It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!
Hitting the "refresh" button on your email is like trick-or-treating in a bad neighborhood.
I'm dressed up in my Halloween finery, ringing the doorbell in Yahoo! a dozen times a day, and every "refresh" leaves me with that same thunk in the bottom of the bag. With every email that isn't the one I really want, I peer inside my bag and say resignedly,
"I got a rock." (I even say that. Out loud.)
After awhile, I know, I'll quit looking for Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Zagnut bars, but right now it's a little bit of a bummer to open the bag and see nothing but homemade popcorn balls wrapped in cellophane mixed in with lumps of slag.
I'm going back to buying my own damned Peanut Butter Cups.
And no, I won't share.
Go get your own.
