Finished

So today we wake up at 9am...  For most people that is pretty realistic, maybe even late, but for Tammy and myself it is very uncommon.  We work night shift.  We wake up at about noon, go to work from 2pm - 5pm and return home from work midnight or later.  We come home, eat, and veg out for the rest of the night.  It is impossible for us to get to sleep right after work so we end up staying up late.  So we wake up at 9am this morning to make it to Toys R Us at open.  We did this because last weekend an associate gave us a *wink* "hint" that it would be beneficial to make the 30 mile trek today to try to obtain the elusive Wii.  We get up, get ready and on a few hours sleep make the journey hoping it will be our last attempt.  We get to Toys R Us and ask an associate in the game department about todays shipment and about the Wii and to our dismay she screeches at us, "No, we don't have em and they never tell us when they are coming."  This is the response I have received for 3 solid weeks now.  The tone of this particular response just hits me at the wrong place.   I understand that these people are as tired of answering the same questions as I am asking them, but come on, it is your job.  You are being payed to answer my question.  I am polite in asking, please return the courtesy.  So anyway, we search the area further.  All the other retail stores are sold out and do not know when to expect them.  I am done.  I am no longer searching.  Tammy and I have both spent way too much time and energy on this hunt.  If Nintendo doesn't want to ship enough units to meet demand that is their business.  I am just going to sit back and wait for them to casually enter the stores when I will say, "Oh! Look there!  It is a Wii that hasn't been sold to an employee of the store.  Ten people aren't gathered around the game case to fight me for it...  Shopkeep!  Please fetch me that Wii!"  Until then I will ignore my hunting instinct and enjoy the board game I ended up buying today, Zombies!!! from Twilight Creations. 

I hope it is as fun as the Wii.  We will see!
