If you use Verizon long distance, cancel it.  If you have a check in the mail to them, stop payment.  If you know a Verizon executive, execute the motherfucker.  Why am I a tad miffed at Verizon?  Because they are the latest on a very long list of big companies that enrich their top people for no apparent reason, and screw the little guys.  To be more specific–Verizon lost a shitload of money recently, it was in the NY Times.  They pay their two top execs something like $40 million a year, which would support 60,000 people who live at the level I do.  So what does this company do to save money?  THey fire 1,500 of their workers.  Okay, it’s maybe 2,500.  I’m too lazy to look it up, so trust me on this.  In summary, to hell with Verizon.  A pox on  Verizon.  Fuck Verizon.  And yes, I do feel a little better now.
