Dear So and So

[snapdragen]

Dear tiny member of the management team. Just because you are 4'11" and have a voice like Minnie Mouse, doesn't mean we all think you're cute as pie. After asking you for the last month what items you would like on our meeting agenda - and telling you it would be finalized yesterday before I went home at 4 - you send me a list of crap late last night, after I've left. Why do you sit on this stuff, then try to make it look like I'm not doing my job? Do you not realize I keep every single email you send, just to cover my butt? You look like a fool.

Perhaps she could go missing like Jimmy Hoffa

Dear MarkAnthony (and all other 1st time posters who are really here to sell flowers),

This is not the right place for that. If your advertising budget is so minuscule that you think infiltrating this forum is a good idea, I can only imagine what your shrivelled bouquets look like.

Dear fellow Cubeville dweller:

So you've mastered the art of doing nothing and our "managers" aren't smart enough to figure it out. Guess what: the rest of us are shouldering the extra load to keep you in a pay check. Don't wander around talking to us endlessly in your bellowing voice. It disturbs not only your victim but the whole area, and believe me, you aren't as well liked as you imagine you are. We understand that you're only talking to us to kill time, and as soon as your lunch time arrives, your monologue ends so you can leave.

While your'e at lunch, we're trying to get caught up, bozo.

I was listening to CBC radio the other day and they were talking about "strategic incompetence" at work. Sounds like you might have a case of that here.

Dear Cupid,
I'm emailing with a very steady, nice sounding man, who is into cycling as much as I am, if not more. Please make sure I don't weird out/retreat/freak out and do all those things I've done in the past. Please let him NOT have serious issues/baggage/problems and be capable of a relationship.

Yours truly,
Me

good luck, DeeDolce!

Dear trickster who is in charge of it all.
Is hope so bad? We had the other team in charge for how many years now? What would be wrong with giving a new face a chance, someone who people can believe in, and look forward to hearing him open his mouth? Someone we can look up to and follow, instead of groaning every time he opens his mouth or vetoes yet another good bill.

Can't we be great again? can't we try? can't we hope?

Thanks

Dear Mimitabby,

I think you should enter your artwork in the next U.S. Postal stamp competition. Your work is beautiful and it would boost the morale of cyclists worldwide.

Is it available for sale? I want to hang a bike frame above my fireplace, but I'm a little uncomfortable with the idea of hanging one above the piano! A painting of a bike would be beautiful right there. Maybe one for the bedroom too, a really sexy bike.

Dear Man Down the Street

Today when I was driving home I saw you standing at the curb talking to someone while your wildly out of control dog ran around peeing on other people's lawns.

All I could think was that I was glad I wasn't riding by on my bike with my dog at that moment.

Your dog goes berserk whenever we even walk by your house, banging on the glass, roaring, ALmost leaping over the fence in her frenzy to get to us. If we had been rolling by while she was out..someone might be in the hospital this evening....

I don't get it. If you can't even control your dog while she's INSIDE your house, what on earth would make you believe that she's going to listen to you outside when freedom beckons?

And No I DON'T CARE if you think "she's friendly"...How would you like to be walking down the street minding your own business and have someone run right up into your face demanding your attention, punching you in the arm, slapping you on the back, pinching your butt? Well, that's what its like for other people's dogs when your "friendly dog" barrels up to them. I don't think you'd like it anymore than they do. And at that moment I'm not terribly concerned with appearing friendly myself.

If you're going to have a dog, please take the time to teach her at least basic manners....for everyone's safety, well being and freedom to move around in the world un harrassed. Hers included.

your P O'd and unfriendly neighbor.

Dear Coach,

Thank you for making me turn some of my beliefs about myself inside out so I can get on with getting better at what I do.

Dear Mother Nature, Powers that be, Universe... Who ever's in charge of doling out genes, luck etc,

Thank you for giving me the health and strength to take my body to limits that many people could not. I am truly fortunate and I will try very hard to never take it for granted.

Sincerely,

Crazy running girl.

[IFjane]

I totally agree!

Me three - Mimi, it's fabulous. I'll buy lots of stamps.....(or prints - ohhhhh, you could sell 'em on TE! )
