My Slackware Tee Shirt

12, Nov, 2008

Yesterday I was sitting at the table having my afternoon Java (Eight O’clock makes the best coffee!!), when the postman arrived at the front door holding a package. Quite strange as I wasn’t expecting anything. It was addressed to me, so of coursed I started to open it. As soon as I began to tear open my package, The Boss (my girlfriend) comes running around the corner cussing. She was after my package, and in a hurry too!! This just made me even more curious as to what was inside.

The day before all this, I had been eye-balling that snazzy new black T-Shirt at the Slackware Store. Was all set to confirm my order when The Boss walked by, and more or less, convinced me not to order the shirt. Not wanting to argue, and sleep on the couch, I decided to let it go. Figured I’d just order it in a few days, and forget to tell her about it. At least now I know why she convinced me not to get the shirt.

She wasn’t mad that I opened the package. Though this was to be a Holiday gift. The Boss was surprised the package had arrived so soon. The bank had not debited our CC by the time of delivery. She said it took 3 days from order placement to delivery date.

So, here I am today, once again enjoying my afternoon Java, only this time in style! Must say this is a high quality shirt. It’s one of those heavy weight Haines Beefy Tee’s. Don’t know why I wouldn’t expect the highest quality product from the Slackware store. Given the quality of the distribution, and lack of corner cutting, I guess we really should not expect anything less from the material items as well.
