I had been saving for this PC for a very long time, like a very long time because social assistance be what it do. When I saw the listing on the buy and sells it was the first honest price I had seen in nearly two months. I asked the guy if he could hold it because EOM is social assistance and I'd need to swing some of that into the money I had saved up this was exactly what I needed for school. He said not a problem but I felt like a cock because holds suck and people bail all the time.  I'm uneducated and a few years shy of fourty so finally attending post-secondary is my driver because I can't rely on physical work any longer. (Edit: dropped a line) I had to get it and I didn't want the guy to change his mind on the holding it for me, not that I would fault him given FB marketplace people.

So my old ass did the thing and called the Bank of Mom to loan out until EOM. This guy shows up with the computer in its HAF case, one of the old beasts I wanted back when NCIX was around (Ask Linus he used to live in one). The guy was fun to talk to while we waited for the etransfer to go through and then I had my PC. This was a big day for me because I've been teaching myself 3D and everything else under the sun so I can succeed in my 3 year interactive media design program, then it's off to four years of university for mechanical engineering. I'm a grade 10 drop-out with a disability so yeah, I need the leg up. You can imagine how shit this has been on that paperweight of a video card. So yeah I was super distracted when he handed me a bag and said there was a power cable and a keyboard in it because he didn't know if I had one.

I put the bag to the side and since then I've been using my thrift store keyboard and mouse, you don't know how much you use scrollwheels until they're gone. Tonight I go to disassemble my old PC so I can clean and scrub the parts clean before storing them and I figure I might as well add the power cable and such from the bag to the storage tote.

Inside the bag I pulled out the box and I was pretty impressed somebody kept the box to store their old keyboard but then I realized it was new.

That fuckin guy gave me a new Rosewill keyboard with RGB tron lights and loud awesome feeling keys and a new corsair mouse that's busy changing colours on me. It looks like a M65 from what I can tell.

Like, good shit does **not** happen to me, period. It's become a running gag in my life to wonder what goes wrong next so for this to break that chain in the most unexpected way possible is something I gotta put out there. I apologize for the long story but I don't really have anybody else to tell and I feel like if I don't then I won't have shown the appreciation this deserves.

# tl;dr A bro snuck some new PC peripherals into a bag he included with the PC I bought.
