Good news.

No, I didn't save a bunch of money by switching my insurance to Geico. Though I did get a bunch of money from Geico, but that's another matter entirely.

Going to vote in a little while - I woke up early, feeling all civic, and then conked out again until the doorbell rang. (Did ya know that was the name of a Nero Wolfe novel? With a special guest appearance by J. Edgar Hoover?)

It turned out it was my laptop computer being returned from Dell.

The laptop which burned out its screen backlight nine days ago, which I informed Dell about eight days ago, and which a courier delivered a box to pack it in and another courier took away seven days ago.

Same laptop I'm typing this entry on now.

Yay! Good things happening all over! Whee!

Some good things, anyway. :) I have an appointment with an endocrinologist on Friday, which is somewhat of the scary, but thankfully, J. Edgar Hoover appears nowhere on my schedule.

Knew that. Wolfe leaves him on the porch.

Good to hear the insurance company paid up in spite of their bitchy client. :)

And you got the laptop back from Dell, fixed, within a week? Sweet! (Hey, after all the rampant bitching about Dell's service that came up in my case study class discussion, that's nice to hear.)

Well, seven days after the day I shipped it out, on a non-warranty repair. Maybe I've just had good luck; my prior Dell (which got me through law school and then literally came apart) had a power switch problem, for which I sent in the laptop on a Monday, I think, and got it back that same Friday.

And yeah, the insurance company was better than the client in this case. How weird is that?
