Dear So and So

[jessmarimba]

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

Dear Body,

The last three nights I've only woken once each night with neck problems, this is a great improvement, thank you! Please continue and I promise I will behave and continue to follow doctor's orders



I also heard from a "crime victim's fund" that I applied to last spring after the dog bite, I thought they had rejected my application outright. All of a sudden they want to see my medical bills and receipts from the incident. It is trying to pay for that little disaster that first started to send my finances spiraling down...if they were to reimburse me for my part of the emergency room bill that would go far to getting me back where I want/need to be...trying not to get overly hopeful but it would be nice...

Catrin: I'm hoping at least a little money comes your way. That dog bite saga was nuts!

Dear bike shop--
I must say that the service at your new location is much nicer than at your old one, and more convenient for me. (Oh, and thank you for attempting to get in a 54cm Ruby for me to try!) Also, I wish you'd pay attention. My finances appreciate it, but seriously? Maybe you should check the underside of the bike more often.

She who bought a metric ton of shot blocks to try to make up for it.

Dear 54cm carbon Synapse:
You felt surprisingly good. Nice and responsive, but still a little bit long and more like I was sitting on top of you and less an extension of me.* Nice try. Sorry. Maybe your sister the SuperSix (or the CAAD10) might be a little more friendly?
*How much of this was the fact that the seatpost was set a little too high, combined with slippery platform pedals versus being an issue with the bike itself, I do not know.

Dear Self,

Yes, PMS and hormones suck. That doesn't give you free rein to stuff every carb and sugar laden thing within 30 miles in your face.

Sincerely,

Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels.

Dear external hard drive
Where are you?
