Well, today is the last day of Christmas shopping and it looks like I will have to make one last trip to the mall in an attempt to hunt down some items. At the same time I will be trying to donate my knowledge to help some family members choose gifts that require some technical knowledge.

And I thought I was going to be able to avoid the fury of the last minute shopping crowd. It sure won’t help the fact a lot of companies actually release their boxing day sales starting today too in order to draw in all that last minute crowd. As long as I don’t lose my head and arms in the process I’ll still be able to blog at least.

Today I heard a situation where a person really needed help for a certain type of work that could have been done by herself. However, she procrastinated in doing it and since there was a tight deadline she decided to get a professional to help her out.

Of course, companies usually charge a premium for work that requires expedited services and the bill was definitely pretty hefty. I think during the Christmas season a lot of people tend to spend more too in a similar fashion as they just buy anything as long as the price is right.

I remember one time I needed to buy a cable for my camcorder as I found out that I forgot to pack it. While normally I could get them for say two dollars, since I needed it I paid an enormous price of about $35 for one as it was the only place within the area that sold it. Last minute shopping can definitely have its costs.
