Holiday blues
An interesting - if not frustrating - thing about dive shops is that they’re usually not open during the times I’m available - weekends. That’s why it came as a surprise to me when I found out that the Scubaworld near my house was open on Saturdays til 2PM. Bought a hood and other knick-knacks (goodness only knows when I can use those!). Started looking for a long hose, but no dice. Anyway, I thought that they would’ve been open today, so I was somewhat getting agitated when I found myself still in the OR at 2 this afternoon. At the end of the operation, I almost literally bolted out of there and drove like a maniac just to get to Makati. Long story short, it was all for naught because the shops I wanted to check out were both closed (Aquamundo for their new line of back-plates, and Nautilus for a five or seven-foot hose).
Crap and double crap. And a phooey to boot.
Makes me realize all the other things I wish were open on week-ends. For example, the post-office. Been getting a registered mail notice the past few weeks. I figured since I didn’t order anything abroad, it can only be a sub-poena. Screw that, I’ve got better things to do than go to court for.
