Today is not the Monday I ordered. In fact, it is so far off that I suspect that I have entered a completely different day from someone else's life, or perhaps a poorly delivered Monday. There is ample evidence that there has been a mistake of some sort:
- It is below zero here in "Chicago." In the Chicago were I normally live, we have plenty of foul and changing weather, but not air temperatures of -7 degrees F.
- I am nearly done with my "work day" and no one has refused my requests, made unreasonable demands, or dismissed things that I say. In fact, I am being asked for advice. Furthermore, no one is yelling. In fact, very few people seem to be here.
- I can see the top of the desk behind which I am sitting.
- Today is clearly not the beginning of a marathon that will end on Friday night. I seem to have few commitments, and am getting hints that the rest of the week will allow me to work only 40 hours this week.
- Each time I get up to move around, I experience something that feels like the fuzzy, swirly scene transitions used in sitcoms.
All of these things lead me to believe that this is not a Monday from my life, but instead a half-delivered or defective Monday. It seems that you got the general idea right, but several of the details wrong. I do not wish to cancel my subscription, which is only 1/3 used up. However, I am asking that you employ more effective quality control prior to releasing your product.
Sincerely,
A Confused Customer

Let me know if you get put through toll-free number hell where the automated voice asks you to actually speak to it. I'm sorry, I just can't do it. I'll hit "0" til my finger falls off but I AM NOT talking to an automated computer voice that says "I'm sorry, I didn't understand that. Please say what your problem is. You can say 'Billing' or 'Please kiss my butt.' "
Also I like the progress on the sweater (that I thought you hated). Good work soldier!
