Peter Ding Fries Are Done Funny Jokes at JibJab

i am looking forward to a relaxing stress free xmas. no cooking a large meal for everyone, no worrying about gifts (even though i did buy people gifts this year), nothing to do but hang out with johnny, the dogs and my playstation. ahhhhhh.....

i just have to add... the bitchy dork in me likes to occasionally write letters to corporate companies about a particular issue that is either bugging me or that i feel should be encouraged. i have written to Marta, Costco, several online shopping sites and of course politicians. today i wrote a letter to varsity and i thought i would share this little note with you guys...

In case you haven't heard, Georgia is experiencing an exceptional drought. Everyone is concerned about water usage and restrictions and penalties are being upheld throught the community. Everyday people are trying to do their part to waste less water by letting their lawns die, not running water, flushing less, showering for less time, etc. What continues to amaze me is how companies seem to think they are exempt from the effort to conserve water. Every morning, I walk past the Varsity restaurant on North Avenue on my way to work. In the past 3 months I have seen someone pressure washing the parking lot on at least 3 seperate occasions. Is it absolutely vital to pressure wash your parking lot that often? I would imagine that the amount of Varsity trash I see accumulating around the restaurants is a much worse blight upon the landscape than a few stains on the asphalt of the parking lot. I would greatly appreciate it if the Varsity would participate in the water conserving efforts of the citizens of Atlanta.
Thank you.

aren't i a sassy one? the more i read it the more it makes me laugh at myself. but i hope they take it seriously.

this is cute - i have a whoville name - Heckling Heather Ockeroo-Who from grinched.com i guess that name fits....

update:
OMG...
it never ceases to amaze me when.... i get responses to my emails. i don't know why but it makes me very appreciative that somebody out there cares enough to respond.
I just got off the phone with the general manager of Varsity restaurants who called my cellphone to speak to me about the pressure washing that his restaurant does. he explained it very courteously that the reason why they pressure wash is for public health and safety, and because they are mandated to do so in an effort to reduce the spread of food born diseases and sickness. makes perfect sense. i thanked him for calling me and explaining that. he said he hated having to do it because he is very concerned about the drought and hopes that we will come out of it soon.

what a nice man. i might have to try some of the food over there, i've never eaten at varsity before. hahaha.... omg i am evil.
