Open Letters Thursday
Dear vice president,
Please leave me alone! You don't have to be all up in my business, I can handle my job myself. I don't even report to you. I told you I was taking care of the bill issue yesterday, twice. That doesn't mean at 6:00 after I leave you should email that company and ask them the same questions I did. I told you I took care of it.
Sincerely,
Losing it
Dear certain girls at the office,
Get out of your crappy mood. I'm over your, "I'm too good for this" attitude. We are all adults here, and have to pitch in on some work we may not enjoy, but that's what we are all here for. Snap out of it!
Sincerely,
Losing it x2.
Yes, it's been one of those days so far, and I've only been here for 30 minutes...

Re: Open Letters Thursday
Oh, I have another one. I must be in a feisty mood today.
Dear people that didn't RSVP to the bridal shower this weekend,
I'm glad I heard through the grape vine that you are coming. Thanks for reading my facebook messages to you, five minutes after I sent them last week, and did not feel the need to respond. Now we are scrambling to find the extra tables and seats. Rude. I wish I had the guts to say, "Oh, I'm surprised you are here since I didn't hear back from you!"
Sincerely,
I need to get brave and start standing up for myself

Dear niece and nephew,
Thank you very much for passing your germs along and giving me a horrible cold in the MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER!! There is something so wrong about feeling crappy when its sunshine, blue skies and hot outside. Argh.
Sincerely,
Your Aunt
Dear work,
I'm seriously thinking about saying eff it for the rest of the week. I can't take the stress and craziness when my head is so stuffed up.
Sincerely,
Sick and tired of being sick and tired
Dear DH,
Thank you for making me lots of soup and hot tea and generally being an awesome nurse to me this week.
Love,
Your grateful wife
Dear Cramps,
Please go away! I'm trying to be productive today. I'm wanting to go to the gym after work as well.
Thanks,
Trying to be productive

Dear body,
please cooperate. I just would like to get through this in one piece.
Love, jurbs.
dear Walmart gods,
I really don't care that you haven't covered my leave. You've known for 6 months I was going to have a baby. It's totally inappropriate for you to tell me to wait until my due date because it will make things easier for you.
Love, your seriously not caring employee
Dear Boss,
Thanks for bringing me that salad yesterday. You kind of rock even though everyone else disagrees. Screw them.
Sincerely,
The only person who can work for you
MIL,
Seriously, keep my kid at my house today. I can't take another day of coming home after work and him being cranky and tired and screaming when I take him to the car. It's not fair to anyone involved.
Signed,
I thought you hated ot see your grandbabies cry.
Dear self,
Pull it the eff together and go to the gymor cancel. You are wasting money and getting fat.
Love,
Lazy McFatterson
Dear Coworkers,
WTF are your problems? You tell me info that pertains to the group, I pass it along because it affects all of us (and you don't tell important info to anyone else but me for some odd reason) and it turns out its a rumor! I took responsibility and I'm reprimanded for it by you. You do not get paid more then me. You are not a manager. You are just lead photographer. You want me to not "get in people's business" and "focus only on myself and work". Fine. Ive heard this before from you. Aparently you dont want a helpful concerned coworker. you only tell me stuff because I ask or youre venting (all this work related). Actually everyone talks to me because they know I pass anything work related along so no one is lost. I've taught you things about our computer system and you've been there over a year!
I won't help you out anymore if you're overwhelmed that day. I won't let the *** you do wrong slide. I will become a cold hard *** toward you all. I will continue to make the majority of the sales and work hard. I will shut down your act of friendship toward me. No more. You are full time barely working full time. I'm part time working 40 hour weeks. Our manager likes me. I'll win this war you started. Just you wait and see.
Yesterday was my day off and I delt with work BS all day.
From
you messed with the wrong person
Dear Sudafed,
Thank you for being an approved medicine. I love you oh so very much.
Signed,
A girl who can breathe again
