Billion Is Disappointing

I play a computer game that keeps score in dollars. I’ve been playing it for several years because it is a diversion from the daily routine. Sometimes, I play for an hour, or 15 minutes, or not at all. A few days ago, I realized that I was near 1 billion points. This was important because the display only had room for nine digits, meaning that I could go to 999,999,999 and then it would have to roll over, or crash or something.  I played the dang thing for an hour per day for about a week.  Guess what? It didn’t do anything. It just added another spot.

Now I have to go to 999,999,999,999 to see what happens.

I’m beginning to hate the game.
