Alright here it goes ... the CDN. The what? Yes, the Chach Daily News. About a year and a half ago my one friend came to me with a concern - he didn't have time to read the news ever and he knew I always read the news each morning while drinking my morning cup of coffee. He simply asked me to send him, via text, some of the headlines of the day. So I did. And then he mentioned this to another one of our friends who then caught onto the news. Next thing I know, I have over 100 subscribers. So, this is my own little personal business - free of charge that is. My grandma keeps wanting me to start charging people but I would feel bad taking money from people. Yes, my grandparents are subscribed to the CDN and love getting a text every day. Okay so what's a subscriber? Simply someone who receives a text message from me every day of a 160characters of the top news stories of the day. Props to my mom who gave the name of the Chach Daily News -- yes, even my mom is subscribed! Before someone subscribes I always be sure to tell them, "are you sure you want to subscribe? you cannot unsubscribe (well you could, it would probs just hurt my feelings) and this text comes every day."
Over summer 2010 my phone died while I was out of town, so I was forced to go get a new phone. Oh let me also just note that me and cell phones do not get along very well, we tend to fight a lot and they usually hate me, break, freeze, malfunction allll the time. Because of this, I am very familiar with the verizon store and how the operate, so when the day arrived to get a new phone I walked into the store with one major requirement -- to be sure the phone can send group texts - for the news! After about an hour of debating which phone to chose (my friend I was with hated me this day), it was time to leave. As the verizon man was setting up the features on the new dumb phone I told him about my "non-profit business" and the subscribers and how important it was the phone could have group texting. He was thoroughly intrigued by the fact that my career was to send a personal text to people each morning with the news -- or maybe he was just intrigued by the fact my friend had decided to rip his one sleeve off his button-up collar shirt and just wearing 1 sleeve -- either way I almost had him subscribed. Luckily the next day he creepily called me and asked how the subscribers were! What nice service (not at all).
So, that's my business - the Chach Daily News. I hope all you subscribers are satisfied with your news everyday.
