    Dear woman from the Ohio EPA:

    If you see in my email signature that I live in Colorado, don't call my cell phone after I don't answer at the office at 8am EST. There's a time change that makes it 6 am here and I will not be happy to hear from you.

    Also, for the love of all things you hold dear, stop using apostrophes to pluralize words! You're putting the English language to shame. (I might have forgiven your poor email skills had you not called so early but the wrath of the grammar demon has been awakened).

    Grumpily yours,
    ZZZzzzzZZZZZzzzzz

    It's the Ohio E"P"A. You wouldn't have had any reason to know ... but now you do.

    Oak, I should have already known. Once I finally talked to her I realized I've dealt with her before and the intervening year or so has not helped her temperament. Yeesh.

    Selkie, tgi-weekend!

    Dear Self,
    Give me patience to deal with DH's family today. I don't want to have to use my professional skills with them.

    Dear coworkers,

    I've trained you both, I'm thrilled to see you doing so well at your jobs, and I'm glad that you're helping each other out with workload. So why do I suddenly feel like persona non grata to you?

    Signed,
    Lonely

    Dear self:

    Why so moody lately? Is it the weather? Your period? The horrible case you're working on? All the above? It's okay to not be in a great mood all the time, but when you start to perceive it as chronic, there's a problem, okay? So, be sure to talk to someone about it. I think you could use a good cry, too, so why don't you put on a sad movie tonight and get a bit of it out of your system? ((((Self)))).
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    --Mary Anne Radmacher
