Well, I had my first internet troll in a long while! I was commenting on a Neil deGrasse Tyson post regarding science and history when some... individual decided to devote considerable time to telling me I am what is wrong with America because I am apparently and I quote: "a woke self-hating reverse racist," several other political statements of that ilk and to cap it off "mentally deficient." As befitting someone of my "deficiency," I just replied "Huh?" and went on with my day. Let him explain the "joke" again to someone who's not listening or get enraged enough to get banned. What do I care?

Internet culture aside, the rest of the day was quite nice! Sold a fair share of phones at work with the holiday weekend starting up, got a few future leads, had to fend off the competition, that sort of thing. I also, seemingly, have the worst timing. Five times in three days I have stepped away for my regular break, my lunch break or just to use the bathroom and customers show up looking for me and my products only for the competition to come in and make their pitch. I will admit, they're quite good at it!

Something of concern: my knee is starting to pop in the area of an old hiking injury. Seeing as I'm on my feet for a good eight hours, I dont want this to get worse. As much as I don't want to spend the money, I think a knee brace is going to be needed. I really hope not.
