I had a big list of things to order that my boss handed to me this morning. He had given the green light to the accounting department to pay for all of it. I knew that pretty much everything could be ordered online but my boss wanted to support the local businesses, so I had to drive around all afternoon trying to find the things on the list.

Ninety percent of the list consisted of used cisco parts. I wondered why we were buying used, when I knew that we could afford to buy new parts. The first two cisco repair shops that I visited did not have anything on my list. I was pretty upset with them and asked them how they stayed in business if they did not have what the customers needed.

I then found three other cisco repair shops that helped me to cross off four things from the list. I decided to head back to the office and complete the rest of the buying of used cisco parts online. I thought that what the boss did not know would not hurt him. I found everything I needed on the first site I found and it will all be in tomorrow.
