for the most part, i never open my mail. or even look at it. whoever brings it in dumps it on my desk and when the pile get so high i can't see the bottom of my monitor i half-heartedly go through it and shred/recycle it all. this is because all of my bills are paid automatically online and therefore anything else will probably be junk mail. actually, i don't even check online ever to see my statements because i like to pretend that my bills are magically shrinking while i'm not looking.

in today's pile of junk i discovered:

1. my half birthday passed last month. along with the opportunity to: get 1/2 off a pizza, get a free appetizer with dinner purchase, get 50% off a haircut if i brought a friend, take 10% off any purchase of $100 or more.
   
2. dr. m still hasn't sent a new authorization letter to my insurance company so they're denying my claims.
   
3. yet the bills from dr. m say somehow he's getting paid.
   
4. i actually made money on my investments. two months ago.
   
5. best buy would like me to take $5 off my next purchase of $250 or more (excluding pretty much anything i would spend that much money on, of course)
   
6. the company that manages my mutual fund would like me to vote for some dude to take over management because they bought some other company or something.
   
7. the bank i closed my account with is moving to a new location.
   
8. entertainment weekly would like me to renew my subscription even though it doesn't expire until 2012.
   

which if any of these are worth actually opening envelops? seriously.
