Dear Mary,
Just open the Fr^%kin' project!! Why? Because I asked you to! Do not question why I need this to get my work done. Do not send me three emails, then copy your boss - just open it . Is that too much to ask? Do you NOT have a clue with the fact that the rest of my department has quit that I'm at my wits end? I am one bad day away from walking out the door and not coming back and I don't need crap from you or anyone else that is so good about weaseling out of their work and having everyone else do it. You're the accountant - why do I have to invoice????

I am ready to go medieval on someone and you are in my sites. Just do as I ask, back away slowly and no one will get hurt.....

[SouthernBelle]

Go ahead. Go medieval with a large pike. & maybe a mace.

[mtbdarby]

I just might Bi&$% hasn't opened the estimate for me..

Dear Verizon (People PC, Beachbody, etc) Call Center in India (can you tell I'm having a bad day??),
I realize this is a low cost alternative to a lot of companies, but all I want is to be able to ask my question and get an answer in less than the 25 minutes and 3 people you just put me through. My dsl line is hooked up - where is my modem???? And why can't you help me? I realize you gave me an estimated hookup date of 4/20 - yeah, you hooked the line up early. Just please send me my modem. No, instead, you give me yet another number to call which I doubt will much helpful than the first. All I'm asking for is a tiny bit of customer service in a really crappy day. Without the internet at home I am cut off my my TE sisters - I am not dealing well with this withdrawal. Lucky for you, you are the only dsl provider in my town and I can't drop you. Otherwise I would have told you off today and moved on to another company.

I am now going to take a deep breath and call my local number to see if they can help me. Wish me luck....

Dear Terry (Mary's boss),
Pretty sad I had to go over her head to get the estimate open, but it's now open in time for me to leave and have to start over Monday morning. Thanks.

At least it allowed me time to make an appointment at the employment agency. I'll be calling Verizon on the way home, on my company cell phone.

********bllllllloooooowwwwwwiiiinnnngggg ooooouuuttttt**********

Done venting now. Thanks for listening I'm off to get my little man and a big hug. Then I get to see my mom and sister tomorrow. And 2 whole days I don't have to think about this place. Taa-Taa.

[chickwhorips]

hugs dar

hope your day gets better!

Dear Mother Nature.

Look, we get it. You're in charge. You own us. We are at your mercy. But haven't the past few weeks been just a little unnecessarily cruel?

One week it's -20C and overcast, next it's 18C and sunny, and now it's -4C and snowing? You give us a mere TASTE of spring, then throw it back in our faces? This is hella unfair.

Regards,
Frozen Cyclist

I hear ya! Its not snowing here, but cold and rainy...Saturday was amazing but did a complete 180 and is now crappy. I hate the little TASTE the its gone...

[smilingcat]

To the jerky dude cyclist,

I was minding my own d*&n business riding a straight line, not weaving, not yo-yo-ing my speed. Doing a respectible 20+MPH and when you past me on my left. You didn't even call out. So why the F*&k did you lauch that snot rocket. I almost ran into it. for what ever reason, when you went past, I drifted to your left side and you Mr. A__hole, you launched it on your right side. YOU MISSED!!

Then to the two boys, one riding a brand spanking new Colnago with Record component, next time please ask if you want to draft off of me. You are a big boy and so was your friend. Back off! I not only had to keep my eye on the road, I needed a second set of eyes on back of my head to keep an eye on you two. With such nice bike and nice component, surely you could have past by me. I was only doing 23MPH. I'm out of shape pld bitty.

GRRRR

Dear wind gods.

You were very tough on our good pal Denise (AKA Running Mommy) today. You whipped her hard and sent her out on the run with nothing left in her legs. Well, she worked her azz off for a PR at IMAZ. Not only did you take her PR away, she couldn't finish in time for the cut-off.

You're mean and you better make it up to her somehow this year. Maybe you can convince the lottery gods she needs a little cash, or ask the gods in charge of health to leave her alone for awhile.

Dear so-and-so
If you told me once, three of four months ago that I could keep my bike upstairs, and I politely declined because after a 10mi hammerfest carrying a 30# bike up 4 stories felt like a death sentence, please remember that at one point in time that option was available to me.

Today, after my ride in, I didn't have my lock so I carried my bike up the 4 floors (because the building manager specified no bikes in the elevator) and asked politely if that option was still available. You not only told me you didn't remember having ever told me that, you also went to the office manager to inquire. You weren't polite about it, came back to me and said "He's not thrilled, it's only okay on an exception basis." WTF. You were the one who looked into bike parking for me!

GRRRRRRRRRRRR

[DebW]

Kit, maybe there are creative ways to get around this rule. If you disassembled your bike in the office, it wouldn't be a bike, it would be 2 wheels and some other parts. You could hide parts in dozens of different places. I think this is a challenge your devious mind can easily conquer, while making obvious the inaneness of the current policy.
