    Dear work,

    Please do yourself. GP has been hopping as of late but I keep missing out because you are overwhelming.

    Also because I've done everything I at all enjoy, leaving just the parts I dislike left. So feel free to take care of yourself for me. :)

    Thanks!

  • Dear H's friend/co-worker,

    We do not appreciate finding out your girlfriend is pregnant by seeing her belly in a picture on FB.  You know everything about what we've been through.  When you start avoiding H, we know something is up.  Now just have the decency to talk to him and tell him you guys are pregnant. 

    Thanks,

    Please finish packing all the little shit that's left and clean yourself so I don't have to after work.

    Dear New House,

    Please unpack and rearrange all the furniture to where it's supposed to be.

    Sincerely,
    Still tired of moving

    Dear DH,

    I appreciate the fact that you were trying to be helpful, but we hired movers so you wouldn't have to move any heavy furniture. When the dog tried to run out of the house, in front of the TV is the LAST place you should have left the bookcase, even if you thought it was secure.

    I still love you,
    Your wife, who hates shopping for new electronics, but would rather do that than have a TV with a hole in the screen

    When I say I'm light on work, what I really mean is give me something that will take me 20 minutes. That's so incredibly helpful when I'm trying to stay billable. Also, you wouldn't be so busy if you shared your work...just an observation.
