Whuh huh?

In the video store (btw - why do I still call it a video store when there isn't a tape to be seen?) today, I asked the guy how all the special deals work and he explained. I thought I understood and returned with a pile of DVD's for the family. It came to much more than I expected so asked him again how it all worked.

This was the crux of the misunderstanding:
Guy: This is a new release so it costs $3.65 and ...
Me: But it says seven-day hire on it. Doesn't that make it a weekly hire?
Guy: No, no, the ones with ten-day hire on are the weekly hires and ...
Me: *walks off in confusion over who changed how many days there are in the week*

D-Day for me

Clearly, it was The Day of D's for me today - I put Dexter S1 (down to AUS$36.49 already - WOOHOO!) and Dilbert - The Complete series (down to AUS$15.99) on lay-by today. I've never seen the cartoon version of Dilbert but I find the strip funny at times so figured that I'd give it a try.

The D's continued with an unexpected tray of a dozen doughnuts landing in my lap, two of them literally, the other 10 metaphorically, as the person handing them over to me manged to hit the edge of the counter with the box and kind of flipped the box at me. I did catch 83% which I thought was good - but I got THE WHOLE BOX FOR FREE for my "troubles". WOOHOO!
