WTF Wednesday
Open letters?
Dear H,
I miss having my car. I love biking to work, but you bogarting the car is making me really sad. I haven't been able to do any errands or leave the house unless I'm on the bike. I realize that you have further to go for work, and you have class...but I miss having the car at times. Let's try and work out a schedule that works for both of us, hm?
Dear Volunteer at Work,
You are a really nice guy. However. This is the busiest week at work for me. And I don't have time to do an 800-page project for you right now. I realize that your volunteer work is very important...to you. But the stuff I am doing, that I get paid for, right now, is important to RUN THE OFFICE. So I will have to put off helping you until after Easter. Please try to understand.
Love, Baystate

Dear client,
Rescheduling a meeting 10 minutes before it's supposed to start is NOT cool.

Dear woman at dog class,
The beginners class does not necessarily mean puppy! Yes, our dog is 1.5 years old, but you did not have to make me feel bad about it. The class is open to all ages. Boo to you and your yappy mouth with your little yappy dog (who I have to admit is sort of cute).

Dear Town Council and Mayor,
I can't believe you want to close down our animal shelter to seel the land to a cemetary so it can build another road. It doens't need a road - but the animals need a safe place and a second chance. The shelter has done amazing work in the past decade to turn it around and I am ashamed to be a resident right now. I hope the news coverage and the nearly 6000 facebook fans will help you realize what a mistake it would be to cut the budget and cause the helter to close.

Dear SIL,
Stop acting like a raving lunatic. You seem to like this new guy. Don't frighten him off before we have the chance to schedule the wedding. And we need at least a year to pay for the wedding you want, so try to behave til then. Also, don't throw your roommate out and then ask us for money. You're 36, you need to take care of yourself.
Your SIL, who can't wait for your wedding!
Dear Vet and Pet care world
Why is is so freaking expensive to care for 2 pups? I just need to kennel them for a few days while I head halfway across the Midwest for a family event. Now I've already spent $356 on one exam, heartworm meds, flea and tick meds. I have to get dental done on 1 ($1000) and all the same exams on the other. And add in bordetella in the next month for both. It's a racket I say.
I am spending more on their accomodations than I am on myself to take the trip. WTF! April is costing me nearly $2000!!!!
Dear DH,
Please stop leaving town for work. I can't convey to you just how much I dislike it, and we don't need to you do this financially, so I'm having a really hard time dealing with you being gone. So please stay home, permanently.
Love, your lonely wife

Dear job,
Please don't suck this week. You have a lot of potential to suck, and not much potential to be good... but please make the right choice. Thanks.
Thanks, me.

Dear Whataburger,
I wish you would deliver a chicken sandwich to me for dinner.
