I have decided that I will post about off topic stuff that has more of a personal aspect to it from time to time. I will also be doing a bit of shuffling of the blog layout to incorporate some more personal information in an attempt to give a bit more context to where my posts come from and how they are largely based on my personal life. Enough of that, on with the post.We all hate getting calls from telemarketers. I am no exception to that rule, however, I have noticed lately that I am only getting solicited calls from companies that I do business with. What is with that? It seems that the random telemarketers have desided to respect my request to be removed from their call lists while companies I do business with on a fairly regular based seem to think it is fine to keep harassing me.Strangley enough 90% of those calls are to inform me that I have been pre-approved for the next great credit card. cheap cars . Now I have three credit cards but only use one regularly. This must be a booming business since even my bank, which I have my regularly used card with, continues to try and “upgrade” my existing card to what they feel will make them more money…er..I mean…be better for me. Why would I want to trade in my 1% moneyback, no fees card for a card with fees and AirMiles. Lead Paint Regulations . No thanks.Needless to say I am about to cancel one of my cards in hopes the company gets the hint and stops harassing me. Heres to hoping!
