for want of a nail...
I forgot to post my experience of getting a watch battery. I wear a Casio watch that costs less than a watch battery costs, but wanted to get a battery for a Michael Kors watch since the watch was worthless without it. so...
last weekend, I went to wal mart at about 8am...no one was there to replace the battery.
same day, went back at about 1pm...there was no one there to replace a watch battery
one week later, back to wal mart, they don't replace batteries in watches unless it is in one of the cheap shit watches wal mart sells.
so....went to Kohls 2 days ago...she looks at the watch, and says it is too expensive of a watch...take it to the battery store.
went to the battery store...she says she can only replace the battery if the watch costs less than $300...punches a bunch of keys on the keyboard...says she can replace the battery...takes out a special tool and removes the battery. then says she is out of the A210 battery. but the jewelry store across the street will honor the price.
go to the jewelry store...ring the bell...they are closed.
so I go to the Chicago Clock store nearby...they are closed.
later I go back to the jewelry store..no one answers the bell. I look at the sign on the door, and it says Sundays by Appointment only.
so I go home.
Today, before leaving to go downtown, I go back to the battery store, she has the battery, and charges me half price due to my inconvenience.
I spent at least 3 hrs of my life on such a silly endeavor. plus, my cell phone has a wonderful, accurate clock.
I have worn the watch with the new battery today and did not look at it once to check the time.
did you ever read so much about so little?
