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. |

Filling your mailbox, well, it's just another of those liberal plots aimed at driving you...crazier. |

In fact, I'd be ****ed that Mouser didn't come, too! -- Forté Agent 5.00 Build 1171 "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do.
