Just a couple of quick notes. One is I’m moving to France. I spent a bit of time this morning reading some local ‘blogs of folks slammed by the Bank America merger with Fleet and saw the link above. There really is more bullshit than product no matter what you tell yourself in the average office.

I hope the brilliant minds with whom I used to work are truly enjoying their little experiment in the “Peter Principle.”

Meanwhile, I should write a bit on why I currently hate eBay. The short version is — what the fuck is up with the apparently rampant, entitled personality shared by eBayers?

I tried to sell a unicycle, the single stipulation was I was not shipping it anywhere, so only people in the Boston area need bid, thanks. I got better things to do than try to get a unicycle in a box and schlep it to UPS.

Well, sho’nuff I’m inundated with emails from various demanding freakazoids explaining why I needed to make an exception and ship to them. Ahh, fuck you, no, OK?

So I yanked the auction and get some whiny shit from some guy ‘splaining why I was under obligation to sell the damn unicycle, because I said I would, and I wasn’t following eBay policy, yada, yada, yada.

Geez, fuckhead, I emailed the people bidding from North Dakota, Canada and Finland explaining that I wouldn’t ship. I posted in the description this time in bold that I wouldn’t ship, AND I posted that I would be pulling the auction to let people know.

Afterall that, you decide to bid. Because why, exactly? ‘Cause you are special, no doubt.

I don’t really care if you report me to the eBay police, dude, because posting shit on a website doesn’t really mean I am bound to do business with you.
