Dear Versus ad execs,
Did you know if you charge more for ads, you can air less ads and more le Tour?
Dear New Department Head,
Well, let's see, so far we know you pop off if you're stressed, kill the messinger, don't say what you mean and don't mean what you say. You promise something and that's the last we ever hear of it, and you're the last to arrive at work and the first to leave. From your work history you've been two years here, two years there, going back and back and back in time. So we guess we're all ready about 35% of the way through your tenure here, and we can just about hold our breaths until whatever moves you, moves you on to the next set of victims. Bon voyage, pal, and the sooner the better.
Oh, P.S. We've notice that you have the same two backstabbers whispering in your ear as your predecessor. Look what it got him to listen to them.

Dear good friend,
I love you like a sister, but this flaky wierdness has got to go. We signed up for the Breast Cancer walk almost a year ago. And now, a little over a month out you tell me you don't think you can do it? (and not even through a phone call or face to face, but through an online message?!?) You can't raise the money and don't have the time to train. I don't appreciate being left high and dry. And I don't think it's good karma to sign up for a charity walk and promise to raise money then back out like that. It's not really that you're too busy or that you don't have time, I know people who are incredibly, mind boggling-ly busy who find both the time and energy to train.
I don't want get angry at you about it but I can't help but feel incredibly frustrated and kind of hurt. Why did you sign up in the first place? I guess you just didn't want it bad enough.
Sigh.
Sincerely,
Your confused friend
dear people who for some reason or another seem to not like me anymore,
I honestly don't know what I did to earn your displeasure. If I offended you in some way, I wish you would have told me instead of giving me the cold shoulder. When I inquired to find out what happened, my correspondence remained unanswered. One day I thought we would be able to be in touch with each other, the next... gone.. poof with no explanation. I appreciate what you've done for me and miss communication with you.
Signed,

Dear thief,
It was so nice of you to find my wallet and phone and decide to use them rather than return them. It would have been oh so difficult to open my phone and call home in the phonebook, or to look at my drivers license and walk the 3 blocks to my house.
Too bad I figured out a way to get my phone # and minutes back (its a prepaid phone - not a plan) from you. I just took a call today from your storage unit company. I've been ignoring calls for you to this point, but since I answered it today I figured I'd tell them that you stole my phone and that it was useless to call that number to get you anymore. He told me that you gave my phone number as your primary contact and only have until the end of today to pay your rent or lose your stuff. I'd like to ask your friend who phoned me and called me a "stupid b*tch", who is the stupid one now?
Doesn't it sting when karma bites you on the butt....

Dear A T &T:
When you call me at the office to try and sell me an upgrade, I will not buy it. I don't buy anything from anybody who bothers me over the phone. I keep telling you that and you keep calling.
I think I'm going to buy a whistle. Or maybe an air horn.
Dear Maya the Dog,
You are with us now. We will take care of everything. There is no need to put your hackles up when people are walking down the opposite side of the street. There is no need to bark and charge the door like a wolverine when people come a-visiting. There is no need to startle and whip your head around at the smallest sounds. We know you more practice, but in the meantime, feel free to open your mouth every once in awhile. You can do the doggie smile. You can relax. We promise we won't let anything bad happen to you or to us.
Love,
Mom and Dad
Dear Surgeon,
If you don't think I can handle the results of my biopsy without a personal call from you, how in the world do you think I gave informed consent to the procedure? Just wondering.
P.S. Do you plan to call me any time soon? Because I'm making an appointment with Medical Records. I have a right to my pathology report under State law.
