Month: January 2005

  • I got Celtic Visions and Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 Studio Techniques today in the mail. I shouldn’t have had either for about two weeks. So there ARE still some decent human beings in the world. What a refreshing notion!

  • from bash.org:

    1. Save every Free Credit Card Offer you get, Put it in pile A
    2. Save every Free Coupon You get, put that in pile B
    3. Now open the credit card mail from pile A and find the Business
    Reply Mail Envelope.
    4. Take the coupons from pile B and stuff them in the envelope you hold
    in your hand.
    5. Drop the stuffed to the brim envelopes in your mail and walk away
    whistling.
    I have now received two phone calls from the credit card companies
    telling me that they received a stuffed envelope with coupons rather
    then my application. They informed me that it they are not pleased that
    they footed the bill for the crap I sent them. I reply with “It says
    Business Reply Mail” I’m suggesting coupons to you to ensure that your
    business is more successful. They promptly hang up on me.
    Now, I did this for about a month before it got boring, so I got an
    added idea! I added exactly 33 cents worth of pennies to the envelope
    so they paid EXTRA due to the weight. I got a call informing me about
    the money, I said it was a mistake and I demanded my change back. After
    yelling at the clerk and then to the supervisor they agreed to my
    demands and cut me a check for the money. I hold in my hand at this
    very moment a check from GTE Visa for exactly 33 cents.

  • I am the only me there will ever be.
