Dear ______ Thursday...
We still do this, yes? (I've been mostly lurking, not posting, but noticed this was missing.)
Re: Dear ______ Thursday...
Dear students,
You want to do labs rather than sit and listen to me lecture? Then it would be great if you'd actually follow the instructions for the lab and manage your materials rather than running around the classroom, throwing materials (or even better things you find in the cabinets that some idiot designed to not be able to lock), and complaining.
FYI-It's EXTREMELY easy for me to make you carry your books to school and for me to make you outline the chapter and do the questions. Putting together a lab takes a LOT more effort (and your lack of interest hits hard)
Your teacher who is trying her best to provide learning opportunities for you
Here's another:
Dear parents who've requested parent conferences this week,
Final exams are next week. Your e-mail demanding a parent conference to discuss how your student can bring up their grade is a bit late. You say that education is really important to you and that you're really concerned about this situation but your student has been failing for 15 weeks, I've posted grades online for you and progress reports have been sent home but I don't hear from you until the week before finals? This does not constitute an emergency. I can meet with you after finals but I don't have time to meet with all of you this week.
Teacher who's not going to jump when you tell me to.
Dear CW:
It is an appreciation luncheon...not a gala event. We had that last week and you decided not to attend. NMP. And stop giving me "advice" on how to do my job. I know how to do it.kthxbyeeeee
This is hilarious. Sad that it is so true, but hilarious. Hope your day gets better!
I have another:
Dear other admin:
When I say, email me, I mean email me. I do not mean call me. I need written documentation of what you are requesting, not a verbal. I have told you time and time again that I will not take your verbal requests as they bite me in the a$$ since you always never take responsibility for your actions and try to throw me under the bus.
I like when we do this.
Dear "Boss",
I really really do not want to do any more work for you. You know how tedious I think it is.I want a vacation and I want to have some fun for once.
I will help you any way because 1. I need the money and 2. you are my friend and I love you and I know you need my help and I will not abandon you.
But I'm only doing it a couple of days because I am not canceling any of my plans I made next week!!
Signed,
You friend and "consultant"
Tea Time for Lulu
Dear Sister,
Mom isn't dead. In fact she's doing really well. Stop trying to plan her funeral and stop trying to figure out what you're going to do with her life insurance money. I have a DPOA for a reason and that's because you're a self centered, grabby, brat. Mom doesn't trust you and neither do I.
Also, you need to visit her. She's in the hospital recovering from a stroke FFS. And not just for 5 minutes either. Go in there, spend some time with her, tell her that you love her and encourage her to get better soon. Bring the kids. She keeps asking for them.
I have to bite my tongue every time I'm near you. It's time for you to be an adult.
Love always, sister
.......
Dear Brother,
Thank you for staying all night with mom that first night. I know it helped stabilize her. Thank you also for running my check over to my land lady.
Love, sister
......
Dear Mom,
Please get better soon. I want you home by Christmas.
Signing the DNR form was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. Please tell your body to stop having strokes. I don't think I can handle them any more.
Love your baby girl
......
Dear Husband,
I love you so much! Thank you for supporting me and reminding me of why you love me. You make things so much easier.
Love your wife
......
Dear coworkers and employees,
I love you guys! You didn't burn the library down while I was gone and didn't leave one problem on my desk. There's a reason why I brag about you to other bosses.
Love, Your boss
