call me crazy

...but am I the only one who hates getting the town news thrown all willy-nilly on my front lawn every week?? I was out raking leaves the other day (a new task for me and yet another one that I can add to my "despised tasks" list) when I found three...yes, three newspapers lying there in a disgusting wet mass of paper and leaves. The protective plastic wrap hardly does it's job in the rain. Now, I know you must be asking yourself - why doesn't she just pick up the God damned paper every week and throw it out? Well, I never use the front door, for one. I park in the driveway and head for the closest door which is on the side of the house. Therefore, I usually never enter the front and always forget about the stupid paper! Why should this be a burden in my life anyway? I don't ask for the paper...I don't want the paper. Please, paperboy, wherever you are, don't bring me a paper anymore!

Hot out there...cold in here

What is the deal with office weather?? No matter what temperature it is outside...it's -5 in the office! Take today for example....a nice brisk 58 outside...but warm in the sun. Walk in the office, take my jacket off and ten minutes later my teeth are chattering and my earmuffs start calling my name! And this doesn't change in the summer when the AC is blaring and my coffee freezes on the spot. I've had to start fires in my garbage can to keep warm. The madness must stop!
BRRRRR
