It's that time of year again.
Phone books.
My 401k might have dropped by 34% last year, but my phone directory portfolio is up by 25%!
Good thing they delivered FIVE Yellow Pages this year. Verizon must be aware that we considered adding TWO stories to our Southie triple decker. Quintuple deckers are all the rage these days.
I'm assuming that the same person dropped all of these off yesterday. I just don't get the logic. Look at the building - there's three units here. So why not leave FIVE White pages and FIVE Yellow pages, right? It doesn't make sense.
My next-door neighbors probably received an identical delivery. They too have three units. That would, then, be TEN books of each color for a maximum of SIX units. Immediately, four of them would be unnecessary. That's almost this entire pile - guaranteed to be unneeded between our two buildings.
Who said everyone was cutting back in '09? The phone directory folks forge ahead, littering the landscape with more, more, and more.
These will, naturally, remain unloved in the front alcove until recycling day next week.

Enough with the phone books!
Phone books as space savers is an excelent idea!
Ha! I was thinking the same thing - enough with the phone book postings. I just can't resist though. I do have one more to post tomorrow or Monday, then I'll do my very very best to move on....
