laughing straight to the bank with this

Last week a man came into Macs.
What a vague starting. Not to mention, it isn't a complete sentence. I kind of like the um... mystery of it though?
Anyway back to my point. Working at Macs, you have those few customers that like to come in and talk and talk and talk. I really don't mind it because I usually work a 8-9 hour shift alone, so company is a good thing. What I do mind though are the customers that love to talk a lot and come in at 11:30, when all I really want to do is get out off there. Which in the case of this man, he came in pretty late as usual.
He starts talking to me about college and since I really don't like talking about it, the conversation didn't last long at all.So he moves on and asked me about my brother and what he wants to do after high school blah blah blah. I said something probably in business or computers because ever since Tyler knew what a computer was he wanted to be Bill Gates' son. He totally held it against my dad for like 5 years that he didn't have children with Bill Gates wife, which really makes no sense if I think about it now. Bill Gates' wife didn't make him famous so I don't know what my dad having children with her would do? Maybe in the mind of a seven year old it makes sense.
I'm so all over the place today. The point is, this man asked me what Tyler was going to school for and asked me if Tyler was saving up money for university. Tyler is in grade 12 this year and is going back for a 5th year I think. So really, why would he start saving already. I honestly just glared at the man. I didn't even start saving for school until the summer and I'm barely saving now, even though I'm going in t-minus two weeks?
It just makes me panic. I don't know if I will have enough money, I probably won't. And to top it all off, I bought a camera, a cell phone and a laptop forever ago so I wouldn't have to buy those three items now. But my laptop is missing the A, H and Up key and is a piece of crap, my camera got wet in my bag and now doesn't work and I just bought a new cellphone because I needed a better plan. And I don't even own a printer! On the bright side, I have a toaster, so I can make toast?
4 months from now when I have nothing and no money, I can still make toast and I'll be happy. Well, if I have bread?
