I need to get this off my chest so I can move on. Tomorrow is the first day of the last Bloggy Carnival Giveaway of the year. I sent out several letters asking for donations. Can I just say the etiquette in business seems to have gone of leg warmers and ripped jeans?

I get it that not everyone "understands" blogging and the culture. I know I'm not on the A-list with a giant readership. But for a business to not even send a generic form letter in this day and age is pathetic. It's unprofessional, inconsiderate and bad business.

Thanks, I feel better.

Any Interest in A Christmas Wishlist Carnival?

I am thinking of doing a What I'd Put on My Christmas List if Money Were No Object post. Is anyone interested in playing along? We can limit it to 5 things. Leave a comment if you're interested. If enough people want to play I'll put up a Mr. Linky. (Image from here)
