Shiny pretty
Once again my computer did not want to login for telework. It kept telling me that I didn't have an particular extension for Citrix, which had worked several days earlier. After an hour on the phone with the help desk at work, I had to uninstall and reinstall the same version of Citrix Receiver...again.
In a fit of frustration, I ordered a Chromebook. I'm not sure it'll replace my other laptop for most things (like watching DVDs, using Word and Excel, etc.), but it booted right up and after loading the Citrix Receiver app, I was able to log right in to work without a problem.
I find the whole "load all your favorites from your other computer based on Chrome/Google history" to be pretty damn creepy (privacy, who has it? no one using Chrome), but am pretty pleased with the size and speed.

USPS was supposed to deliver a package today. Not delivered. Because apparently "business was closed" at 5:19pm when delivery was attempted. First, this is a residential address, so WTF? Second, if it had been a business, yes, many businesses close at or before 5:19pm on Fridays. Third, regular mail was delivered today; please explain this. Except USPS's customer service is utterly useless, so you can't actually talk to anyone to figure out why it wasn't delivered.
