Well yes but less expensive and on mass scale. Buying 1 million lottery tickets or playing 1 million lotto cards per day requires a significant investment, while sending 1 million spam mail or posts is inexpensive.
Really though, these numbers are incredible, I thought the would be much lower...

If "There's a sucker born every minute" then doing the math;
9000 / (1440 min/day) = 6.25
Therefore it would only take 6.25 days to create the clientele.

I've never tried it, but apparently a lot of people dig the stuff spam-maker-hormel-sees-3q-profit[^].

They do this out of compassion for you, because they know how much you need to play the role of guardian.

They're doing a damn fine job if that is the case - maybe they're overdoing that a tad but it's nice to have so many people caring for me, I'm moved

Last day at work in a week (24th).
Christmas in a week (25th).
Moving out of the house in a week (27th/28th).
Starting my new job in two weeks (jan. 2nd, which I didn't count because that's kind of included in the 'last day at work' (or vice versa)).
It sounds fun and not so fun at the same time 
In any case I'll be glad when januari is over and everything feels a bit like normal again...

Thanks. It's not that stressful though.
I didn't lose my job, I quit.
And I don't own much stuff, so I'll have everything over in a weekend.
Luckily I don't have any of the other three, which, in my opinion, are a lot worse than having to move some stuff 
What I'm looking up against most are washing, cooking and cleaning. It's done for me now 
I guess I'm a very lucky guy

If you mean living: From a really very small village in The Netherlands (actually just outside it in the 'polder', well, it's all polder where I live...) to another small village nearby
If you mean my work: I now work for a small company (six employees) that makes (Windows) desktop apps using a Microsoft technology stack, mainly for the food-, and specifically meat, industry in the Netherlands. And I'll be working for a somewhat larger company (about 40 employees) that does about the same, but more web-based, using different languages, databases, etc. on a global scale.
If you mean that in a more philosophical sense: Isn't that the question we all ask ourselves? We can plan our future, but reality is that you can never know what the future brings.

You are experiencing a syzygy.

I've never heard of a syzygy and yet it has so many definitions[^]... 
So I'm still not sure what it is you think I'm experiencing... Perhaps a 'union of opposites'?
I did check out the Japanese band Syzygys and one of the five bands called Syzygy though

The astronomy meaning -- metaphorically, you are having a conjunction of three things!

Allright, that makes sense.
And all of a sudden I have the urge to watch The Dark Crystal[^] (Jen will have to save the planet before the great conjunction, when three suns align) 
Who would've guessed that one of my better childhood memories is a syzygy?

**(You cannot make this stuff up)
Chinese passenger opens plane door for fresh air[^]
Key points from the article :
- A Chinese airline passenger pulled open an emergency exit as his plane was about to take off because he “just wanted fresh air”
- The safety scare on Sunday came days after a passenger on another domestic flight opened the emergency exit moments after his plane landed - deploying the shute - saying that he was in a hurry to get off.
- But Sunday’s incident, on a Xiamen Air flight from Hangzhou to Chengdu, seems to have been an innocent mistake by a first-time flier.
- The cabin crew explained the danger to the man, in his 50s, and changed his seat before the flight took off.
Huh! 
*** YCMTSU is pronounced Yic-Mitsu.

Fresh air just happens to be very healthy. And I know how the atmosphere in planes can be...

I've been tempted when waiting in line for take off or maintenance problems.
First hour ain't real bad after that people start getting antsy.

I find the air at 30,000 feet, to be quite refreshing.

NGC 7331 and Beyond [^]
Images like this, for me, are why I like astronomy. The sheer, terrible beauty of deep space, images of galaxies so far away that we can barely comprehend the distances involved and the notion that what we see there is a freeze-frame from 50 million years ago. Fascinating.
