Growth factor

Canceling any services one subscribes to is often a painful and tedious process that usually ends in anger. Why must this be? Twenty minutes later after endless invasive questions, I finally had to say, "it's always so difficult to cancel, this is really annoying..." to which I was met with an angry sigh and this response, "I'm just trying to make sure you're aware of your options." This of course pissed me off because I get tired of feeling like I have to fight to get rid of things I'm paying for... "I'm aware of my options, clearly I'm an experienced consumer, cancel the service now." And with one final huff the service was canceled. Why must I always have to be an asshole to get my way.... this does not seem like a great tactic to keep anyone interested in the services you are providing. What if I had been interested in renewing my services in the future? I know that this has been a sales strategy forever but it's nasty and predatory and I remember that AOL used to be the king of this tactic.... So fuck you Verizon and any other companies that use this strategy to maintain business. With that said, I am sure it will be the same the with any other services I try to cancel but if everyone would express their frustration when put in that position, perhaps they would knock it off....

I'm growing my hair. Some of you know this. What was interesting is that I shaved everything except my head for halloween... what a brutal and ridiculous activity. I feel for women and the social pressure to shave. So until I move to new york, I'm bucking the social pressure to shave and cut (except for nose hairs, those tickle too much).... love me for my natural tendency to grow
hair on my face or catch me in August =P

Peace love- Aa
