Enough Already
Here we go again folks. Yesterday I walked into the breakroom and there sits the catalog with obligatory note "help me raise funds for my school and win the 'limo to lunch' prize." School started last Monday for fuck's sake. Then I go home only to discover that my son had been tapped by the "crappy Christmas wrap" fairie. He is only 5 years old. What the fuck. You all know how I feel about this shit (please review numerous ranting posts about the sale of girl scout cookies in my office). My 5 year old child will not be going door to door to sell this crap and they fucking know it -- they know that all this does is force parents of school-aged children to tote these catalogs into their offices and bug the hell out of their co-workers to buy some useless crap. This sucks ass. Despite my very vocal protestations, my HR guy refuses to ban this type of activity from the office. My idiot husband was proud to have discovered that you can e-mail the catalog and announced that he would send it to all of his relatives. Naturally I freaked out -- I don't know these people but it would be a total embarrassment nonetheless. Long story short, I ripped the catalog from his hands, quickly scanned the instructions for what I was looking for and wrote the $40 blackmail check that allows you to "opt out" and still meet your "voluntary commitment." Fuckers.
