Decisions you regret (classiccmp related)

<snip> He said that the scrappers had already been called, and that I'd have to beat them there and get the stuff, as he wanted it gone that day. I signed the waiver, and then went to my boss immediately and said I had an urgent issue to tend to, and that I needed the rest of the day off. He said fine, so I rushed home, and started calling friends that had trucks. I didn't have a truck, so I needed to find someone with a full-size pickup that could haul the stuff. My efforts were stymied by the fact that everyone was at work with their truck. I was in a big hurry, so I ended up going to rent a moving type truck from U-Haul. That took what seemed like forever. Once I had the truck, I rushed back to work, drove up to the loading dock...and....there was nothing there. I went inside, and the supervisor said that the scrappers had been there about 1/2 hour prior to me getting there, and took it all. I lost out on a really nice PDP 8/I system, ended up spending $60 on truck rental and gas, and burned most of a day of vacation time all for naught. It was not a good day.
