prior to ¤ subsequently ¤ 2003-01-30 ¤ 8:24 p.m. ¤ i hate you vancouver sun. so every week or so i get a call from the local shit-rag newspapers asking me if i want a subscription, telling me i need a subscription or begging me to get one. every week or so i tell them very sweet and politely to fuck off. they keep talking, saying how its free! (for now) and how could i live without the newspaper?! i've endured this torture for quite a number of years already, i have no idea how to get off their damn list. ANYWAYS, today i get in the mail a pretty little envelope from the shit-rag with a letter enclosed that starts off with "Dear Subscriber,"... so of course i'm all cursing and whatnot in my hallways. as it turns out those fucking cocksmokers have decided to take it upon themselves to "give me the opportunity to discover it for myself". they have decided out of the goodness of their hearts to start sending me the shit for 2 whole weeks. of course they are kind enough to let me know that i can call their office and tell them to go to hell and that "a representative will be happy to assist me". so its not enough that they call me constantly but now they are wasting even more trees by mailing me this crap. i must get off their list. whatever company sold my info is going to have karma pour moulten glass down their throats. ****** 5 minutes later ****** well, in my mail today i also got another letter. this one from canada customs and revenue. usually these scare me but since i was still cranky about the vancouver sun letter i didnt even notice who it was from. anways, they decided to reassess my tax claim from last year and have very nicely deposited another 818.00 into my account. crazy world we live in violated ¤ virgin ¤ communicate ¤ others ¤ the army © 2001 sillybitch
