Dear So and So

Dear wind,

Please stop !!!! Because of you, the bushfire's threating our friends house and quite a few others in two bushfires in Perth... I really don't appreciate it. You're not supposed to calm til tomorrow

Dear Fires, http://www.watoday.com.au/environmen...206-1ai22.html
Stop....

Crazycanuck, oh dear. Fingers crossed for a better change in the weather...

[bmccasland]

Let's see, y'all have had, fire and flood, dare I ask when is the insect invasion?
Hope your friend's house is safe.

Wow, CC. You guys need a break.

Dear people upstairs--
The one time I want to go to bed before midnight, you decide to play loud music, using the stereo that is apparently right over my bed. Thanks so much.

Dear winter--
You know, I'm getting sick of you. I can't go out and ride because of the slush all over the roads and it being too d*** cold. I can't go out for a walk/jog-thing because the sidewalks are by-and-large covered in a foot of snow and ice. I'm getting cabin fever! I'm also sick and tired of the lack of fruit and veggies. I suppose this means that I appreciate spring and summer all the more.

Dear admin,

Rather than complaining about the project, how about offering some constructive feedback so that I can make some useful changes? "These d@mn things suck" is not helpful.

Signed,

Dear Employer,

Getting to work from home most of the time is a great benefit that I am truly thankful for. And last week, during the blizzard, giving the employees a paid "holiday" because of the weather was a good thing too. I just wish you'd extend part of that benefit to your home office employees. Every daycare and school was closed in the area. Finding babysitting for the day was really difficult. And to shovel ourselves out to deliver the children to a babysitter took hours. However I still managed to get in 4 hours of work. Had I known that the Paid time off would not have been extended to me, I would have worked on Saturday to make up the remaining time. I was hoping to save my vacation time for vacation.

Carytown Teas. They ship (but lucky for me I can ride my bike there)

Owlie, I sent you a PM on the tea thing.

Dear TE'ers:

it's killing me til not comment on the dancing school spam post, but I'll be a really good girl this time and let it disappear by itself. (Or by moderator, as the case may be).

But surely here I can snicker at it.

"Dancing is a pleasurable commotion for all ages and all juncture."
"Our classes are familiarized in the direction of duos and we do not necessitate duos to spin."

Oh my.

Oh my.

Here is another one:

"In the present day, nearly all populace go to dances to dance with their collaborator" Makes it sound like an illegal activity

At least it IS in the "way off topic" forum

It does make you wonder how much spam the moderator catches, probably far more than we realize...

[crazycanuck]

I reported the post as spam...
-------
Just letting you know our friend's house is ok & was not damaged in the fire. I think they were a smidgen of a bit away from the area but they evacuated anyways.

A gent accidentally started the fire w his axle grinder..http://www.watoday.com.au/environmen...208-1akku.html. Apparently there was a TFB at the time as well...I don't know if i could live with myself knowing that i'd helped destroy 71 houses

I dearly hope the forecasted high winds this weekend don't spark another one.

Dear Self:

1) You do NOT want another baby.
2) Mind your own business.
3) Think spring. February is a short month. And you always get to go on a nice outdoor ride in March. Hang in there!

Dear manager to whom I do not report:

I don't care if you are the CEO of our big-a$$, gigandawanda company. Your title alone is not enough for me to bump you to the top of the list. If you want to meet with me, tell me WHY you come before sales and revenue-related commitments I have already made.

And b!tchy responses just make me even more likely to hold my ground to follow directives given by my manager and expectations from sales mgmt all the way to the top of our big-a$$, gigandawanda company that is in the last quarter of the fiscal year. Contracts and moolah come first, not your title.

Dear parents--
Please get off my back.

[SadieKate]

Dear Owlie,

I think that's in their job description.

PS - But I am sooo with you!

[crazycanuck]

I received a message from a friend informing me that thier parents house was lost in the bushfire on the weekend
