Dear So and So

[bmccasland]

Dear people I work with. What part of out on medical leave do you not understand? My assistant is allowed to email me with questions, this does not mean you can send me work requests. Your emails will be deleted and not read.

//one more for the reasons to retire early column.

Dear friend/co-worker. When your department director says "do not email snap with work related questions" he meant you also. I will not answer or acknowledge your emails.

Apparently some are still having difficulty grasping the concept? I think you should show up with your scar highlighted AND the neck bolts. Maybe then they might get the notion.

naah.. probably not...

Extreme difficulty! I thought the problem had been fixed, until I opened my email tonight. A message full of exclamation points!!!!!!!!! How very professional!!!!!!!!

/snap is still pizzed.

Although the thought of some person sitting in their cube throwing a temper tantrum because Snap didn't answer!!!! is rather amusing.

Would it be a really bad thing if you replied but with wrong directions? "first send ouch this command, then this one and .... ouch oh, copy that file over here like ouch so and .. oh did that erase your hard drive? Oh how silly of me. Must be because I'm on disability and in pain!!!!!!!!!!! "

Yeah, don't do that. but they would leave you alone.

Dear universe,

I'm done. Really. I've reached my capacity for crap, so if you could hold off until I get one or two of these things dealt with, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Aw (((((((Dex))))))) Hoping it starts to lighten up for you real soon.

Dear Universe: What she said. Give her a break.

Dear driver who ran the red light in front of me this morning,

I realize that you getting where you need to go is more important than anything/anyone else, but having to lock up my brakes to come within inches of hitting you has caused my back to hurt again. It was healing up so well, please try to be more aware of others around you and understand the pain your actions can bring.

Sincerely,

Sore again

Thanks for backing me up, OakLeaf. I think it must have worked, because other than dealing with some some migraine aftermath, nothing truly crappy has happened today...and some of the other stuff looks like resolution is closer than it seemed (not incredibly soon, but there's a glimmer of light). The universe and I just may get back on friendly terms yet.

[bmccasland]

Dear Cosmic Juju,
Thanks for lightening up on Dex, but Pax probably didn't really need the scare of her life yesterday morning. I know I don't always get this yin and yang thing, but could things run smoothly for just a little tiny bit?

Pax - I hope your back is feeling better.

[Pax]

Thanks bmccasland, it's feeling fine today AND the sun is shining!!

Dear powers that be. I am starting feel like I am getting into a funk. Could just be hormonal, but gosh I don't want to feel blah during the holidays. Have not decorated as we have been fixing up the house, I may try to atleast hang the stocings.

Hey Solo....
Sounds to me like you are doing a lot of good things for a lot of people. It's OK to get in a funk. Embrace the funk and treat yourself for a bit (hot chocolate, a yummy breakfast out, a night of movies and popcorn in bed?)
I think funks are nature's way of making us slow down and think about ourselves for a change when we are strained with too many obligations.
And you know, fixing up your house IS decorating it!
Be good to yourself, you're worth it.

<singing to self> We want the funk... Give up the funk...


It was my 40th birthday, at Tipatina's in NO, and a bunch of Marsalis offshoots showed up to play a set. ... Gotta have that funk ...

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

Be One with the funk.
