We flip houses and usually move about once a year. So once a year, the cable company gets to find a new way to fuck me. We are signing the papers today to sell our current home; so i am sure that someone down at the cable office is just sitting there scheming a new way to get under my skin. Additionally, my mail lady leaves me hate mail (regarding complaints about my mailbox) on slips that resemble the type of slip one might get if they got sent to the principal's office in grade school. She is a joykill. <em>amanda's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/shamelesslysassy/oRdr/~3/241807461/' rel="nofollow">Grooming for the Privates Doctor</a></em> I hate cable companies.

Only add 1 kid for me. And honestly, mail is the high point of my day. If I couldn't just check it at my door every day, I'd be heartbroken. I say you find the most hideous mailbox you can, put it at your curb, and tell the neighbors that it's just a stop-gap measure until your real mailbox gets there. If they complain, maintain that it's their fault. Deny knowledge of a home owners association. <em>Stimey's last blog post..<a href='http://stimeyland.blogspot.com/2008/02/why-mommy-needs-cocktail.html' rel="nofollow">Why Mommy Needs a Cocktail:</a></em> Yeah, I agree with you about the post office.
