Anyone have anything they need to unload? I've got a couple.

Dear Students - I get that it's the very end of the semester. Trust me, I've probably been counting down longer than you have, and am probably looking forward to summer more than you are. But we do still have class, and class still starts at the exact same time it always has, and the same rules in class still apply. Don't wander in 30 minutes late. Don't sit in the back listening to your iPod while your fellow classmates present. I see you, I'm annoyed, and I'm docking points from your participation grade. Sincerely, Your Professor

Dear Self - See that awesome treadmill your husband bought for the two of you? You know, the one he's so good about getting up and using every day? Get off your @$$ and work out too. It's pointed at the TV for f**ks sake. Put on a DVD and walk. Sincerely, That Smart Part of your Brain

Dear Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene - (this letter is posted on my FB as well) First, let me say I love you both. Really, I do. I think you bring a great youthful energy to the roles of Emmett and Alice. Ashley, you especially seem to breathe an interesting life into my favorite secondary character.
That being said, are you two insane? Dragging your feet on signing on for movies four and five?!?! Remember what happened to Rachel LeFevre? That's what I thought. Summit will recast you both so quick we'll hear about it on the gossip blogs before your agent lets you know about it. And to top it off, it ain't gonna hurt ticket sales one bit. Face it - the holy trinity is in place, and fan loyalty doesn't go far beyond Edward/Bella/Jacob.
Do you think Neville and Ginny whine about getting paid less than the HP holy trinity? No. And guess what - they get to be in all the movies.
Please shut up and sign your damn contracts for *Breaking Dawn.*
Thanks,
A Twilight fan who will be seeing all five movies with or without you in them.

Dear GMAIL,
Your inability to f***king work correctly is making me want to punch a newborn.

Dear Job Market,
Please stop sucking. I deserve a little permanency and happiness. I've been dealing with BS jobs (or no job) for nearly 3 years now. Enough. Suck it up and get some of these people with promising prospects to call me back!
Sincerely,
Frustrated and Angry Leigha
Dear Management,
I'm still not going to tell you and the entire office when I'm in the ladies room. It's none of your dang business and you're already driving away quality employees with your ridiculous demands. Stop being psychos and trust people to pee for the appropriate amount of time.
Sincerely,
Your seriously temporary temp

Dear DH's regional manager,
Please find DH a PC soon so he can be done with this training program, we can sell our house, I can find a new job and we can move. I'm so tired of waiting - you've been talking about us moving for the last 18 months.
Sincerely,
Your employee's frustrated wife

OOOOOO! Exciting! Fingers crossed!
Dear MIL,
Please go back to Florida. I can't get anything done with you constantly 'popping in from Connecticut' (read: staying for HOURS) unannounced. If I have to cancel one more plan to entertain you, I am going to lose my sh!t all over your son. Please, don't make me lose my sh!t on my undeserving husband. Please, go home. To your husband. Who has Parkinsons. And is alone. In Florida. Where you live. Remember?

p.s. If you don't book your plane ticket soon, I'll book one for you. To the moon. One way.

Dear office chair and uterus,
Can't we all just get along? This is my first day back in the office in 2 weeks and you were cooperating well until this afternoon. Now I'm having some cramping and I can't get comfortable. Which basically means I'm no longer being productive. Not good when I have 1 grant due on June 3 and 2 due on the 16. Oh, and baby is due June 8. Please work together to make the next few weeks bearable.
Respectfully,
Uncomfortable at work

Dear hawki's peestick,
Please be positive on Friday.
Sorry you are suffering... I have a hard enough time focusing on work, I can imagine its a million times worse when you cant even sit comfortably. Can you use a pillow/towel or anything to help make the chair more comfortable?
And thanks for the good luck wishes girls!
