It's a write-off

progLast night I signed, scanned and emailed a sweet work contract with a new client. This is the... fifth? client I have had in my on-and-off writing-and-programming freelance career but oddly enough it is first time I thought of them as a client. I am multiclassed, and I just leveled up in something.
Just now I ordered a refurbished MacBook, going ahead and spending the price of a new lowest-end to get a refurb middle model. And then dropping another $30 for next-day shipping.
Coz, y'know: write-off.
(OK, I'll only claim it at 50% business-use, but still.)
Edit Oh, bullshit: overnight shipping means that it'll ship overnight once they get it out the door. Which will take a week. Rrr, I wouldn't have spent the money had I known that. Maybe I can call on Monday and get em to switch me to standard ground.
Edit Whoah, I just got an email saying that it was shipped, several days in advance of the time window from the first email. I'll take it.
