jcollie719Ever since I began using Yahoo for my main e-mail address, I only check my old AOL account once in a while.
Tonight, I found a six-day-old e-mail from the dating service telling me about the latest woman they matched me with. This is after not receiving a match for about three months, during which time I filed a complaint with the BBB. I opened the e-mail and found the service had matched me with someone I had been (unsuccessfully) matched with previously. I'll call the service tomorrow morning and let them know about their mistake.
It's bad enough that the service communicates completely by e-mail now instead of calling people. I originally chose this service because it used to have at least a partially-human component to it (meeting personally with clients, calling them, etc.) Now it's no different than online dating sites, except those sites don't charge for their services.
I finally get to deliver my first major Toastmasters speech on Friday. I made a few modifications to it. It's now just under five minutes when read at a semi-fast pace. I'll make an outline of the speech tomorrow so I can get back on track if I lose my place.
