<p>I have to accept that nothing is going to change. I have to quit hoping for a normal, loving relationship with you. I keep telling myself that this is about your limitations and not a reflection of my worth. Why do I set myself up for a let-down yet again??</p>
<p>COACH, THE FACT THAT YOU PERSIST IN SENDING OUT ALL-CAPS E-MAILS THAT ARE A PAGE LONG IS RUDE AND PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE. BUT I DO THANK YOU FOR APPARENTLY AT LEAST TRYING TO USE SPELL-CHECK THIS TIME.</p>
<p>And I donât care about another of your mandatory fund-raisers. You donât get to decide for my family how we spend our money. And your line about about how YOU HOPE WE ARE THE TYPE OF PEOPLE YOU THOUGHT is ridiculous. As is the line about how MANY MEMBERS VOICED THEIR CONCERN FOR THE LACK OF FUNDS IN THE BOOSTER CLUB ACCOUNT. Uh, the reason why there are no funds is because YOU took money out of the account, which is against UIL rules. I am tired of trying to defend you and writing off the fact that you are young, but even my 15yo has better interpersonal skills and common sense than you do. Hell, my dog can read the temperature in the room better than you. And then your line about LETS (sic) GO HAVE FUN is laughable because even when the guys win you berate them. I hope that 15 years down the road you have more tools in the old toolkit, because right now the only tool you have is to be punitive and you are sucking the fun out of the game for the boys and their parents. THANK YOU.</p>
<p>I want them to come to a reunion, too, but you canât make demands on peopleâs time like that. Just because you have nothing to do during the day doesnât mean that these twenty-eight-year-old career women have 1) time to take off work for the weekend, 2) funding to pay their part of a âtea,â and 3) time to take two hours writing answers to a massive questionnaire asking about all of their memories from ten or twenty years ago, and what theyâre doing now, and why they first got involved in the troop in the first place, and whether theyâre married or have kids (and no, most of them arenât, and none of them have kids, because theyâre all working sixty or more hours a week), because they DONâT HAVE TIME. Stop pushing it!!</p>
<p>Iâve set my boundaries; I will either put together this reunion the way that I can make it happen, or itâs not going to happen at all. Iâm tired, but Iâm doing this for you. I asked you to do two things-- go to the troopâs old bank account and pull the funds we banked so that we can pay for the brunch ourselves, and to put all the scrapbooks and photos you want to give the women into individual gift bags, and we can either have a nice time visiting with everyone or you can keep pushing an agenda and kill the whole deal, because I donât have the time or the energy to organize another reunion for another organization.</p>
<p>Iâm already organizing our tenth class reunion the same weekend⊠Thatâs why we can have this at ALL. Half our former members live out of state. A tenth of them live out of the COUNTRY. BE FLEXIBLE.</p>
<p>OK I get that the job market isnât strong, I believed you when you told me that you
" had to " live in the city you are currently in to be ready for interviews. It is month 4 and not so much as a phone call , let alone an interview. Now it is time to be realistic and think outside the box. You HAVE to look beyond your chosen field and apply to ALL jobs that you qualify for âŠnot just the ones applying to your majorâŠ
Enough is enough. GET A JOBâŠany job and exhaust every resource that you can , every day until something comes thru</p>
<p>Dear Mr. Volcano. Please stop erupting. My son wants to go to France.</p>
<p>Youâre telling seniors who have worked their guts out for this team for 4 years that they canât participate in the last regatta of their high school careers because their time is too slow by 10 seconds. WTH!!! </p>
<p>Crew board and coaches, I hope you rot in hell. I am so done with you.</p>
<p>(Also note: The failure is not with these hard-working dedicated kids; the failure is with you, the coaches. You couldnât coach your way out of a paper bag. At spring break camp, our kids got up the earliest, were out on the water the longest, and erged until they were vomiting. And yet the two other teams that were there with us consistently beat us at regattas. Why is that? Because you are not teaching our kids how to row well. You guys suck at coaching, plain and simple!!!)</p>
<p>There, I said it. I feel much better now.</p>
<p>I see things really clearly now. You donât ever want to be the bad guy. You never want to have to make a decision. You push me into making the decisions. Then you blame me for making them. Itâs a nice game. But Iâm doing playing.</p>
<p>You are a thug and an embarrassment to the voters who elected you. You threaten to cut a not-for-profitâs entire annual grant because it wonât invite your mother to its annual reception? Perhaps if youâd ever paid for one single lunch or fundraising event, youâd have an iota of credibility. When everyone else pays and you donât, thatâs stealing. When you use your elected office to obtain things you couldnât get otherwise, thatâs corruption. </p>
<p>And very klassy to insult the most-beloved staff member in the building. I woudnât tell a soul what you called her because I would never hurt her feelings. But if it gets out, you wonât have to worry about being reelected because youâll be run out of town on a rail long before then.</p>
<p>Really, Volcano? You needed to do this NOW?</p>
<p>Okay, just WHY is it that everything comes to a standstill in the hospital just because itâs the weekend?</p>
<p>Stop it stop it STOP IT!</p>
<p>[Frostburg</a> campus mourns after fatal shooting of student - baltimoresun.com](<a href=âLatest News - Baltimore Sunâ>http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-frostburg-state-shooting-student-20100419,0,6112277.story)</p>
<p>I love this thread.</p>
<p>I have put up with your family for 10 yearsâŠlet every single one of them live with us for free. Picked up after their children, put on every holiday. PLEASE behave at my sisterâs wedding. Just because you donât believe that they have known each other long enough to get married does not give you the right to proclaim your beliefs to everyone within hearing. One weekend. In ten years. I will ask you nicely. I hope you will listen to me.</p>
<p>Do not put a 28-year-old with less than one year of applicable experience in charge of a $1.1B project supervising 25 people, cross-disciplinary work in 3 branch offices, and coordination with 5 companies across the nation, and then act all surprised when you come back two days before the deadline and some things have fallen through the cracks. Then donât talk to everyone in the other offices with them on speakerphone, one after the other, and discuss loudly how things have totally fallen apart since you left. There were THREE of you in senior management managing this, going to meetings, interacting with the client, and then you all went on vacation or out of town and handed it off to ME-- ONE graduate engineer, whom you had barred from attending client meetings and who had no idea what you wanted.</p>
<p>Given how poorly you prepared me, I did a superlative job at keeping this ship afloat. You are being astoundingly unreasonable, and you need to take the entire situation into account.</p>
<p>I told everyone I was done complaining about missing my vacation to Italy because of the Volcano. Iâm pretending that Iâm over it because I know other people have REAL problems. Iâm trying to be a big girl and move on but on the inside Iâm crying about it still. I miss my girl and wanted her to show me the city sheâs been living in. I wanted to celebrate my anniversary in Rome. I donât really believe that âeverything happens for a reasonâ. Thatâs hogwash.</p>
<p>How can anything be accomplished in this poorhouse?! This is not graduate school! Iâm going shopping, damn it! Iâm sick of borrowing this and that!..</p>
<p>You were kicked out of college because you had a drug problem and to this day at 60 yrs old, you smoke pot nightly and rely on every prescription drug possible for every minor issueâŠnow your 18 yr old âperfectâ daughter was arrested for having alcohol and marijuana and a bong in her car and you think itâs cute that your advice to her was "never keep a bong in the car, just keep joints, because that way if you are getting arrested you can eat the evidence. Ha ha, guess she wasnât kidding when she blogged yrs ago about getting stoned at partiesâŠwhich you denied </p>
<p>and you actually thought Iâd agree with you that the police officer wasnât nice to them because he laughed at the fact that they were A students. He laughed not bc he wasnât nice, he was probably trying to show them that they were NOT so smart, and that there is more to truly being smart than school smartsâsomething you have never taught your own kids.</p>
<p>you learned nothing from the fact that your older son has had drug abuse/addiction issues for the last 18 yrs, tragically including him having had a stroke following his ocycontin overdose. and he is now brain injured and on SSI and you complain that you have to rescue him from living with drug addicts (of course heâs not one, right??) who were stealing from him. You never insisted he get the correct treatment, and continue to minimize his drug problems. I guess thatâs where your own drug use comes into play because anyone with a clear mind would see how serious these issues really are. Sadly it seems that you have a sick need to see your kids repeat your own failure. Your parental lacunae is so big your kids can jump right through it</p>
<p>I couldnât care less about the idiot meth-heads. Let them waste away to nothing. Iâm so stuffy that I can hardly sleep, and I need REAL Sudafed, and I shouldnât have to prove Iâm not a criminal in order to get it. âFree countryâ has less meaning every day. Whatâs next? I have to get fingerprinted in order to pump gasoline because itâs flammable and might be used to make a bomb?</p>
<p>Iâm sure you were irritated when I called you at 6:02 a.m., but this number is published on your website as a BUSINESS number, not your home phone. If you donât want calls at all hours of the day and night, then you should get a separate business line. Or just turn the phone off when you go to bed. Iâm sorry to have gotten you out of bed.</p>
<p>I mention my childâs remaining college choices and you say, âI would hate it if she went to art schoolâ. How DARE you? </p>
<p>Guess where sheâs going? When you find out and I see you next, I will be wearing a suit of armor.</p>
<p>To my doggy
please stop barking at the cars and the babiessss
thank you!!</p>
