Dear Coworker,
I leave you alone on your day off, leave me alone. You need to stop giving into this kid, tell them NO. I know you wish you were her case manger but you are not, I am. I know you are bitter about me leaving overnights so soon, but that was not my choice talk to the boss about it. You have worked here longer than me, you should know what to tell them, why are you calling me. When I tell them no and you tell them yes, it makes my job a lot harder. I am also sick of your negative Nancy view and judging how everybody else runs their cottage or does things. Maybe if you spent time out there you would see that they do fine and there is a reason they do it.
In short grow some balls, learn to say no, don't call on my day off and don't judge.
Sincerly,
An Annoyed Coworker
Now go. . .
Re: Dear. . .
Dear economic terrified people,
You'll be okay. The world is not set to self destruct at any point in the super near future. Please learn to put your insecurities away and have some hope for the future instead. Then, and just maybe, I might be able to get hired by some smaller law firms, because they won't be so terrified of the money that I really don't require..all that much.
Your hopeful optimist,
Esq x2
Dear Mom,
Thank you for taking care of the boys while I am work, DH studies and goes to school. You truly are a big help. DH and I really do appreciate it. However, when I get home in the evenings and the boys are super fussy, please do not say, "Give him to me, I will calm him down." Seriously? I know you are just trying to help, but palease let me be the mom, and you be the grandmother. I know how to take care of the boys, it isn't my first day anymore.
K? Thanks!
Love,
Your daughter, mother to your grandbabies.
Dear Coworker,
I brought food to share today because I felt like it. If you don't want anything, don't eat it. But I do not want to hear you go on and on about why you cannot possibly eat a single mouthful because of your latest ridiculous diet. Hcg is not healthy, 500 calories a day is not sustainable, and zero carbs is dangerous. Just stop it - you cannot lose those 80 lbs in 2 months, really.
And if I want to bring treats in again next week, I'm going to do it. Because I can.
Dear brain,
Please stop trying to explode out of my head. I really like having you on the inside.
Love,
Me
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
Dear marble for brains boss,
The document you're looking for that you assumed I would have given to the proper people is placed in a folder on your desk, right on top. Also, it was sent via attachment in an email sent directly to you. When you thought I would have given it to someone under these circumstances boggles my mind. Please get your act together and stop blaming other people for your mishaps.
Sincerely,
your disgruntled assistant that is nowhere near kept in the loop to even be an assistant to you.
Dear Tuesday,
Please go by really fast. We have our anatomy scan tomorrow and I can't wait to find out if we're expecting a boy or girl. I gots shopping I want to do.
Sincerely,
An overly anxious first time mom-to-be
Yay! It's cheeseburger or hot dog day! say!
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
Dear Office Building Managers,
Please get your act together and restock our coffee supplies. We are paying for your services and you have a lease agreement with us. I don't want to choose between being caffeine-deprived or spending $6 a day at Starbucks.
Sincerely,
Your PAYING Office Tenant
Dear Students,
If I give you an assignment that is due in three weeks, you should assume that I expect A LOT of effort put into it. This means when you tell me you are finished with it at the end of the FIRST class period, you should not be surprised when I laugh at you. Forty-five minutes worth of work is not going to cut it, so do not whine at me when I tell you it is not good enough. I'll take it from you now if you really want me to, but you can explain to your parents why you are now failing my class.
And also, it is almost December. This means I no longer want to hear the following phrases coming out of your mouth: "I forgot a pencil," "I forgot my agenda book," "Where do I put my homework?" "What are we doing in class today?" or "Do we have to do this?" We have talked about all of these things and you have the skills and the brain power to figure them out on your own. My job is to teach you. Your job is to be a student. One of us is not consistently holding up our end of the bargain...and it isn't me. Get it together. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Your teacher who knows you are more capable than you are demonstrating
BFP 5/2/11, missed m/c, D&C 6/13/11
BFP 12/8/11--Little Girl E Born 8/22/12
This made me giggle. I almost said that instead of boy or girl.
dear utility customers,
calling me sweetie, hunnybear, sugar pie, baby, or any other term of enderiment will not A cause me to risk my Job to get your power back on and B will not negate all the filthy inapropriate names you just called me me when I explained DTE's policy on why your lights and gas were turned off. either pay your bill or deal with it. it is not a racist thing it is not because I am a woman and I am not after your husband you weirdo(you know who you are) it is poilcy
sincerly,
The girl you called
thank you for calling DTE Energy and have a nice day
My favourite phrase: "Suck it up, princesses." I'm such a jerk.

Dear Parents in Gibson's class,
Please stop sending your kids to school sick. So far we have had the flu, strep throat, lice, and pink-eye in the Kindergarten class. If your child is that sick (or has lice) please keep them home. I don't expect my children to never get sick, but some things can be prevented.
Signed,
A mother dealing with my sick children.
I hate that too. I shipped a kid home earlier this year with pinkeye! I know it seems like it to some people, but teachers are not a baby sitting service.
