[TriLUG] OT: Local Store with a good variety of button cells?

[Ken M via TriLUG]

Funny dialog from a few years back while in another persons office

Very Short coworker: did you get my email?
Me: no let me look now.
(Pull out my phone to check it)
Shorty: oh I would never do that.
Me: do what?
Shorty: connect my phone to work email.
Me: why it is so convenient? I am literally able to get to the email you are asking me about now.
Shorty: I just don’t want it connected to my phone.
Me: you are being a technophobe, I bet you still use the yellow pages.
Shorty: no I am not that bad, I don’t use the yellow pages anymore.
Me: oh, wow, so how do you see over the steering wheel?
At that point she flipped me off and stormed out... 
there are all kinds of little victories at work...
