Fuck a DUCK.

Mailed Kindle Fire HDX mkII back to Amazon today for an 80% refund, that
being their idea of how to make me a happy customer. Can't find the Kindle
Fire HD already in my possession, though it doesn't necessarily work at all
anyway. Did find the Kindle Fire I won four or five years ago.

Planned obsolescence SUCKS DONKEY BALLS.

It is slow. It is cranky. It has very little storage. It is incompatible
with half my apps and all my graphic novels. It won't switch tasks while
music is playing without hiccuping the music. Its browser won't run
whatever script the DW beta entry page requires of it!

Very. Annoyed. Bear.

(Though it does read the rest of my ebooks without that Invalid Item
message. So there's that.)

Brain: Restructure this stalled project! That will un-stall it!

Me: Hey Coauthor...

Coauthor: I don't think that will work.

Brain: *carries on with plans to restructure project*

Me: Brain, can you at least do this when it's not work hours?

Brain: *carries on with restructuring during work hours*

Me: Will you cooperate with getting words on the page tonight after work,
at least?

Brain: UNLIKELY

Me: *seethe*
