<p>Sometimes it doesn’t seem enough, the rewards of this work. I’m not sure I should keep doing this. Sometimes it all seems so very small.</p>
<p>How is it fair for me ?</p>
<p>Really, you want me to do your job if I have time?</p>
<p>Nordstrom - get your computers in order and process your inventory in real time!</p>
<p>Boy, I sure hope this is the right decision. I am starting to have my doubts …</p>
<p>All of your dreams of being a writer will never come true if you refuse to put pen to paper. Stop being so afraid of failure and write. Nobody ever wrote the next great American novel on her first try.</p>
<p>Dear mother nature :
Could you let up a little ? We still need to earn a living :(</p>
<p>Oh lovely neighbor, for a gardener, you sure have and eye for ugly. Digging up invasive vines from vacant lots and putting them against my fence wasn’t enough. No you had to “plant” fake trees against the fence too. Now you’ve had an argument and have moved out (hopefully forever) but your little plastic leaves from the fake trees keep falling off and drifting into my yard. </p>
<p>I pick them up, knowing they can’t last forever, and throw them in the trash where they belong.</p>
<p>Could you please stop using “nabs”, “grabs” and “nails” in the headlines of your news stories describing tech companies getting rounds of VC funding ? How about a simple “gets”? Not sexy enough?</p>
<p>Please stop asking me to design retaining walls for you three days before construction documents are due. Just because your civil design tasks are relatively calculationally trivial doesn’t mean that my structural calculations are anything like that. There’s negotiation, preparation, and real computational work involved. It’s like telling your mom that you need to bring in cupcakes to school the next day when it’s ten o’clock at night.</p>
<p>Incidentally, buying me a cupcake would go a long way towards making me happier about staying until after midnight to help you out.</p>
<p>Dear my Russian vice principal:
I honestly don’t want to sound super rude…(ok, maybe I do)
but your dirty hands groping your secretary’s thighs was…um…pretty gross
the secretary told you to stop in the first place but you didn’t
you kissed her chest instead.
You said ‘i don’t care what my wife would say if only i can have you’
yup, i heard it.
That totally freaked me out. but then i also thought
‘maybe the vpricipal’s marriage wasn’t meant to be. maybe he can have a better life’
so i didn’t say anything to anyone.
but then, you proved me wrong.
when I went to your office for my transcripts, you grazed my butt with your big fat hands.
It was slight so i just let it go.
but i foundout that your attention was not on my eyes nor what you were talking about
but on my body; specifically, the chest.
Vprincipal, I detest to even call you by that title for you do not deserve it.
The worst horror of my life was because of you:
when i stayed after school to tutor a friend,
you came into the girls’ bathroom while i was washing my hands.
I was frightened to see you but I just tried to go out.
It all started with a brief ‘hey there’ and ‘what are you doing this late?’
but it ended with hands all over my body and dirty I-don’t-even-want-to-know-what liquid coming out from the most anonymous places.
Good that I ran away.
Good that you didn’t come to school the next day.
I swear that I would have called the police the moment I saw you the next day.
I’m so glad I do not attend that school anymore.
Thankyou,</p>
<p>Dear patient, if you say that you are breastfeeding, you actually should put the baby onto the breast (as opposed to keeping the baby in the nursery all night). Dads, if mom is breastfeeding, you should be doing everything else for the baby (instead of snoring on the cot while mom shushes me when I come in to do my job). The time for everyone to get lots of rest ended the night before you went into labor.</p>
<p>What another low grade fever again? When is this going to end? The not quite sick and not quite well feeling is terrible.</p>
<p>Cancer, I hate you.</p>
<p>somemom, cancer has to be very, very afraid because it has many enemies. Someday it will get what it deserves!</p>
<p>Ah, full blown sick now. Throwing up & diahrea & headache. Have not been sick for a long time. I hope this goes away soon.</p>
<p>I am so tired of you guys. You want me to make decisions and when I do you criticize my decisions! Plus, you guys THINK that you know me so well that you know what I am thinking and sometimes you don’t even ask me about things! Sometimes I want to be so far away from you.</p>
<p>I hate the College Board, hate the Profile, hate the Common App…ok I feel better now…</p>
<p>I thought I was on the mend today but after having to drag myself to work through the rain, I’m not sure anymore.</p>
<p>Are you going or not?</p>
