Dear So and So

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

To whom it may concern.

I don't know how it happened, but after nearly 10,000 posts, I decided to start over. What did i say 10,000 times? who knows.

It's hard to deal with this!

It's like you had a lobotomy or something.

I feel like I'm in mourning for the very essence of Mimitabby. You have severed yourself from all the accumulated wisdom and joy of life that you have contributed over the past several years.

Dear Lovegods and TE galpals,

Just wanted to update. My ldr fella is moving one state closer, and plans to relocate here in a year. He's becoming more wonderful, and I'm close to adoring him right back! Racer guy was diverted to a single cycling aquantance (2nd 'date' we've shared! That's what we get for being the few and only singles in our general age range and roadies in our small area, lol) and through the grapevine, I know I made the right choice!

Thanks. I'm happy!

How did you do that? Not that I want to, just curious....

Dear project manager,

Stop thinking you have to convince me that the Very Bad Idea put forth by your marketing squad is something other than a Very Bad Idea. Please remember that in the context of your project world, I am a mercenary. You don't have to get my buy-in to proceed with tanking your branding strategy.

The quality of *my* product--you know, that thing you're paying me to produce for you--is the same either way...and so is the amount for which you'll be invoiced. In fact, given the way you guys have managed to balloon this thing out from one large project into about thirty small and medium sized projects, means that you'll probably be invoiced for more than you would have if we had gone forward with the other concept. (more business owners = more people to talk to = more of my time spent in endless meetings + more time sifting through the noise to find the actual important stuff)

Also, just because I'm the only one pointing out that this is a Very Bad Idea, it does not mean that I am the only one who thinks so. It just means I'm the only one willing to say it out loud when People Who Make Decisions are in the room. In fact, if you actually talked to your team about anything other than Gantt charts, you would find out that no one is on board with this plan. That's right. Not a single person in analysis, design, dev, or even program management thinks this is the right direction. You should really be more worried about them...they actually work for your company.

As for me. I'm going back to working on my design collaboration games, and drawing comics. If you're going to give me work that I don't really care about, then I'm at least going to make it interesting for myself. (And turn it into something I can write/speak about for profit later.)

Regards,
Dex

just signed up again!

[emily_in_nc]

just signed up again!

Oh, I misunderstood -- you said something about not racking up points anymore, so I thought you had found some magic way of keeping your number of posts at 50! I see now that they are still expanding. I am sure you'll be ahead of me again in no time!

And I didn't even notice you were no longer mimitabby! You'll always be that to us, though....

Dear LBS,

When you place a special order for me, but you screw up and order the wrong item, could you maybe apologize and offer to order the correct item instead of saying "whatever" and just walking away from me? Oh, nevermind...I'll just order it on the internet myself next time, since you clearly don't need my business.

Dear Degenerate Gamblers,

There is no such thing as magic or luck, so quit blaming me for your losses. I am so sick of you negative degenerate a-holes, but the money is good so I put up with your BS. Want to know why you lose money, here is are a couple of hints, first of all, it is called gambling, not winning, second, look in the mirror, third, what is insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Want to know the real key to winning? Good timing!

Oh, and don't forget to tip your dealer

Dear Fraggle,

First of all, we call you that because you look like that red headed puppet from Fraggle Rock. Secondly, you need to leave me alone. I am sick and tired of your rude, crude and socially unacceptable behavior. I understand that you think that you are the answer to every male fantasy but I assure you that even if that were true here on Earth, you're "allure" does not work on me. And while we're on that subject, you need to stop telling people that I should be a guy so that I will fall in love with you and marry you. Refer to the previous statement and add that I'm not having a sex change operation. I'm a girl and I like it that way. And I'm permanently partnered to someone who hates you because of how you talk to me.
You have insulted me, harrassed me, embarrassed me, and even dislocated my thumb you red headed harpy from hell and while I don't understand why you still have a job I'm telling you to knock it off!!!
And since I'm on a roll I mention something else...I am a clinical assistant. You, regrettably, are an RN and therefore outrank me but that does not give you the right to ignore your patients. I routinely have 25 other patients and 4 other RN's that I have to answer to so you need to get off your *** and care for your patients. If I can't take them to the bathroom when they call because I'm busy then you have to do it. If they need cleaned up, it is your job to do that just as much as it's mine if I can't get there. I understand that you can do my job but I can't do yours, but that's not my problem. If you can find another RN out there to lick your a## and follow you around doing the "aide" work as well as help you do your "RN" work then have it. But until you find some nurse willing enough to sacrifice her self respect and dignity to be your lap dog I suggest you get with the program and take care of your patients.
One more thing, the next time you come up to me and tell me that any child that my partner and I have will not "really" be mine and therefore "invalidating" me as a parent and saying that my 10 year relationship is not considered valid because we're not a legally recognized couple I'm going to return the dislocated joint thing but i'm not stopping at your thumb.

(I'm sorry TE for the angry nature of this post, but I do feel better for having "gotten it out")

OMG, Gray. You need to contact the HR department about that harassment.
