Open Letter Wednesday
Dear boss,
I am writing you yet ANOTHER letter to GET OFF MY FREAKING BACK!!! You are in Dallas at a conference and do not need to send me three emails in 2 minutes (I checked the timestamps, it's true!) to check on the website, brief this article, investigate where your stupid blog is, etc. NOBODY READS YOUR STUPID BLOG!!!!!!! Plus, you know I have no control over what shows up on the site. Email the people who do, not me. I have enough $#!t to do (thanks to you, since you assigned it all before you left...@$$). And no you can't blame this on my hormones. You are just an insane workaholic who thinks the rest of us should be crazy like you.
Have a great day,
Your irritated employee
P.S. OK, you can blame the hormones...but just a little bit. You really are certifiable.
Re: Open Letter Wednesday
Dear skinny Bia at the Gym,
Don't judge me. Just because I have to stop to take a breather in class once in a while doesn't mean I'm a fat, lazy loser. I'm working my tail off and this is my third intense class this week and I'm sore and tired. These breaks are deserved. You are probably naturally thin or anorexic and are giving me really judgemental looks every time I stop to catch my breath and take a drink of water. Some day I'll look like you, but I won't give looks like you. I would appreciate it if you stopped.
Sincerely,
Brittney (aka..the chunky kid working her tail off).
Dear Mom, Sis, Gma, and Dad,
Thanks for coming to my graduation tonight -- it was really important to me since I didn't have a high school graduation and I was honored with magna *** laude and Phi Theta Kappa national honor society regalia. However, leaving as soon as my name was announced, so that the only picture I have of me in my cap and gown is with DH, is not cool. I stayed through all of lil sis' graduation last week, took countless pics of her with different family members, and made an effort to do everything the way she wanted. Instead, ya'll cut out and now I have no pictures, and no I will not just "put it all on again" so we can take pictures. DH's parents and sister + boyfriend stayed all the way through it because they wanted to be there for me. You may support me, but right now I'm incredibly hurt and need to stop crying and get some sleep before I even think about forgiving you.
One very hurt daughter/sister/granddaughter
Wow, I am so sorry to hear to this! That is really bad.
I talked to my mom about it again today; she still doesn't understand why it's a big deal. Grandma was ready to go so mom felt she needed to leave; my sister allegedly (I know that sounds bad, but you don't know my sister) had a freak asthma attack and left to get her inhaler. I'm trying to be understanding.
OMG I am so sorry! I know how big of a deal college graduation is. I hope you have fun on your honeymoon and at your grad party and just shake this off.
That's the plan!!! =] =] =]
