Another Random Rant on Older People and CD Burning

Weblogs, Work

So I was working on Tuesday night, and I’m helping a customer on the phone to get some hymns on CD. She was looking for three in particular. Bye Sweet Bye, Amazing Grace, and one other (my mind isn’t fully working right now…). Anyways, I was able to find 2 out of three (strangely it was Bye Sweet Bye and the other song, and NOT Amazing Grace…go figure). Anyways, they were on two different CDs, she asked if we could burn just those two songs for her onto one CD. I’m like…uhhh no. She said she just needed those three songs to play for her father’s funeral (songs he requested to be played at it). I was like, hrm, that would be a neat idea to pick what songs you wanted, burn it onto a CD, and then pay for it.

*** FLASHBACK ***

This was being done at one point. WAAAAY back in High School was when the Flagship Old Navy first opened. In the basement was the “hip” new clothes, that was being braned by Old Navy as being “cool.” (In reality, this clothes sucked, it looked lame and everything). Anyways, I went down there soon after the grand opening of the new store, and in the basement along with all these “interesting” new clothes, was a DJ deck place where you could listen to music. You could also select what songs you wanted on a CD, and they would make it right there for ya. I’m not sure how long this took, but thinking back to then…they must have only had at most a double speed CDR. So it would take I guess atleast 30 minutes to make the cd. Crazy….

*** END OF FLASHBACK ***

Erm, that was weird. =P Oh look I got a message on my phone, later.
