To the dear teenage boy who said, "Go granny go" as I rode by this morning. Thank you.

You're right. I'm old enough to be a granny. I'm overweight. I was in my granny gear. I didn't have enough breath left to snark at you.

But you've inspired me. One of these days I'm going to be a stronger rider. And I'm going to be watching for you.

Dear coaches, captains and mentors. Hope you're having a great time in Istanbul, while those of us trying to train without your guidance get ready for the Nike, Big Sur and Honolulu marathons. What would make you think it was OK to volunteer to work with the fall season team, then concentrate on your own marathon training and disregard the team. You canceled our track training sessions two months early, so you could go to Turkey.

I'm sure the Shoes and Gear clinic would have been really helpful to our new team members at the beginning of the season. Why is it scheduled for the end of October, when most of us have completed our events?

Yeah, I'm throwing you all under the bus on the end of season evaluation.

Dear Today,

Stop being so crappy. It's only 9:00am. I'm not happy that my parents need to have their olllld dog (from when I was in high school) put down, and I'm not happy that my insulin pump threw an error code and is being replaced under warranty *again*.

Please tell me that Tomorrow will be my friend.

Dear work MGMT,

Whatever died in our office ceiling over the weekend - WONT GO AWAY! Its dead, it smells - why wont you send someone to fetch it?
I had to clean up blood, from that poor lady that fell down the escalator, BECAUSE SOMEONE LEFT IT ALL OVER FLOOR, smearing it with paper towels and hiding it with a fixture - ewwww!! I cleaned it up and I am not mgmt and not first aid!

Im not going up there and getting it out and if I have to, Im leaving it in the MGMT OFFICE!!!
I MEAN IT.
I love you guys but you suck.

Pick something, already!

Me.

Dear MGMT,

we still want that rat removed. Im sure that over the weekend, it will get worse.
So we have installed fans to blow the smell into the hallway and thus, out the door to the selling floor.

I am hoping its moldering ceiling insulation from the crappy builders who made this place( and indeed ,the rest of the mall that periodically floods).

This sucks!

Dear LBS,
When I asked if you could remove my crank you said sure. When I asked you if you wanted to give me a ticket for my frame (to charge me) you said no - I'll take care of it. So why did you charge me $42 to remove it without calling me?! You knew it was on ebay and now I'm loosing money on it. I am angry - but mostly at myself for not making sure it was crystal clear. I'm peeved at you for not calling to make sure it was ok to take it off at that price knowing I was selling it via auction.
