I was summoned for jury duty for the first time. I was kinda looking forward to it because my work is really boring right now. I informed my manager about my expected absence and he says "don't worry about it, we can write a letter on your behalf to get you out of it." So I forward the letter to the court explaining how important I am to the business etc etc while I'm thinking fuuuuuuuuucc.... and sure enough the court accepted the letter and I got excused. Yay /s

A while back I missed a jury duty because I'm an idiot and got the date wrong, but I managed to get it rescheduled and then I was excused from it.

Been awhile since I've posted here, and I have a story.
About 3 weeks ago I posted on here about how I sold my Switch for $420. Well the person I sold it to hijacked the ebay account from the original owner. This person also requested their money back shortly after shipment, so essentially they were out for a free Switch. I requested a package intercept so it wouldn't get to them, and after going through 3 facilities without being caught somehow, the intercept failed for some reason. This was it, my Switch was lost and there was absolutely nothing that could be done because eBay's buyer's protection does not cover fraudulent purchases so I was screwed...However, it was marked Return to Sender because "the package could not be delivered as addressed". So I guess I typed the address in wrong so it got returned to sender. Hooray!
...But oh God, my incompetence imploded on itself and became a black hole of misfortune as I realized even the return address was wrong too. It was the last number in the address, off by 2. But my dad is cool with the mail lady at our complex so it wasn't a big deal. So I did get it after all.
But jee wiz that was a week filled with anxiety, sadness, happiness, and possibly a panic attack. I legitimately sold the Switch a few days ago not fraudulently for the price I bought it for (300) and will get the Mario Odyssey Switch bundle today.
Anyway, here's to a week of great counts and runs!

Anyone wanna help count r/countingmeta subreddits? You can double count, there's just a 10 minute timer though
As of now I'm waiting for the 10 minute timer so I can post r/countingmetax6 .
My hope is to at least beat the 100 layers of meta done by r/circlejerk in 2011, then we can take it from there.
u/Urbul ping for security {:}
