Dear Express,
I am so disappointed in your service lately and have never felt so let-down in my life. It's bad enough that I'm not a supermodel size and have to order ALL my size 14 pants from you online and pay shipping every time because for whatever reason you won't carry my size in the store. But then you go and rub it in my face by sending me a size 0 when I ordered a size 14? A size 14 Regular length, might I add. And then when you recognize your screw-up and re-send the RIGHT size, you proceed to send me a size 14 Short length instead?? Really??
What part of 14R did your people not understand in the first place? Are all your warehouse jobs outsourced to a third world country that does not read nor understand English? Or are your employees just stupid? And what I don't understand is the fact that rather than telling me that you dont' have any of the 14R original Editor pants in stock you just send a 14S so you can close the sale and shut me up. It's like going to the Humane Society and asking for a male St. Bernard, but since they don't have any they hand me a cat instead. WTF?? How about just putting on your site that the 14R are sold out instead of BSing your customers and putting them through an aggravating rigamarole? There's a thought!
Shame on you.
You read my freaking mind. I have steam shooting out my ears.
Dear Co Worker,
When I was hired at XYZ Company, it was as a team support manager/admin. No problem. Totally okay with that, and happy to be employed.
Over the past 8 months my role has changed significantly. I am no longer doing admin tasks. I am talking directly with the clients, the editors, the designers, the faculty, the logistics company, and the av company. I am creating the timelines, the purchase orders, reviewing the content, and handling pretty much every other aspect of this account/project.
You constantly screen the clients phone calls, complain when she calls, and generally do not give her any information that she needs. I am now pretty much the Project Manager for this account due to YOUR actions. I am doing your role, spending many more hours than you, and getting paid significantly less. I have never once complained. You complain about everything and act like "oh woe is me" all the time.
The client called this morning and asked to speak to me and not to you. Don't get your panties in a twist, you should have seen this coming. The client wants correct information in a timely manner. You have been here 10 years and are sucking at your job. Don't give me an attitude that I am actually coming through when needed. I know I have only been here 8 months, but I seem to have a better handle on things than you do.
Shut your mouth. Stop complaining. DO YOUR FREAKING JOB!
Thanks.

Dear payroll people,
Could you please give us a little more warning when time sheets need to be in early? The day of with 5 hours to get them is does not count. Especially when my boss is leaving in 2 hours and needs to sign off on all these things. I understand it's because we have a holiday next week, but that has been on the payroll calendar for YEARS.You've officially ruined my morning and I hate you for it.
Sincerely,
One angry administrative assitant
Dear CoWorker,
I realize that you think that you are God's gift to the wind tunnel world, and that you think that everyone else is a total moron, but really it gets so old hearing you put everyone down all the time. It pains me, but I know that you are very good at your job, but when no one wants to work with you all that ability goes to waste. So STFU sometimes and say something nice!
Thanks!
Dear CoWorker,
I am so sick of having the same conversation with you every fricken time you come over here. I know that you think that you are so clever, but really it shows a lack of ability to think. And stop asking if I am still married or pregnant. You dont ask ANY of the guys here that. I know that you think you are being funny, but those can be really hurtful or offensive questions, what if I was TTC and having problems, or even worse had gone through a MC. I have not, but what if. Those are OBNOXIOUS questions. And please stop making things up about me, and telling people these things, I know that people know that you are joking, but really it is OBNOXIOUS! AHHH, I am so tired of it!
Thanks
Dear Supervisor,
Please stop worrying about things that are not important at all, and start doing your job. All of us engineers are completely capable of working w/o constant supervision, in fact we have been fine for the YEARS in which we did not have a supervisor even in the same building as us. You are here to sign our time sheet. That is it. We are competent. So now leave us alone and actually do YOUR job of managing the wind tunnel, not us.
Thanks
Wow, I really needed that, thanks Cindy!
Thanks Cindy! I'm sad you are having so much trouble with Express! Their jeans and editor pants are divine, but you should not have to go through so much hassle with them, that is BS!
Dear Coworker,
Stop telling blatant lies to everyone, it only make you look like a bigger idiot. You can't expect our boss to believe you when you say you work every day from 7 am to 7 pm when he is constantly looking for you at your desk between 5 - 7. We all see you leave at 3 pm, and yes, once in a blue moon you are probably here at 7, but whenever I get in early your desk is bare!
Dear Coworker,
Yes, your kid is adorable in his halloween costume, at the pumpkin patch, sliding down the slide for the first time, eating chocolate for the first time, etc. But please do some work outside of picasa and youtube so that WE can move forward with OUR project!
Love, Margaret

Dear DH,
I miss you. Can you please modify your schedule so that we can actually spend more time together? The 8 hours in which I/we sleep does not count as spending time together. Thanks!
Dear Boss,
While I know when you talk to people on the phone, I do not know what is said during those conversations. It helps if you actually type up memos relating to the conversation so when someone calls asking about your conversation with XYZ I know what to tell them!
Dear Wanna Be Sewing Machine,
You suck!!! It would be nice if you would sew for more than 5 minutes without jamming. If I threaten to replace you, would you work better? Either way, I hope I get a new one for Christmas!

Dear Co-worker:
You are a control freak who doesn't trust anyone else to do as good a job as you do. I get that. But here's the thing:
In our project meeting with the Head of HR as we prepare to roll out our year end appraisals, you VOLUNTEERED to own and manage the entire data manipulation and reporting pieces of the project. You knew when you did so that you also support 4 partners, and that you have to travel for various projects as well. So I don't wanna hear your bitchin' and caterwaulin about how "busy" you are and how you "barely have time to breathe" and "don't know why you get tabbed" to do just about everything!
I am also on the Year-end Appraisal project, I have greater bandwidth, and I support just one partner. And even though I have offerred to take more off of your plate to help you out, in addition to my role on the project, you refuse my help, because you want the HR chief to know how much you are doing.
Fine, if that's how you want to play it. Just STFU and stop making yourself out to be a matyr at every team meeting - sighing and carrying on like you have to carry the load all by yourself and no one wants to help you! You asked for it, you got it. Now man up and shut it!!
Sincerely,
Stacy
Man, Cin - that did feel great :-)
Dear New Girl,
Please stop acting like you know what you are doing. You are just going to look like an a$$ when you are proven wrong. Also, you have an annoying laugh. But thanks for moving two cubicles away from me so I' don't have to listen to your annoying voice anymore!
