Early this week we went over to my in-law's place to see them we, as we hadn't been over that way in a while. We get there and my father in law shows us this huge cyst in his armpit, basically he's got a staph infection like I had last year and it's pretty bad news. He can't get in to see the doctor because of an outstanding bill and he's dead broke, they're both on fixed incomes with social security and drowning in debt.
So I pay my bills the next day and I find that I'm flush with cash, so I'm browsing around on amazon and ebay and thinking about buying a mechanical keyboard. I've been wanting one for a while that was better than my shitty Dell ALPS mechanical and you can get Razer Blackwidows for about 60-70 bucks. But as I thought about it I realized it would be kind of selfish for me to get this for myself while my father in law is sick and can't afford to go to the doctor, so I sucked it up and gave him the money I would have spent.
Today I walked into one of those OPEN BOX DISCOUNT CLEARANCE stores where everything is at rock bottom prices because it's probably broken. And there on the table was a Razer blackwidow keyboard, marked down to 40 dollars, open box. I haggled them down to 20. It works perfectly and judging by the complete lack of wear, it has never been used. Today, Karma feels very real.
