221 sales tax, California? eff you. I’ll ship my new Macbook Pro to Texas and pick it up next month when I pass through there anyway.
UPDATE: Tex fails too. i updated the address and it went down from $221 to $216. really gov’na? 5 whole dollars? you’re too kind… NEW PROBLEM: my total purchase including the Uncle Sam raping is $2,845.84. my current credit limit on my business credit card is $2,838. I am now on the phone with Visa trying to get clearance for this purchase, on hold listening to “put on a happy face” and contemplating the fact that even if I had it shipped to Texas to save that $5, I would still be $2 short to make this purchase.
Extra FML: I’m going through all the frivolous business purchases I made on this card that put me in this situation and forced to ask myself if each was worth it. They include a ebay items and domains such as whorepie.com (how could i resist not snatching that up? the origin was this girl mixing up/combining “shut your whore mouth” with “shut your pie hole” and saying “shut your whore pie” – this could be the next big thing. i had no choice. i have no regrets).
Late Breaking FML: right as I get off the phone with approval to make this purchase (20 minutes negotiating $5), I am about to pull the trigger and I get an IM from a business partner asking if I bought yet and if not, to not use that card… im now using a different card, making the last half hour a total waste.
UPDATE: my new Macbook left Shanhai thurseday morning and arrived in Anchorage Alaska by yesterday afternoon. omg u guyz, do you think itll come today? nahhh, its cant rite??? lolomg (im doing that thing where the bottom half of your eye lids are closed but not the top)
