OL Tuesday
Dear Coordinators,
Please do your job better. You have administrators completely disregarding an agreed upon schedule. This means that 1/3 of my students are missing my early class this morning which means that we didn't do anything with so many gone. This also means that I made my way through an interstate closure and two blocked lanes on the same interstate to get here on time when class was pointless. It also means that I could have slept an additional HOUR. I severely dislike you at this point.
Dear OMHs,
Sorry for the above ramble. I'm just so furious that I am trying to not pick up the phone and make an additional call. I think it would probably get me into some major trouble. Also, I'm sorry that I called us "Knotties" originally. Old habits die hard.
Re: OL Tuesday
Dear Self,
Why did you have to gain 4 whole pounds while on the honeymoon? Now I have to work extra hard to get that weight back off again. But I guess it was worth it!

Dear DH-
A.) Thank you for cleaning up the mess the water and suds from the dishwasher last night when I was sleeping and not being mad about it. Guess I am banned from using the dishwasher now too, huh?
B.) We've been waiting 2 flipping years to get off the family plan with your family and onto our own with AT&T so you can get an iPhone so I'm sorry I don't believe you when you say we will do it this summer. By the time you actually decide to make this move, we will probably have cell phones embedded into our body somehow and there won't be a need for an iPhone anymore.
Dear head-
I would like to thank you as well for behaving for the first Monday in who knows how long and not sidelining my evening due to your pain.
Dear Love Shack-
We may be visiting tonight so please do not be crazy busy.
Dear Terrance Bunkley and the rest of the idiots in the world-
Do everyone a favor and just shoot a tree instead of murdering someone. You irk me to no end.
Dear Julie,
We are not Knotties...
Dear Tuesday,
Although I like you better than Monday, you are still not as wonderful as Friday. Let's get this day over with.
-ME
Dear Nesties,
I need change.
-Me
Dear Tiffany,
What kind of change are you referring to?
-Me
You just bought a house! Isn't that change??
Dear nesties,
If I have one more pregnant dream this week I'm going to kill someone or something. Probably my uterus.
-Confused nestie who doesn't want a baby but evidently subconsciously does
I think we talk about it so much (not wanting one right now) that it can become part of your subconscious.
Dear Summer and the other OMHs,
Two days ago I thought I was having ovulation pains (despite being on BC), and I had a few thoughts of "what if we went for it." But then that night I had a dream that I did get pregnant, and I was so upset about it in the dream. So I guess I'm opposite. Even though I really want a baby badly, my subconscious knows my circumstances aren't right yet.
Dear Mom,
This Easter basket from you will be the undoing of me. I guess it's kind of good I've already eaten everything I really like so I'll probably slow down on the rest??
I thought you and DH were already trying?
Lacey & Summer,
Work change.
-Me
Dear Baby/Bean,
please stop making me feel so crummy. i don't know if i can handle another 5 weeks of this. i'd like to just go to sleep and wake up sometime in june.
Dear Wife,
thank you for being amazing and taking such good care of me. i couldn't ask for a better partner.
Work (you don't get a dear),
can't you stop being so bloody boring and annoying? oh, wait. you can't. because my industry sucks. blech.
Dear Knotties that want a change,
I recommend Natasha at Lure Salon on McKinney.
With All the Trimmings
Just do it!
Ohh.... I know that feeling. Have you been sending out your resume lately?
Dear Brianna,
Where are youuuuuuu?
-Summer
Dear Summer,
No, I wish we could be. As soon I find a good job with insurance and maternity leave and all those bells and whistles, we'll start within a few months of that.
Well I'll keep my fingers crossed that you find a job very soon then!
I'm doing some serious research. Weighing opportunity costs.
Dear Stephie - Hah!
Dear Self - Happy Birthday!
Dear Head - This migraine enough is enough - go away!!
Dear Lacrosse season - Glad you are soon to be over and my husband will be back!
Happy Birthday!
Dear Summer,
Thanks! I know my mom is hoping for the same thing too, lol.
Dear self,
Please go to sleep easier tonight. 5-6 hours of sleep doesn't do it for me. I need more! I am so tired all day and then I crawl into bed and I'm wide awake. I cut out caffine at night and I don't eat after dinner. I get into bed at a decent time just can't fall asleep. Hopefully we can get this corrected soon!
-Exhausted-
Dear school project,
Complete yourself. My team isn't doing their part and I'm too tired to deal with all of it but I need the good grade to help me keep my A.

Dear Weather,
Please don't rain!!! I want to go to the Ranger game and you are going to ruin it for me!

Since I've been looking there have been a few cake decorating positions open (as well as other positions that sound cool that have nothing to do with an office life) except you have to have experience (which I do not have) and they pay squat.
On a serious note, since you have a graduate degree you could teach at a community college if teaching interests you.
Is that all you have to have to teach at a community college?
That's kind of scary.
Haha, yes...but I have an MBA so there isn't much I could teach since I don't technically specialize in anything at the Master's level.
You need at least the degree above the level of students you want to teach so yes. Or at NCTC if you don't have your degree in what you want to teach you need 18 graduate hours in that specific field. While it may be scary I had some great teachers who only had their Masters at JuCo and some bad ones with PhD's at both JuCo and college. I don't feel it's dependent on their degree so much as the person.
Dear 8to5-
You are putting me in the worst mood lately. I don't like to be the person that takes their work mood home with them, but you are making it hard. I left my last 8to5 b/c of this very same reason.

Dear Library-
You were like a gold mine last night! Thanks for having some great new books to check out.
