Yes, I know this is a day late. And?
I seem to be on a roll of run-ins with large corporations; and I’m just not having it.
So guess what all my posts this week will be about?
But before we start in on the people I had to actually telephone (and you know how uncomfortable I am about phone calls, so there’s that), let’s look at something that arrived in my inbox today from See’s Candies.
“Last Chance: Pre-Order Advent Calendar”
Um, what?
It’s July.
Why the fuck do I need to be pre-ordering an advent calendar in July?
Don’t get me wrong. See’s is the purveyor of the most delicious chocolates ever. (And you know this fat old lady knows her way around a box of chocolates.)
I thought I loved all things See’s Candies.
However, I DO NOT LOVE being threatened that I am about to lose my chance to order a fucking advent calendar in fucking July.
Back the fuck off Sees.
(I told you I’m in a mood.)
Thoughts from a Fat Old Lady 
Let’s hear it for dogging a mega-corp or two; whichever one you pick no doubt deserves any
rocks you throw at it. As for Sees, well…Advent calendars in JULY? Talk about over-selling,
never mind that it’s the world’s best chocolate.
Am looking forward to seeing what you have to say – I so enjoy a good rant from an eloquent
source. And by the way, how are the feet? Hoping things are better (see – NO puns!)
My foot is much better, although still a little tender. I’m thinking it was cellulitis and the antibiotics fixed it. But it was only a 7 day course, so I’m a little concerned it didn’t fully do the job – so I’m keeping a close eye on it (staying on my toes, as it were).
Brava! On your toes it is! It may well be necessary to step it up with another course of the
antibiotic…..PLEASE stop me before I pun again!
