Went & got my haircut yesterday lunchtime. I'm slightly concerned as Yousef wasn't around and there were three employees there, the ratio of people to Yousef was all wrong. There was also a fellow who appeared from round the back and he looked like he could well be hanging about in some managerial capacity; I just got that impression from the fellow. This has concerned me, and if this is true I will hunt down Yousef and make him cut my hair. Until I know more I shall not change my routine. I like it the way it is.
I got some new speakers this morning, they are JBL Control 1 by brand. I bought them on eBay, on Sunday, for a total of £42, which was a bit of a bargain I say. They are very small but pack a punch, which is exactly what I need. Now, previous to today I had been using a pair of floor standing TDL Studio 5 speakers which I have had up for sale on Friday-Ad for the past few weeks. On Monday evening, rather conveniently, I received a call from a buyer inquiring about the speakers. Oh, this is very timely. He wanted to come over right away and pick them up.
I gave him my details and incorrectly told him I was the first house on the right, I do not know why I did this. Then, about an hour later he rang again and he was wondering around on the other side of the road looking for me, oops. Oh well, served him right for driving a smart car, the fool! He offered me £35 cash, and I accepted. Whilst waiting for him to come & collect I watched the football on ESPN. It was Villa versus Man City and as I watched I packaged a book in manila envelopes. It was Villa Vs Man City with me and my manila.
You see, I have put loads of books up for sale on Amazon and Green Metropolis, and have consequently been generating quite the hotbed of sales (it's a veritable gold mine, if you will). What I was packaging was an old text book on Statistics and it had sold at a profit of £11.89 (after Amazon took their little wedge). One of the nice things is that I don't have to pay for postage as I can just chuck it in the post at work. My current system is to wrap the book in manila and then reinforce the corners with parcel tape (today I used duct tape as I have run out of parcel), I then put this reinforced bundle in another manila envelope. This I neatly seal and address. The final package is then transported to the cubby hole at work, where I make my deposit and walk off as if nothing has happened.
