    Dear Stupid,

    I'm really glad you're riding your bike to the gym, but if you're going to ride it, and lock it up, at least know the RIGHT way to lock it up. As in go through YOUR frame, not your quick release back wheel and then through MY frame thus locking my bike up and not yours.

    Hope you learned something from the note I left you.

    Sincerely,

    Me

    review of breakfast

    Dear Herald,
    Would you please hold down your breakfast? Coming "home" to the hotel, to find you've tossed breakfast, again, is not exactly pleasant. You hold down dinner and it's the same thing. I don't understand. Am I going to need to add a Vet bill to my VISA card?

    Oh wow pinky, that had to be a pain!

    And bmccasland - I wonder if it's just stress? You just moved, right? My cats will do that sometimes if I've been gone - eat and then puke it all right up within half an hour or so. It's pretty disgusting, but if dinner is staying down Herald is probably ok.

    inquiring minds want to know how you got free if the chain was through his wheel- even taking it off of the bike wouldn't quite work although I would have done that just to say thank you.

    I considered taking the frame, picking up another ill-locked back wheel and riding home, but thought that would be viewed as stealing Totally considered it though. I made SO ride home and come back with the car since I wasn't interested in walking 3 miles in the dark. Then drove back to pick up my baby after dinner. Dumbass tore up my note and stuck it in random places...guess she didn't like the correction

    While I waited I found a mtb with nothing but a U-lock locked to his front wheel and sitting on the ground...coulda found an extra front wheel quite easily too

    Wanna bet 90% of stolen bikes were people who didn't know how to lock it up right?

    Dear Pedestrian:

    When I quickly flicked my lights to let you know that I was stopping for you, and stopped several car lengths from where you were crossing, coming at my car in a threatening manner, shaking your fist *with a baby carrier on your arm* was really not smart. And not appreciated. I don't know how you could have thought I was being anything but courteous. I hope the female you were with gives you a stern talking to. Safe travels, d!ck head.

    Dear Person who made my Boots,

    I know you are out there, because these boots were clearly made by a person who knew how to make boots for human feet like the ones I have at the bottom of my legs.

    Thank you. You did good work.

    That the boots you made ended up Nordstrom Rack must not be taken as any kind of insult, rather it is the miracle that led them to my feet where they have nourished my body and soul which were both pretty much in need right now.

    *insert the blessing of your choice here*
    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

    cutting and pasting with abandon

    Dear former document writer,
    When you cut and paste information from another document, with the intent to go back and edit it later to the pertinent information for the particular project at hand, could you at least mark the erroneous information with a different font or color? It makes finding the sections that need editing easier - even for yourself. Kind of embarrassing to send a completed document over to the client with photos of adjacent property that are actually miles away, or references to a creek that isn't there. Let alone makes it extremely difficult for someone else to pick up your lousy work and fix it. I want to choke you right about now. Good thing you're teleworking.

    Dear Coworker -- Stay home when you're sick. And if you insist on coming in to work sick, it would be nice if you didn't chose that particular day to hang around my work area, talking to yourself, constantly clearing the thick phlegm from your throat, and sneezing. I'm seeking Divine Intervention in co-existing gracefully with your Type A, OCD personality (and I thought your gum cracking/snapping/bubble blowing and negative comments were bad.....). When you're sick and spreading germs, it's a greater challenge.
