"Is everyone trying me because they know I have a podcast and I'm gonna rant about this insanity?" ~ Kate Would you believe that Kate is mad this week?

Kate's alone this week, micro-dosing rage after a trip across the country. Customer Service interactions are a rage-filled experience when no one is making what they are worth. Also, 24 Hour Fitness Gym Contracts are a SCAM!
