I am what in this new age is referred to as an “information junkie.”
It’s truly an addiction, whether it comes from the Internet, newspapers or magazines, I’m constantly sucking up little tidbits of info. Books upon books have been written about “managing information overload,” but me? I not only welcome, I embrace the overload!
To make sure I have a constantly fix, I’ve set up a steady network of dealers to feed my addiction in the form of newspaper and magazine subscriptions. For some reason, however, they’re all bugging me to renew at the same time. NOW I feel the overload…I mean really, I’ve got a least six months before my Maclean’s subscription runs out and yet they’re bombarding my mailbox reminding me to renew…my cellphone goes off and it’s some dude in a call centre bugging for payment info to keep the newspapers coming even though I’m pretty sure I’ve paid them up for some time, as well…
Seriously guys, I appreciate the media, I really do…but leave me alone! And don’t try to early-bird discount on me, it’s not like any of you are going to risk lost business by doubling the price if I wait until the last minute.
