<p>Dear Boss:
Can you not see you’re being snowed? She’s the worst co-worker I’ve ever had. She’s about driven your business into the ground by her lack of interest in the customer and her short, snippy ways with them and not knowing what she is doing after over 2 years of “just getting a paycheck”. And yet, you can’t see what I see…but you trust me to train her, and you leave me responsible for the office…but I have NO authority so don’t blame me for keeping this brown-noser. She has no clue and neither do you.</p>
<p>Dad,
For the first time in my life, I can truly say that I am absolutely ashamed of your actions. Usually I dread when you go out with friends because I know that you will come home stupid drunk and you and mom will fight, but I was not prepared for this. I am 20 years old. I should not have to wake up my mom in the middle of the night and call an ambulance because I can’t see you breathing and you’ve gone unresponsive. I have never been so terrified in my entire life. I thought you were going to die. </p>
<p>Mom is so mad that she can’t even look at you, and you have the gall to come back from the hospital and tell us that it was a seizure and not anything to do with you being intoxicated. The security guard told me that your blood alcohol was, in his words, “way, way, way more than the limit.” That’s the security guard I had to talk to you because you were trying to get them to let you walk home just hours after you got there. </p>
<p>I should never have to see my father stop breathing because he had way too much to drink. Seeing you like that will haunt me for the rest of my life. Not to mention you’re missing a day of work (unpaid) because of this and we have to pay for any of the tests and stuff not covered by insurance. :(</p>
<p>Why do you have to be so curvy? You’re distracting me!</p>
<p>Your monkey is not a real child. No matter if you put a diaper on him and coo and talk baby talk to him. He’s rude and crazy and wild and belongs in the jungle not your suburban home. Because of your stupid choices someone could get their face torn off. You have no control over him and I will not go to your house and pretend he is your son. If that monkey ever comes near me I will kick his ass.</p>
<p>Seriously, is it possible to waste any more of my time? Just let me ship my laptop in and let the pros figure out the problem. I have spent so many hours with technical support that I could have worked and earned enough money to buy a new computer. Now half my applications are missing – just gone, thank you very much. I can’t wait to spend a few more hours getting them back. And the actual problem, if you can recall it, is not resolved. Please, can this not be a team effort? I don’t have time for this.</p>
<p>Killing doctors who are trying to help people in need? You are one sick group of people. Our planet will be much better off without you, and the sooner the better.</p>
<p>Why, no, if neither of you have actual jobs or any money, you should NOT go Venezuela to look at plants! In fact, one of you does have a dissertation to finish… <em>sigh</em> I’m coming to realize that in many ways, you are/were an example of what NOT to do rather than what to DO…</p>
<p>Please don’t do anything stupid. Today was a bad day , but tomorrow will be a new day</p>
<p>I wish you would be truthful in your posting. People can’t help you if you’re not truthful. You’ve changed your story so many times to suit your current purpose and I just really, really want to call you out. You are a lazy and mediocre student who is constantly making excuses and you just aren’t telling the truth. Misrepresenting your credentials will never get you anywhere.</p>
<p>You ARE getting a pair of shoes today !!! Either you pick a pair or I will !!! I swear to God, I’ve never seen a boy so picky about shoes, to the point where I wonder if there’s something you’re not telling us …</p>
<p>Thank you for last choice housing and second choice seminars. I am really starting to feel like a college student now.</p>
<p>Also, other teller, you don’t have to be such a *****. I realize we are short staffed, but the government says I get a 30 minute lunch and I’d rather not be interrupted. You can interrupt me, but I’ll probably not come out until the end of my lunch. Just because the manager takes a two hour lunch doesn’t mean I’m not going to take mine. Deal with it. I have to be alone on your lunch, too, you know. Oh, you opt to work through a half hour of unpaid time instead of taking a lunch? Good for you.</p>
<p>I worked my *** off to be passed over like this??!! Time to find someone who appreciates what I bring to the table.</p>
<p>I suggested a fun family outing for today, only to be met with opposition. So where do YOU want to spend today, the last day before you report back to work full time? At work. Again. </p>
<p>You get mad when I call you a workaholic, but you’d be madder if I said what I really think.</p>
<p>Sometimes, it isn’t all about you.</p>
<p>People in suburbans holding 10 kids, who take 15 minutes to place an order, should NOT go to fast-food drive thrus. We all want to kill you.</p>
<p>Dear classmates,
I’ve know all of you for at least two years, some ever since I was ten or so. But I know I haven’t made the most of getting to know all of you and I guess that’s life. Some of you I barely talk to may have been just the friends I’ve been looking for.
I’m looking for a way to get away. Not trying to prove anything ie. I’m way more ambitious, I just see all those opportunities ahead of me, and I’m not the biggest fish in the tank, I’m just one of those small ones that crave for the big tank.
Maybe I’ll end up graduating with you, I don’t know if I’ll leave this year, or the next, or whatever. Anyway, you have in some way (although mostly minor if I must be truthful) shaped my life.Also, you should know I’m not a passive nerd. Or an annoying devil’s advocate. Not one or the other. I’m one of you, just a teenage girl. So who are we to know if how we thought of each other was correct or incorrect. I’ll leave you with that.
Me</p>
<p>Dear friends
Some of you have been from the past. It may surprise or even startle you (that may be amusing) to know that I have just regarded you as a ‘friend’. Honestly, in my memories you were a friend. And most of you, I still wish you were my friend.
It was a funny relationship we had, I think I liked/loathed you more than you did. Whether I liked or loathed you with a passion (the line between those two emotions is hard to establish), you helped me feel. Who knows, if all I ‘felt’ was indifference, then I could quite possibly be a robot-cold person.
It sucks that a few of you tried to be closer to me, that I didn’t realise, or I simply refused. Well, you could’ve been a total spoilt brat but you could’ve more likely been an incredible inspiration in my life. Why is it that so many relationships have one person who appreciates the other more so much, that it’s like a scale. One side up, the other side down. Can’t we both enjoy the ride?
There’s a lot I could ramble on about, but I’ll leave it at this. Ciao.</p>
<p>You lose credibility by treating every unexpected event as a crisis. We all have a pretty good grasp on how how keep this place running. Constantly telling people about the need to act quickly is not making anyone act quickly. It’s just annoying them and making you look foolish.</p>
<p>Okay, take a deep breath. Remind myself of all the good things about you. I know in the grand scheme of things, this is of little meaning, but we spent a LOT of money on orthodontics for you. We are not rich. I would LOVE to get braces for myself but I don’t have the money for that. Nope. We did for you. When I walk into the bathroom and see among all the rest of your mess your retainer I want to scream.</p>
<p>Don’t make me hate you. It is getting to the point that I don’t enjoy you anymore. What is so sad and unfortunate is that I always loved being around you. What happened to you? Why are you so frustrated and angry? Did I do something? I wish you would recognize that you need professional help to sort things out. I have been managing things by myself for so long and I am so tired and worn down. Don’t criticize me or Monday morning quarterback my decisions after the fact, when you choose to be silent on things, leaving me to handle everything. When it doesn’t go the way you think it should, you are quick to show me the error of my ways. Do it yourself. But why would you, you have me to blame. You seem to know a lot about things, why aren’t you more involved?
I don’t like your sarcasm or your off slanted humor. It may be funny to you but not me. You wonder why you don’t have friends and can’t get along with some people. I’m all you got.</p>
<p>Just remember that.</p>
<p>I am glad I only have to work with you four more days. I hope graduate school is everything you hope it will be. You will quickly learn that your patronizing arrogant attitude will not get you far when coupled with a masters in English. If I had to work with you on a continuing basis I would not be staying. You might have worked here for three years (funny, they told me five when I interviewed) but I’ve worked in this field for over twenty. I’m not a secretary and don’t plan to become one in the near future. So back off before you get schooled.</p>
