Dear Tech Department:
Really? Your mailbox appears to be unavailable. Try to access it again in 10 seconds. If you see this error again, contact your helpdesk.
But those tickets are suppose to be done by email. Maybe you guys are lonely and you want everyone calling you today.

Oh V, I know it is completely NOT FUNNY for you! Still, it makes me laugh a little bit.
One time we got an apology from IT saying that the reason that the spam reports weren't showing up in the inbos was because they were being stopped by the spam filter. (I laughed so hard I about peed my pants).
Dear assorted hearing respondents out there,
I know, I know. You hate the hydropower plans. I'm a faceless city bureaucrat and you want to make plenty sure that I know you hate the plans. But honestly, they really are just loose plans, and I need constructive feedback. It would be a lot better if you had done what we asked you to and written specific comments with content instead of spewing out pages of random angry noises. I now have 25 responses out of which 6 make sense.
One of them actually sounds rather like he's threatening the hydropower company (not me) with black magic... :rolleyes:
If that's one of the six that make sense, you got your work cut out!Quote:

Dear teeth: Work with me here. I've already invested quite enough in you over the last few years thanks to four years of braces. I really hate having to spend a grand on a crown. :mad:
Bummer, but unfortunately, sometimes it can't be helped. Just be glad if you don't need a root canal as well. I have a mouth full of crowns and a couple of root canals. And this was after cavities as a child and braces as well. Thank goodness nearly all my teeth have been fixed now, so dental check-ups are a bit easier as they're pretty much just about cleanings and making sure my gums are okay (another fun issue as you age). I get such compliments on how pretty my teeth are, and I think "they should be, they sure have cost me enough!" :DQuote:

Dear Shoulder,
For the last 3 months I've given you LOTS of attention. Physical Therapy, lots of stretches, mobility work ... You have been poked, pulled, massaged, X-rayed, manipulated, and an whole host of other things meant to increase your range of motion and strength.
In the end, the only real improvement is you feel better (some days). Sure when PT is done l have full ROM but it does not last. I begin to wonder if this is a hopeless task and I can already hear my Dr tell me that he knew surgery would be required, (he has already implied this several times). Let's prove him wrong already, ok? Please? l do not have the money for it and living alone makes shoulder surgery more challenging than it would be if I didn't. Don't you want to act like a shoulder? That is all I ask...
That sucks, Catrin. :(
what kind of friend sleeps through our paint date? don't answer that. sigh...

SHE was late. Someone ELSE made her late.
so instead of 2 hours we had 1 hour. owell.
I didn't necessarily mean a "he" in a romantic sense, but many of us have platonic male friends, so I wanted to account for that possibility in my comment.Quote:

I never said they were. We're just sharing a few jokes here. If you don't find the jokes funny, fine, but I think you're otherwise reading too much into them. Remember that this started because I didn't want to assume that Mimi's friend was a woman. I wouldn't have suggested that possibility if I thought men weren't worth having as friends in the first place.Quote:

I absolutely did not mean to imply that all (or ANY) men were assholes. I am recently widowed and do not want to spend ANY one on one time with males who are not my sons, nephews or cousins... It has nothing to do with THEM.
Perhaps I did read too much into it.
I've been accused of not having much of a sense of humor, except perhaps, in an "inappropriate" way. And Indy, if a joke has to do with animals, I definitely will not get it.
See, I am an all around too serious person.
Mimi it is great to see you posting again. I have missed reading your posts. Sorry about your friend...sigh..at least you got 1hour in. From your posts I have found you to be a strong and an amzing women. I wish you and your family all the best. Keep on painting!! :-)
Dear Mom:
Tonight was a perfect example of why I don't call you. I called to check on you. I was treated to 59 minutes of what's wrong with your life, why none of my suggestions will work, and your ignoring reality. I barely got a word in. I told you I needed to go fix dinner 35-40 minutes ago (after a reasonable time on the phone). You ignored that and yammered on at me for the remainder of the time. I have things I need to do. It's almost 10PM and I have to go fix dinner now. You are rude and incredibly self centered. I'm sorry your life sucks - but to be candid, I don't remember a time that it didn't suck. Quite frankly, I'm tired of hearing it - particularly for this length of time.
Your very irked daughter
(((((((Blueberry))))))) Sorry you have to deal with that.
Aw, I'm sorry Blueberry. Family can truly suck sometimes, and they are the hardest to tune out.
(((Blueberry)))
because I am to chicken to post this on their facebook page it is going here.
Dear Assisted Living,
Due to your incompetent staff I get to spend the 3rd Friday in a row taking my Dad to the Wound Clinic. This is a minimum of a 3 hour trip. While I enjoy spending time with him this is not what I had in mind.
Once again, I will be working the weekend to make up for your inability to communicate.
On a positive note, I think I have found the perfect certified home to move him to. The owner has a striking resemblance to my Mom - I am taking that as a sign.
((((Blueberry, Sky King and Sky King Dad)))). I'm so sorry for your respective troubles.
Me too! Virtual hugs coming your way.Quote:

I have barely been able to get off the couch and I'm tired of coughing up your crud. GO AWAY!
Dear spring pollen,
How is it that you're already bothering me while it's so cold? No fair dealing with allergies on a day while wearing wool long johns!
Batten down the hatches, it was reported on the news last night that this is going to be a horrible allergy season.
"Going to be"? Two shots a week, three pills a day, eyedrops morning and evening and I can pretty much get through most days...
I was hoping that since it was a less-mild winter than last year, that I might be able to function this year.
Time to experiment with different meds...
Well.... maybe it was a good thing I was still too sick to ride today with my group today. Apparently, just one block before getting back to the start, the lead rider hit a patch of rough pavement and went down hard, breaking both bones in her left forearm. She was transported by ambulance and had surgery this afternoon. Two other women went down hard enough to crack their helmets, at least one checked for a concussion.
Sorry to hear about all the allergy problems and more serious issues....
You were lucky, AZ! Hope your friends are OK. Sometimes these types of things make me wonder about "fate."
My allergies have been horrible, too. I barely am over bronchitis after 6 weeks and now am back to taking Claritin daily and I started using Nasalchrom. It seems to get worse after I do outdoor exercise, which is not boding well for the riding season. There's still at least 6 inches of snow on the ground, so nothing is blooming yet. I don't even have any known pollen allergies, but I am definitely reacting to something.
Crankin, I think they will be okay. I know one went to the hospital and was released (no concussion), and the other was able to drive herself home and went to urgent care. I haven't heard back from her yet. I admit I was happy not to have to see the accident/aftermath.
Dear Whomever is Building that Enormous F#@k^&g McMansion in the MIDDLE of the damn trail,
I hope you enjoy what is undoubtedly your second home so that you can escape whatever desert you live in and enjoy these lovely mountains. I also hope you realize that your absurdly large house is in the middle of some double track that has been used as trail access for generations. You are a selfish jerk.
Sincerely,
Arizona Mountain Bikers
Dear SadieKate: thanks for inventing this thread! It's a lovely place to vent.*
*Even if, in some cases, that "venting" means typing something out and then thinking, naahhh, that shouldn't go on the internet. :P
