A new toy for me, and a health update!

The other day, while I was at work, I thought to myself "How much is a PS4 Pro these days?".. So I went online and had a look. I was pleased to find out, that it was super cheap, so I was kind of thinking "Hey, maybe I should buy one. I know I have a PS4 Slim, but a PS4 Pro is so much better".. So I looked at my savings account, and I had the money for it. So I withdrew the amount, and then I reserved the console for pickup later that day. What could possibly go wrong? Well.. As it turns out.. A lot..

When I arrived at the store, I went into the warehouse, laid my phone down on the counter and went "Hi, I have this to pick up." The guy went into the depths of the warehouse to find the item, and when he brought it back, I asked him, if they accepted cash or cards only.. "Cards only. If you have cash, you have to go into the store to buy it. Take this little sticker with you. It has a barcode that they have to scan. After that, come back and collect your item".

Alright, cool. I did what he said, and I went into the store. I went to the department, where they had the item. I presented the barcode sticker to the guy behind the counter..

"Oh, you need to head over to the registers to buy it."

Cool cool. I went over to the registers. The lady scanned the barcode - which wouldn't go through. She then had to call the head office to ask what she had to do. Instructions were passed, and I paid for the item. I then went back to the warehouse, presented the receipt and the sticker, and went "I am back. Here you go".

The guy looked at me and went "Where is the blue cardboard item that you took?".. I then had to explain, that I reserved the item, and went into the store to pay, because I had cash and not card. At this point, it had taken me 30 minutes to pick up my PS4.. I am a very patient guy, so I didn't really mind waiting. The guy behind the counter called a coworker over, and went "What am I gonna do next?". The coworker explained what he had to do, and once that was done, I finally received my item. Now it is just chilling on my tv stand, and I am enjoying every minute of it.

But all this could have been avoided if I had just bought it with my card, and not with cash. That shows me that I need to do that more often..

In other news: My uncle is improving every day, which is a relief. They have found two small clots in the left side of his neck, so he is scheduled for surgery next Sunday. He is back home now, and on Friday, he is gonna go to the hospital for the surgery. He really dodged a bullet on that front.

Also, yesterday our PM told us, that we had to wear face masks on public transport and while walking around inside restaurants and bars. We are allowed to remove it when we sit down. I am starting to think, that face masks will be mandatory on public transport from now on and until the end of time. I don't really mind it, if I am honest. I do miss hugging people..

Have they determined in his case, what the cause of the clots were ?
