    A Gigabyte GTX780. It's very easy to OC and I had a somewhat better version of it. You know how video cards are and how it changes based on the vendor. I never had to have anything done to it so it's easily better than getting a refurb. Guy was super nice he was just happy to get a decent card for only $100 out of pocket. The MINIMUM on ebay for it is $225 generally for worse versions too.

    I've already sold the PS3 w a controller, Last of Us, GTA V and a couple cheap games for $245 so mission accomplished in terms of what I wanted to get value wise out of the card. Looking at a way better sound card now and then I'm going to get better headphones. The main headphones I'm looking at right now are 280 on Amazon but I may try and lurk for a deal. Gotta avoid China though LMAO.

    I got a GTX980 10 days ago so I really just wanted to get this old card gone while it still had good value. Had it listed for like a week w/o much real interest and then oddly a bunch of interest all starting yesterday. If this trade didn't work out the next guy just wanted to buy it but for my asking price and I got a bit more than that in this deal and it wasn't realistic to expect the other guy to want to match it in cash.

    My doctor didn't say Amputation, but I will have to get my toenail removed and a little bit of my toe removed if the meds don't help.

    I generally try to stay on top of it. It was especially useful for when someone tried to bullcrap me on the card I was selling. I nicely put him in his place.

    Guessing I won't have to upgrade for some time now. Only really did this cause of that deal with the phones and the inflated Amazon trade in value. Otherwise too many damn video game pre-orders coming out and I probably wouldn't have upgraded until summer when it's easier for me to get secondary income over the weekend.

    I chose a horrible time in my life to do online dating considering I'm at a 0% respond rate.

    So far I've (in my opinion) been the cause of two issues in plating baths. My boss and boss in training say I'm beating myself up over nothing but honestly I feel lime I've disappointed them. I feel I shouldn't even have this situation arising if I was doing my job to the standard I thought I was holding myself to.

    I was afraid I would get fired yesterday because the issue just loomed so fucking odd that it made no ducking sense at all and a lot of assumptions could be made about my work. However, the future boss said there was nothing at my fault and it was the person who trained me who fucked me over by not doing it right. My current boss stated I shouldn't be putting myself down and losing my confidence over it.

    Then today we get news there will be a quality meeting because a monthly test ran low and they believe the tanks ratio might be the cause. This means in two weeks shit I've been doing for 4 months now have come back to be done wrong or causing issues. However, looking at run charts it looks like the dude who trained me had consistently different numbers than the person before him and me. So that's going to be interesting tommorow.
