Breakaway News Volume No. 20 Issue No. 2 February 2015
/Happy Valentine’s Day!
It’s in the air…can you smell it? No, not the falafel from the Halal Guys’ food cart. It’s love we’re talking about, because it’s February and that means St. Valentine’s Day. If you’re a late Lothario or a recalcitrant Romeo, don’t worry. You can have your hastily bought chocolates sent via Breakaway Courier.
Online Bill Pay
It’s the middle of the night, and you’re up late, unable to sleep. Don’t waste that time doing meaningless YouTube searches. Head over to our https server and pay your bill online. Day or night, you can take care of your invoice electronically and conveniently, and then go back to looking up cat videos. We know, we love them too.
Retrograde World
Peggy, our office maven and newsletter polisher, tells us that this month Mercury is in retrograde. Astrologically, this means that communications are messed up and messages go awry. Rest assured that even if that e-mail disappears into digital ether and the letter vanishes in the post, our couriers never get lost, go retrograde, or go astrologically wonky.
Super Bowl
Congratulations to our Boston office and all the denizens of New England, for the Patriots’ fourth Super Bowl win. A great game by all accounts, with nary a thought of those flexible footballs. Hopefully our friends up in Boston can get all that snow cleared away in time for a victory parade!
Blaz Blizzard Blues
Well, the big blizzard of January came and went, and we’re underwhelmed. Starting out with the potential to be “one of the biggest in history,” the storm turned out to be a big flop. With such dire predictions, our mayor was all but forced to hit the panic button. What do you call a de Blasio blizzard? A dusting. What do you call a de Blasio coffee? Water. We’ve got a million of ‘em.
Man, That’s Cold
If you have a large order going out that’s perishable, fret no more. You can send it via our new refrigerated truck. It’s bigger, better and roomier, has a lift-gate, and it has delivered 250 lbs. rolls of the finest French cheese from only the finest French cows. C’est magnifique!
Stump the Band
Last month, we wanted to know who opened the GPS system to civilian use. Answer: Ronald Reagan, by executive order.
