So there I was at the Germantown Court arriving at 6pm for the 6:30 appointed court time. See I really wasn’t in trouble. I was standing in for a good friend of mine, Manish. But he wasn’t in trouble either. He simply came to Memphis on a business trip to do his taxes a couple months ago. I loaned him my VW Jetta which is garaged more often than not as it is a car that is worth more to me then the couple thousand I’d ge selling it. It’s a spare. However a year back when I purchased a new vehicle I simply forgot to renew the tags on the VW.
Fast forward to 2 months back. Manish drives the car to an appointment and gets pulled over for expired tags. They give Manish a ticket of which he passes to me to stand in for him at court. I arrived at 6pm. I was home at 10pm. Thankfully I had my new Kindle with me. The excruciating pain of waiting in line had been turned into a wonderful journey with Chris Anderson’s ”Free”. So I was able to crunch an incredible amount of info and not let the city of Germantown’s inefficiencies waste the precious minutes of my life.
I could have just had the book you might add…true, but only sort of. About once an hour I’d take a short break and read blogs that I had subscribed to or bounce over to a PDF market study that I’ve been reading on the Manhattan rental market. This would have taken many more atoms than my arms could have held.
I won’t bore you with the details of the outcome of the court issues but let’s just say that they wasted a lot of people’s time…but not mine. Cheers Amazon! Everything about the Kindle is right.
