Default Rant for the day, Effin CATALOGUES

I go to the PO to pick up the company mail. There is a card saying I
have a parcel to get at the window. Great, it's either the IRS, or a
customer is ****ed and sending registered mail or maybe I am being
summoned to be questioned about being on Obama's enemy list. So, I
wait in line for 20 minutes only to be given 3 GOD Damned catalogues
that are too big for the box. This company (Newark Electronics) will
also deliver 3 more copies to my door. There are several other
similar offenders but the worst is probably DigiKey (electronics) who
somehow manages to send my 9 enormous catalogues. These are not small
magazines but are hard cover tomes 3" thick. If I had a wood burning
stove, I could heat my home with all this catalogue crap.
Unfortunately, my city does not have business recycling and taking it
all home is a real pain.
