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.

We feel your pain. Really, we do. Filling your mailbox, well, it's just
another of those liberal plots aimed at driving you...crazier.

You are at risk of losing your Man Card! I cherish the day Newark and
DigiKey shows up.

In fact, I'd be ****ed that Mouser didn't come, too!

An hour after posting this, I looked at the other desk in my office to
see two unopened Mouser catalogues.
