Dear So and So

[Owlie]

Dear person I'm supposed to be shadowing:
Where are you? The PI said you get here around 10. It's 11. I've been here since 8. You're wasting my time--and it's a lovely day and I could be riding my bike.

Grr.

Dear co-worker,

You try to be a gruff and surly guy , but in reality you're very sweet. Thanks for the coffee shop gift card and the apology for being grumpy yesterday.

Signed,

Your happy co-worker

Dear Side Walk Cyclist,

You're probably lucky I wasn't driving and I'm not your typical inattentive person on the road.... Not only were you riding relatively fast downhill on the sidewalk, you totally blew through a solid "don't walk" after the light was green for me.... What really blew my mind is that you giggled... Had I been a typical car driver, not been able to see as well, hear you, check myself from moving as quickly and also not looking for someone to come off the sidewalk like that... I might have hit you and it really would not have been a laughing matter. It wouldn't have been funny if I had started forward and you'd T-boned me on my bike either....

I'm generally willing to defend cyclists, even if they aren't doing something popular, as long as they are at least following the rules, but you girlie were really working hard at becoming a casualty and I would not have been able to defend you at all....

Dear body (especially you, leg muscles!):
I think we need to do some work when it comes to the "running"/longer-distance brisk walking thing. We'll try that again tomorrow morning before I have to go into the lab. Fear not, we're going on a ride this weekend!

Dear Boss Lady,

Stop giving me bad stuff to work on. The bad stuff takes all day, and then we can't use it, because, you know, it's bad. Only now, it's bad + cost of labor, and that's worse than starting over right away would have been.

I'm trying to save you money. Trust me (and yourself) to know when something is bad, and get off YOUR butt and start over. It's going to happen in the end anyway, so just do it from the start, without torturing me first.

Dear Handsome Men of the LBS, Vegas Edition,

Bring me that. Thank you.

Dear Allegra,

I am banned from buying you until Saturday after going to the store to get more the other day. LOL. This is so stupid.


I hate allergies but I think I'm not buying your product any more. Stupid meth addicts.

Dear parents of high achieving students

Thank you so much for showing up to conferences today. It's always a pleasure to speak with you and praise the efforts of your hard-working and cooperative children.

Dear parents of struggling students- I sure wish that more of you would join us during parent-teacher conferences. Your kids need your help and support to get through 7th grade successfully, and we'd like to communicate with you about their strengths and difficulties so we can work together.

Some people should just get out of the gene pool.

Dear Vacation Gods: Please make our Katy Trail tour a great one. In particular, I'd like good weather and good health. No storms--thunder or thyroid, no snake bites, no sinus infections or allergy attacks, etc., etc. Comfy beds, warm showers and good food would be nice, too.

Thank you,

Your usually enthusiastic, but slightly nervous this time around, servant

[Owlie]

Fingers crossed, Indy!

Dear university pool:
Thank you so much for having your open swim times be exactly when I don't have time! If they were in the evening (like 6pm-9pm), that would be great, but no, they're 12-6. I'm in class during all those times two days a week, and during the other three, I'm in a lab and my schedule is totally unpredictable. While I could theoretically swim on weekends, that's my riding/housework/catch-up on homework time.
Gr...
(Also, thanks for charging exorbitant locker fees.)

Bethany, UGH. That's...all kind of ridiculous.

Dear Pear Izumi shorts,

You guys were my last hope for trying to like padded shorts. Unfortunately, out of three rides, you've given me saddle sores TWICE. No amount of vaseline, antiseptic powder, scrubbing with soap before and after rides and Savlon would help. I'm sticking with the Orca 226 shorts from now on.

Now what am I to do with a perfectly new pair of tri shorts that suck?

It's not Allegra's fault....(it will be the same with any decongestant of any brand)
If you want to blame someone it is the meth addicts and the FDA.....
You can get as much regular Allegra as you want, just not the decongestant kind.

Dear Alexis
you can sell your shorts here on TE. I have two pairs of shorts i have bought from other TE ladies and .. NO REGRETS!

Dear MA Association of Mental Health Counselors,
You have a lot of nerve charging 400.00+ dollars for your exam review course. I've had 2 days of you reading to me from the book, all in preparation for today's simulations. This could have been done in 4 hours.
Plus, a presenter who has word finding problems and falls asleep when he other person is speaking is not fit to be a presenter. I know I chose this profession so I could work until I am old, but really, does this woman fall asleep when she is listening to her clients????
And your publications/transparencies are filled with spelling errors.

I won't even talk about the people in this class who have failed the exam 5 times and are out there working. How did you get a graduate degree?? I know it wasn't where I went to school.
