Dear So and So

[Kitsune06]

Dear so and so...
I don't write *every day*... lord knows, I don't even write *every week* but just because you don't hear from me all the time doesn't mean I don't love you...
...and it doesn't give you license to say harsh things, either. You could always discipline me as a child with a look... so why did you always have to say such biting things? Did it make you feel better, like you have something accomplished, or said your piece? Is that it?
Thank God for selective memory. I'd completely forgotten a lot of what you'd said while I was a kid... until I found little bits of a journal I'd kept a long time ago. I repeated these horrible things as if they were empty, idle conversation. Truly hurtful things had become the norm. And I go on to wonder why I've gone through emotionally abusive relationships in my past and continually fear I will repeat my forbears' mistakes, fear hearing their words come out of my mouth without thought? You'd think that I'd know better, given my vehement dislike for such abrasiveness, but no... without thinking, I blurt these things and manage to hurt my own feelings and someone else's.
I don't ask you to be a nice person... just be accepting and warm, or leave me alone. You've done nothing significant for me since I was a cute little minor in your house. I moved away and you rewarded my efforts to contact you with hurtful words, intimidation and cruelty. I went through difficult times in my life and you comforted me with the silent treatment, telling me how wrong my decision making was, my happiness be damned.
And you wonder why I don't have this burning desire to go home?
My only real solace is the fact that you've finally ceased to ask about grandchildren. All it took was for me to tell you that my GF and I will keep trying. A little shock treatment never hurt anyone, especially when it was merely a reciprocation.
Keep your bucolic fantasies to yourself. My kind of life isn't welcome there, and I will not sacrifice love, nor the freedom to hold my lover's hand and kiss her passionately in the street for what semblance of 'home' you will attempt to give me...

Sorry. Mutual rejection hurts.

Dear Verizon North,
Quit fu@$ing with me! I have now reported you to the FCC (thanks Trek!) and feel much better now. But enough is e-freakin' nuff, you know?

I returned your stupid modem almost 3 years ago and you keep sending me to different collections agencies. ANY time I get the chance, I will forever tell people of my bad experience with you and highly recommend they not use you. I hope the FCC bites you in the behind

Now I must finish my drink and go to bed, but this issue always gets my blood pumping so I doubt I'll be getting much sleep tonight....

Dear First Castle,
YOU changed servers for the ATM, quit insisting the problem is with those of us who all happen to use the same bank off site. The problem isn't our bank, we know, we checked, the problem is with your cheap server.

Just wait until all the military guys find out.

If my card works everywhere else but here, why do you continue to insist that the problem is with my bank?

To the amazing powers that be

thank you for scheduling the arrival of my bike and the arrival of my new ruby sidi's within 24 hours of each other. I can get used to both at the same time.

I am filled with wonder that my color choices look so great for the new bike
and that you can GET ON a new bike (that fits) and immediately feel more comfortable (albeit on a new unbroken in seat) than you did on the old bike!!

rainbows and butterflies to all, current events be d@mned...

Dear Aetna,

This is the second time I have endured a sinus infection because you wouldn't fill an allergy medicine without the 5 day wait to get paperwork to my doctor saying he really intended to prescribe it. My only joy is knowing that the $36 bottle of allergy pills you didn't want to fill is costing you an extra doctor visit and antibiotics. Sneeze on you!

Dear managers, directors and assistant directors. What is so difficult to understand about "not to life, push or pull more than 5 pounds". Why is it so difficult to understand, I CANNOT LIFT A 40 POUND CASE OF PAPER. Yes, I used to do it, guess what - I'm injured now. All I need is someone to come into the computer room once a week, check the inventory of paper/forms and replenish what is needed. Why must I provide a written inventory of what I think I use per week, and how often I need it replaced? If it's gone, I need more. Simple.

It shouldn't be this hard.
