I feel a lot of pressure every time I open my e-mail. I try to never give out my address but it's very hard nowadays. If you want to use certain apps or visit certain websites, you HAVE to give them your e-mail address.
Since I post these through Blogger, I have to sign in to my Gmail account which is why I was reminded of this nightmare which will now become the topic.
In the last three minutes, which are still within my first ten minutes of waking up....(Yes, I write these almost immediately after waking up. It's called "Worthless Cathartic Writings" but that doesn't mean I don't serve them fresh,) I've come to realize that I have:
A "credit card statement ready" - Why do they word it like that? They make it seem as if they are JUST NOW ready to take my money and no sooner. Mind you, I pay it every two weeks, well more than the minimum and always early. I know I owe you the money. At no point did I think it was just free money. I'm 34 and I've had this, my first credit card, for about 3 months now. If I was under the impression that this was free money, I'd have had 30 of them fifteen years ago. I'd have used my free money to buy a credit card company and I'd be sending YOU a bill, Capital One. Relax.
Some shit from Turbotax - Dude, fucking stop. I file my taxes once a year. There is no need for any other correspondence. Single, Zero Kids, I don't own anything nor do I run a business. No services you have other than "tell me how much I overpaid for working in America" are applicable to me. Taxing my fucking inbox smdh
"35 RECOMMENDED HOMES FOR YOU" - Hi, what's your name again? Zillow? Oh yeah, we met a few weeks ago when I was toying around with the idea of SOMEDAY buying a house. I remember specifying a geographical location in your search bar and NOTHING ELSE. How is it that you think THIRTY-FIVE different houses all fall under the blanket of me wanting to live in them? Three of the houses are literally unlivable and four others are not even for sale!
I want a house someday, I think. I don't know though, renting is kinda nice.
"Hey, here's money. I'm gonna live here and you just gotta make sure all the stuff works always. Also, the grass is looking a little tall in the back. *winks* I'll have your money for you a week early every month, no need to prepare a statement like those assholes at Mastercard. Thanks."
I do want a house though, hence the searching on Zillow but I'm very picky. It needs to be in the middle of the woods. I don't mean like "lots of trees in a quiet neighborhood," I mean like NO NEIGHBORHOOD. Just a house surrounded by trees. That's what "middle" means. There's a house in the center and no visibility through the trees on any side of it. None of those old ass broken trees either. I don't need them falling on my shit and fucking up my brand new roof (every house for sale has a new roof).
I'd give my address to very few people. I don't want politicians at my doorstep with their parade of bullshit pamphlets. Just a couple of friends and on the off-chance that there is a business that delivers food out to my home in the middle of the woods, they too can have my address. My e-mail address is already ruined but I have to draw the line somewhere.
Ok that's enough for today. I have to go a write a rent check, pay my credit card bill and.....OH! Would you look at that! AIRBNB WANTS ME TO GO ON ANOTHER VACATION AND THEY HAVE COMPILED SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR ME!
You picky? I can't even imagine that. (side note) Holy crap you get up early.
