As in credit refund, in this case.

And maybe you know I think Google is evil.  They’ll be the next Microsoft — mark my words.  You MS lovers can uncover your eyes now.  Yeah, I know you’re out there and I don’t get it.

Anyway, I tried Google Checkout not too long ago.  I don’t even know why.  Actually, I think it has something to do with my boss having a bad experience with it, and my wanting to say, “see you’re just a big doofus and that’s why you couldn’t use Google Checkout.”

Well anyway, I bought these bicycle hoists.  I bought three of them.  What was I thinking?  Well, we’ve got three bikes and I guess I was thinking I’d install these three hoists and then we’d have all three bikes dangling from the rafters of the garage.

And then they showed up and I looked up at the rafters and said, “where the fuck am I going to put these things?”  I’m sorry for saying “fuck” but I actually said “fuck” and so I thought I should be true to the details.

So back in the box they went and here I am thinking well great, now I’ve got to spend all kinds of money on shipping these things back and what a hassle and I hate myself and where’s my knife?

And then I realized it had this nice sticker that isn’t free shipping but only $6.50 to ship this big box of heavy things wasn’t too bad.  I just sealed it up and dropped it at my local P.O.

A few days go by and all of a sudden I get this e-mail from Google telling me that my package has entered the system and get this, is en-route!  Huh?  How did they know that?  I guess that’s the benefit of the many bar codes on the label.

And then today I was notified that my credit refund was all processed and stuff.  So yeah, I had this totally excellent experience with Google Checkout and I want everybody to know how truly awesome and not even evil they are.   Today, anyway.
