Paying My Dues... Sort Of.


Thursday was bill paying day. All of my bills except for my co-op are due on the 15th of the month. What this means is that, usually around the 10th, I spend the day attempting to pay the bills.

I say attempting because after paying everything but my cable bill, I type the cable company's site into my browser, log in and then it happens. The cable company's web page bombards me with every news story that could ever peak my interest. So now my man brain says, “Pay bill!”, my ape brain says, “Cool reporter attacked by Cicadas, CLICK!”

After watching a hilarious video of a reporter swatting at cicadas while one has already landed on her face, It's back to paying my bill.
Oh no, Christopher Lee died, he rocked, CLICK!
Back to paying my bill.
Dusty Rhodes died, that's my youth, CLICK! Search for Pictures of Young Dusty, CLICK!
Back to paying my bill.
Bill Clinton Will Not Do Paid Speeches if Hillary is Elected. If he'll shut his lying hole (I mean his mouth, not Hilary's), I'll vote for Hilary, CLICK! Let down, he just means he'll do speeches for free to get away from Hilary.
Back to paying my bill.
Apple Workers to CEO, “Stop embarrassing us!”, CLICK! Really, your work carries tiny, super expensive devices and checks your bags on the way in and out.  They call them geniuses? Fire them all Cook!
'The Best Laptop You Can Buy.” article link on the bottom of the page, CLICK! Really, 'The Verge', the MacBook Air without touchscreen, with no tablet capability, lower screen resolution, no WIDI, and a price tag more than twice of it's competitors (based on similar specs) beats out a Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro? Oh wait is that an Apple ad on your site or do they just pay your stupid writers directly?
Back to paying my bill.
Oh no!  Entertainment news! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK!

So, 513 links, 4 hours and 2 cups of coffee later, all bills are successfully paid.
