh dear, oh boy, uh-oh, oh Mr. That Dan Guy. Oopsy daisy. Ah, it happens.
My oh my....
