I picked a hell of a time to quit drinking

The last day of my media ethics class in college, the instructor gave everyone a quarter and said it was the start of our go-to-hell fund. “Make sure you save money, because someday you may have a boss who tries to make you do something unethical. Tell them to go to hell.”

Yeah just to get to the new shipping portal I found it easiest to Google for the link, since none of the buttons in the PayPal UI work.

Shipping in PayPal is such a mess now, I moved over to PirateShip a while back. You can still pay for labels with PayPal and the interface is a lot more streamlined.
