this really eats me up

J posted some comments, quite elegantly, about the annual BIG NATIONAL CHAIRITY that our company holds each year. And each year, the drive seems to get longer and longer. it's like middle school, just when you think summer has just started and you've escaped school for a while, it's august again and time to go back. well, this charity is the same way. we are going to be bombarded with annoying emails and flyers and posters on every wall, in every elevator and over every urinal. it really annoys the shit outta me. i give to my own charities every year and choose not to give to this one, but it doesn't keep them from hammering my inbox with crap (and they wonder why we always hit our size limit so quickly).

so every year, there's something new done to try and sucker us outta our hard earned money. today, some woman with a huge cart, a stack of flyers and a case of CANDY BARS rolled up and down the isles and gave one to each of us. it's probably a good thing that i was on a conference call at the time, cause i wanted to tell her to keep her stinkin' candy bar and leave me the hell alone. again, probably good i was on the call, cause i don't want to come off as a real asshole (even if i am). how do we avoid this barrage? we don't. we complain, we're the bad guys.

thpppppttttttt!!!!!!
