Re: Open Letters
Dear Mother Nature,
Can you please stop being such a crab a*s! Its May for crying out loud. 50 degrees and crazy wind is not acceptable weather for Spring. I would really like to get outside with Logan at some point before she turns 12.
Signed,
A cooped up mom and her toddler
Dear Mike,
I know that you don't "get" holidays but for crying out loud doing nothing for me on Mothers Day really sucked. Its going to take me a few days to get over so please stop pretending everything is ok because you don't want to admit you totally screwed up.
Signed,
Your upset wife
Dear Landlord,
Please stop being so lame and just pay to have the new front door fixed. I am sorry we keep coming to you with things that are broken but we cant help that the last tenants were awful. And really if you would invest some money the first time instead of doing it cheaply you wouldn't have to do it more than once.
Signed,
Your tenants
Dear Friend,
You complain to me about money yet every single time I talk to you or see your FB status, you are going out to eat with your boyfriend (who also complains he's broke) or else going out for drinks. It's time for you to grow up a bit. Maybe if you weren't spending so much money going out, you wouldn't still be living with your parents.
From~ It's none-of-my-business but it annoys me friend
Dear Jason,
I am very happy you are making new friends but please don't forget you have a wife. You've hung out with them 3 out of the last 5 days. It's time for some quality hubby/wife time.
Love~ Your wife who misses you
Dear Facebook,
I'm slowly starting to care less and less about you. Are we drifting apart like myspace and I did? Only time will tell... lol
From~ Me
Grr stupid double post
Dear Work,
Today is the third day in a row you've made me cry. I hate you for making me that girl who cries at her desk. I hate that I now have to cut my vacation short to fly to DC for a reception that we'll have 2 people at. I hate that instead of having an easy summer, I am now stuck busting my a*s on 3 programs in 6 weeks. And I really hate that you expect me to do ANOTHER self-apprasial as part of this stupid performance review process. Either give me a d*mn bonus or don't, but I don't have time for this crap anymore. The raise I've got coming better be worth it.
Hate you so much,
Disgruntled
Dear Jack,
If you could stop being so d*mn poochie, we'd appreciate it. No more peeing/pooping in the office when we leave you, and please stop waking us up at 330 because you want to play. You're killing us.
Love you anyway,
Your Pooch Parents
Dear woman we heard screaming,
Please forgive my ignorant manager who, even though he heard you scream too, would not allow us to call the police. He did walk the perimiter of our campus, but sorry, we can't call the police for "just" screams. Your screams of bloody murder (TWICE!) sent chills to my bones and I haven't worked one minute since it happened because I cannot imagine that maybe something is wrong with you, and we did nothing. Please, please be alright.
Sincerely,
Sick to my stomache with fear
That is scary! I hope whoever she is that she is okay.
Dear people telling me and my family that my daughter is still early in her pregnancy and could still miscarry--
With all due respect, please f*ck off. We get it. She has enough on her plate without you scaring the crap out of her and making her think she might lose something very precious to her before she even gets used to the idea. I don't care if you think you're "helping"...it's insensitive and extremely rude. The next one of you to say it is likely to get a response you don't want to hear.
Thanks,
The one who actually thinks something wonderful could still come of a less than ideal situation
Dear father (*snort* what a joke!) of my future grandchild--
Please piss off. We get that you don't want the kid. We get that you don't want my daughter. So why are you still hanging around and bugging her? Go die in a ditch, and we will be happy to pick up your slack.
Sincerely,
The woman who thinks the best part of you landed on the mattress in the back of your dad's van
Dear daughter--
You are an incredible and amazing woman who is developing a strength I never imagined you would possess. I'm sorry that you had to develop said strength in such a hurry, but you are seriously my hero for how well you're handling all this. I love you and I can't wait to hold the baby!!
Love,
Your very proud mama
Dear Cublet--
I think your mom picked a great name by which to refer to you, because you are most certainly not an "it". You are special, and we love you so much already. God has His hands all over your life and the life of your mother. Keep growing and getting stronger, little one! There's so much good stuff waiting for you here on the outside.
Love,
Your Emmy
P.S. Please be a girl!!!
Dear January 2--
I normally hate winter, and I normally especially hate you. It's not your fault...you can't help it that your existence signals the end of all the fun holiday stuff. But this year, you're the star, because you're the due date of the best kid ever. Please come quickly!
Thanks,
An anxious grandparent
Dear Boss,
Please quit being such a D-Bag, just admit that you don't know jack sh!t and let us get on with our new system. You are really holding us back with your hissy fits and trying to act like you know what's going on. Everyone knows that you don't know or do anything it's not a secret. Our lives would be so much easier if you would let us make the decisions or at least go along with the ideas we have because frankly, they are better than everything that you come up with.
Love,
Disgruntled workers
Dear Fellow Employees,
I know that this transition is a PITA and believe me I don't like it either, but b!tching to me about everything isn't going to make it any better or easier. So please just do what I ask and everything will work out.
Thanks,
Annoyed Records Clerk
