Now, the real challenge is to prevent yourself from being LISTED in the phone books. Qwest is squeezing 75 cents per month out of me, in addition to a $7 “setup” fee, just so that my name won’t show up.

I fully expect this to be a big waste of money, but I’m crossing my fingers.

Or, in reverse, it could be a horrible practical joke: “Could you send 27 phone books to 1600 NW 82nd St?”

Too bad I can’t have the phone company send you mine!

If you like them, that’s cool. If you don’t, they’re a big smelly waste of paper. (Seriously, what the hell do they soak these things in? It smelled like a combination of formaldehyde and turpentine with a little gasoline mixed in. Yeccch. I don’t think they’ve always smelled this bad.)

Hmm, I actually like the big, fat things. When I was in Ellensburg I was disappointed because the phone book was so small. *shrug* I guess it’s just another way that I’m strange.

I was surprised to have one show up this year after the land line got cancelled.
I should have the book cancelled.
