it’s unix, not eunuchs

I RMAed my mini-ipod this Saturday. I get an email on Monday that was a bit confusing. It explained that the RMA had been approved and that I didn’t owe them any shipping. That’s in direct contrast to the $30 in shipping that the web page demanded when I entered the RMA. Plus it didn’t explain if they were shipping a box to me or if I had to package it myself. I decided to just sit back and wait.

Tuesday morning I head out for breakfast(I think.) Anyhow, I was heading out and notice a package on my porch. No one had rung the doorbell and instead of sticking the small package inside the screen door it was instead at the lip of the porch. I’m given the impression that DHL didn’t even ring the doorbell. This is my first experience with DHL so I won’t become jaded but it was a bit odd. So I open up the box and package the mini-ipod. But the instructions aren’t clear and the packing material they included was really poorly thought out. Not wanting to void the RMA I used it and dropped it off at the DHL location. Hopefully I’ll get a functioning device soon.

I’m on-call again. Hard to believe it’s already been 4 months. The laptop is acting a little shady so I hope I don’t have issues that make me work from the office all week. Chilli asked me over to his mom’s for Thanksgiving. I’ll be there, with laptop packed in the car in case I get a call.

Other than that not much going on around here. I’m catching up on the Tivo and drinking lots of tea. Would you believe Netflix sent me two Rocky DVDs and they were both cracked? What are the odds?
