Dear So and So

[indysteel]

((((Owlie)))). When will you get to see him next?

((((Owlie)))). When will you get to see him next?

No clue, unfortunately. He was hoping for spring break, but I don't think our breaks overlap. Even if they did, I would still have to be in the lab for that week, so we couldn't spend that much time together. Right now, we're thinking summer, and I could take a week off and visit him. (My advisor has been really good about letting me take this week off, but I don't want abuse the privilege.) I got to see DBF for a week, and I'll take what I can get, considering that I haven't seen him since May. I have a feeling, though, that we won't get to see each other predictably until one or both of us graduates.

Big hugs, Owlie. My BF is off to Canada for 3 weeks and I missed him the second he left. Only 18 days left...

Take heart, Owlie! My partner and I were long distance for THREE YEARS before we were able to be together in one place. We only saw each other once every two-three months, sometimes for a weekend at a time. Skype was our friend. We will probably both die of matching tumors from cell phone usage. Now he and I live together. If he is worth the wait, then wait!

He's totally worth it. We've done the long-distance thing before (he had a co-op with an airline, so he got free flights), but not for this long and it certainly wasn't open-ended as this is. We're looking at about a year and a half for him, and at least that much for me. More motivation to finish up faster, right?

Dear bicycle:
You need a sibling. Not because I don't love you, but because if you need to go to the doctor (as you do now), I would like to be able to do things.
Love,
Me.

It's frustrating, isn't it Owlie? I hate the schedule coordination of long-distance.


Dear people who drive,
Please take the time to wipe the snow toupee off of your car. Not only is it illegal to leave it, it's really dangerous for everyone behind you when a 10" deep clump of snow flies off and smacks their windshield. Your time isn't more important than someone else's life.

Your time isn't more important than someone else's life.

I'm tempted to design a cycling jersey with that message, but it would likely pizz off the target audience and make matters worse.

Dear AE firm working on the project plans,
You said two weeks ago you'd get the deliverables to me by today at the latest. I am NOT happy that I had to explain to the poor schlepps left in the office at 3:00 this afternoon what I needed. Getting information today was like pulling teeth.

You should be expecting a call from me if the remaining deliverables aren't in my "in" box tuesday morning.

Sign me,
next time if I have a say in it, I'll vote for in-house engineering and not A/E out
