I wouldn't buy the Olympian if it were the last newspaper on earth.

So, I have had a bit of a rough week. I am exhausted. It's Saturday and I just want to sleep. The kids got up earlier than normal, so I let them watch some tv in my room so I can lie in bed a bit longer. I also haven't heard back from Matthew and I am anxious to hear from him. The phone rings at 8:20, so I jump up to answer it. It is the Olympian newspaper. I can't tell you how many times they have called asking if I want to subscribe. I was nice, the first three times. Then they started calling me at 9:20 at night while I was putting my kids to bed. They are flat out harassing me. Each time I tell them I am on the national do not call list and to remove my number. Does this do any good? NO. The have called 5 other times this week and I just didn't answer. Why do people feel the need to bully me? Do they think this will make me want to subscribe? Did I change my mind from yesterday about millions of pounds of paper waste that many people don't recycle? Why would I want a subscription to a newspaper at all? I don't really care about the poorly written local news and I can find everything I want on the internet. WHY CAN'T PEOPLE LEAVE ME ALONE?????
