Killing trees for nothing

Saturday, December the 17th, 2005

Every week, I get a letter from my cellphone service provider—T-Mobile—to upgrade my service (for free) from its current 600 or so “whenever” minutes per month to a whopping THOUSAND. Every time, I trash the envelope half-way through opening it.

Did you know I used a grand total of FOURTEEN minutes last month? And less on average every other month prior? And that 14 included 12 minutes of waiting on line to speak to a Comcast (my cable provider) service lady to argue a bill?

Sigh, I really need some friends.

One of my goals for next year is to overshoot my monthly allotted minutes, and pay huge overage charges, at least once.
