Dear Excitement,

When we ask for excitement at work, what you dealt out today was rather interesting Thankfully we're all ok *phew*

Umm..sheep kapoopies might be a good word....

No more excitement for a while ok!!!

They're EVERYWHERE!

Don't forget the thirty-something-or-other know-it-alls! They're everywhere too!

Dear Universe,

I give up. I'll do anything you want if you'll just let my back stop hurting enough to sleep. I'm a zombie and I'm completely useless at home and work. What do you want from me?

Your exhausted faithful servant,

Pax

They stuck a needle full of cortisone in my spine last week, the doc said no stretching until I see her next week.

Dear Ebay Sellers:

Please accurately describe your items. Especially if you are a bike shop and selling a bike on Ebay. Significant rust in tubes should have been disclosed in the item description (and no, 500 miles of riding does NOT include expecting flaking rust). As should the fact that you took black paint and tried to cover over major scraping on the crank and the rear derailleur. I pity the people who have to deal with you as a shop on a regular basis. At least I used paypal and a credit card - so I have lots of options against you.

PS - Nope - this is NOT anyone that has ever sold anything on TE!

We're not all know-it-alls!

You are absolutely right! I've worked with some really neat youngsters. In fact most of them are. Like any other age group, one bad apple spoils the whole barrel!

When you get to be "Of a certain age", and you've spent all that time being a team player and following the rules, and some little one comes along and makes a profession of breaking as many as possible, and gets away with it..well...it doesn't foster a great relationship.

That's true of any age.... I work with someone who's a good 15 years older than me, and has burned every professional bridge that they've ever built.... Personality seems to be a much bigger factor than age. Unfortunately, there are folks here, management and not, who are intimidated by this behavior, and it goes unchecked.

Hey! We're not all know-it-alls! I promise! (some of us are actually quarter-life-crisis-how-am-i-going-to-get-a-job-and-start-a-life-of-my-owns )

Indeed true!
But I thought we were only complaining about the '20-30-something know-it-alls'.....NOT complaining about ALL 20-30 years olds! Big difference.

Dear neighbour with the puppy,

yes, I know your itsy bitsy teeny weeny ball-of-fur Pomeranian puppy is cute. But letting him stand and yap at me without correction as I stand in my own driveway is NOT. Would you let him do that if it was a honking huge Rottweiler?? I like dogs, but I cannot stand yappy little dogs that are allowed to misbehave just because they look like tiny snowballs instead of being intimidating. So be the pack leader you're supposed to be, and teach your dog how to behave while you still can. Or I swear I will do it for you.
