A New Post

After a much needed hiatus, I have returned to my blog, only to abandon it again six months from now -- just a heads up. So what's new in my life you ask? Uh...wait...I know this one...uh...uh...I got nothing. A week or two ago I spent about a day working out; trying to get rid of this parking meter of a body, but to no avail. I continue to eat and drink enough for 10 men, but nothin. Oh well.

But you know what really grinds my gears? My subscription to the Post ran out this week. At first I just thought someone was stealing my paper, it's happened before, but after a few days of not seeing it on my doorstep, or at the bottom of the stairwell at the back of my apartment building -- which I can only assume is where the driver leaves it when he's drunk -- I realized I'd been cut off.

So why didn't I renew my subscription you ask? Oh, but I did -- two weeks ago. I had to call the contact rep. for my neighborhood to find out what the fuck was wrong. He asked for my address. As soon as I told him my apartment number I could immediately hear his tone change to indicate that my account on the computer screen was flashing "did not tip delivery man for Christmas." Maybe that's why my paper occasionally ends up in the stairwell, all askew. Whatever, I need that ten dollars!

Anyway, he said they were backlogged in processing subscription renewals. What is this, the passport office? How time consuming is it to punch in some credit card numbers? Hell, it only took me 5 seconds when I did it myself on the Post's Web site. But much like my day of working out, it was apparently a waste of time.
