The Letters

Tonight I came home to an envelope from Consolidated Edison (NYC's electricity supplier). Finally, I thought...here is the rebate check I have been waiting for since July, September is nearly over. Excitedly, I open the envelope to find a letter. Oh great what did I forget to enclose in their million requirements for my lousy $60.00 rebate. Did I miss the deadline? No it was even more simple. The letter stated that I would receive my rebate in 6 to 8 weeks. Um yeah that's what it said on the rebate form. So they sent me a letter to tell me that the check would be in the mail. AWESOME! Next time just stick that check in the darn envelope and save yourself some postage.
Even better was the second letter I received from my car manufacturer. It came in one of those white envelopes with the big red letters stamped across it "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL".  Not that alarming just a recall on the possibility of your steering failing. Like Con Ed, Mazda was a bit short on helping me out. Yes there is an issue with your steering, yes Mazda will replace it at no cost to you, oops did we mention we do not have the parts to fix it - when we get them we will let you know.
Thank you Con Ed and Mazda you make my blogging so easy!
