Ah, Futility!
Posted on | April 6, 2006 | 4 Comments
So I’m only going to be working at my current job as a librarian for another 4 weeks. Today one of the reference librarians at the desk detected evidence that an instructor for the program I’m responsible for has unleashed students on the library with a poorly-designed library scavenger hunt. It seems like a rather ironic way to close the instruction librarian chapter of my career.
Also, even though I went to the web site and unsubscribed (after never subscribing in the first place) Ladies’ Home Journal showed up at my house again. Now I really do think that there is a sinister marital industrial complex.

Fill out a change of address form for the publisher and have it go somewhere else. They’ll never know.

Maybe a family member (well meaning or not) has subscribed you. My dad is constantly getting me magazine subscriptions and memberships in organizations. He once signed me up as a member of the National Rifle Association. After a year of thier fund raising efforts, he let it lapse (thank the gods).

Hm, maybe that’s how your subscription originated…. ;D
“Dear Ladies’ Home Journal, I regret to inform you that you’ve been spelling my name wrong all this time. It’s spelt T-A-N-G-O-G-N-A-T. You’ve also got my adress wrong…”

Well, I’m not sure if anyone in my family would be so mean as to sign me up for a subscription – I think it has something to do with me having a subscription to budget living (which has folded), maybe they are sending me that instead?
I think I’m going to figure out the address for the corporate office of Ladies’ Home Journal and send the subscription to that magazine right back to them!
