Dear
Mom,
I hope you enjoyed your (univited) (4 hours short of) 8 day stay at my apartment. We enjoyed it too, except for your 3 crying fits, setting a pan on fire and otherwise acting like you needed to be waited on.
Seriously, commenting on how badly I need to do my baseboards and telling me I should do them right now 3 days after abdominal surgery is inadvisable for anyone, much less the person who used work that day as an escape from you and who had loaded, unloaded and loaded the dishwasher in addition to cooking you a meal after work.
Oh, and stop judging for canned/ frozen veggies. Almost everything is out of season or insanely expensive here right now, and at least we're eating them.
Stitches,
Please go away. The bubble my healing process has created in one of you is itching me like crazy. If you aren't dissolved, you're being removed, but not til May 3, and I may be insane before then.
Work,
I don't wanna have a board meeting next week. Don't wanna.
Stand up for something you believe in.
Re: Dear
DOC HR lady,
Learn how to use freaming email. If I don't get this job because you are incompetent with email, I will hunt you down.
That is all.
Phoenix,
Thank you for crawling for the first time when both Jimi and I could see it. We were sure one of us was going to miss it, and I'm pretty sure you made both our day by doing it this morning, so thanks for being so awesome.
Jimi,
Please, please, please apply for those jobs I found for you. We're kind of on a time crunch now and I'm tired of doing all the work to make our lives better.
Jobs Jimi is applying to,
Please at lease give him an interview and if you're feelin extra nice, go ahead and hire him.
Dear IRS:
So I found a letter from you while cleaning up and I know I should have paid closer attention when I first opened it considering it was dated last year, but now you're saying I have to pay back the first time homebuyer credit for a house I purchased in 2008?? That's obviously a typo since I purchased in 2009, but I did amend my 2008 taxes so I can claim it. Your stupid phone lines have a wait of about an hour and I haven't had time. Please make this an easy problem to solve. I could have sworn that we got a follow up letter saying that notice was incorrect but alas I don't have it.
Dear self,
Get on top of things! This tax letter was an eye opener, you used to be more on top of things and organized. The office area is a disaster! Go fix it!
Dear work,
I'm tired of you.
Client,
Please send over this package for my closing tomorrow. I have to pick up my daughter at 5pm, and as much as I would love to sit here all night waiting on you, coming in at 8am on my birthday is NOT what I had in mind...

Five day weekend~
Thank you SOOOOOO much for finally arriving. You were killing me since my last day off in February.
Yard work~
Go do yourself.
Headache that I've had since 4pm yesterday - go away.
CW - when the powers that be agreed to let me move offices, they explicitly said that I was to focus on my duties as employment section specialist. They did NOT say that we were to split to office work that is your duty as admin assistant. Now, I do more than my fair share - I clean out the papers, I do the bank runs, I catch the phone - even when I'm not supposed to. So don't nag my to do the deposit paperwork when clearly I'm busy building an ad, which is my actual job. Do it yourself, and STFU. Otherwise, I will not help you with anything anymore. TYIA.
Dear weather,
Get with the program; it's April not November. Also, I could do with less rain.
Dear Baby Shower Guests,
Please RSVP as soon as possible; I don't want to end up over ordering on the favors and then have all kinds of extra, personalized sodas to drink. Also, I would like to start to work on seating.
Dear Thursday and Friday,
Please move quickly so that I can get to my long weekend of fun up in WI with my friends and my family. Please also consult my weather letter and work on a compromise.
Darling husband,
Please stop doing nothing on your days off and nothing in the evenings on work days. If I did nothing on all of the days of the week except hang out with people, play video games and work on my computer then our home would be condemned and hobos would start to move in. I cannot be the only one putting forth the effort to keep the house looking presentable!
sort of. I'm not really job searching, but there was an opening in a women's DOC facility pretty much doing exactly what I'm doing now, only in DOC, for $10K more a year, and forgiving $50K of my student loans after 2 years.
So I couldn't NOT submit my resume...
I've gone thru the first like 2 stages of the application/interview process. Now my stuff gets sent on to whoever is actually doing the hiring for the position. First 2 stages were just general DOC HR stuff.
Dear Work,
I understand we've reunited after 12 weeks but WHY are you taking over my life. I don't get to nest anymore ever and I miss my Niners WTF!
Dear law67,
Thank you for using the word "hobos" in a post. You just made my morning.
AGREED! Hilarious!
Dear co-workers-
I am going on maternity leave whenever this baby decides to come. Dont tell me I look miserable and like I am going to pop- it doesnt help me feel any better about myself.
Hiring co-worker for job I want-
Make up your mind. You know I am right for the job, I have been doing the job for a long time, just make up your mind. I am going on Maternity leave but dont use that as an excuse to pass me over...
Husband- I am sorry you locked yourself out of the house this morning in 45 degree weather in a towel, but you were stupid enough to go outside to cover the grill. Dont be mad at me when I am laughing at you because your angry. Its HILARIOUS.
Baby-
Feel free to come this weekend... it would be a wonderful time for everyone!
