March Madness. Not the fact that they have a college basketball tournament. People like to play basketball and other people like to watch them do it. Good for them, I guess. What annoys me is the people asking me to place bets in their office pool.
Like I give a fsck. Or like I want any of my money riding on contests I wouldn't otherwise have any interest in following, and frankly wouldn't even if I DID have a bet in the pool. Sports is entertainment that you either appreciate because of what it is or don't. Betting on it? Dumb as fuck.
You might as well bet on the fifth word in the lyric of the next hit song Taylor Swift releases.

The laptop saga continues.
Shipped the laptop back to the refurbisher who took three days to unpack it, but eventually confirmed that it was dead as a doornail. They did not have an equivalent replacement and the one they offered was not acceptable to me since it was a downgrade in some aspects. So I requested a refund, and a after some back and forth (caused be eBay closing the refund window after three months) they agreed to refund me via my bank account. I sent in my invoice (mainly to show the actual price paid after vouchers) and all other details, and waited a few more days for the refund.
Which arrived, but fell short. The original item price was $799 (Australian). After some eBay vouchers, I paid $663. The refund I received was $584. In addition I'm out $30 in shipping costs.
I called them and asked about it. The person I spoke to said they were 'not sure' what happened, and that someone from accounts would get back to me via eBay.
I am 'not sure' if this is a good or a bad sign.

Sometimes the company needs someone who can do sentences.
So was it the recipient who said it was too long? Sorry, old man is confused easily.
