Dear So and So

[Blueberry]

He is an employee of a big university, but his position is grant funded. So, if the grant funding doesn't get renewed, he doesn't have a job anymore. His position is odd - it looks like a post doc, but he doesn't have a phd.

Dear convoluted and thorny legal issue: You're making my head hurt. I know I get paid to sort this kind of a thing out, but could the Westlaw gods please drop a case in my lap that's directly on-point? Thanks.

Dear Landscape Architect that graced us with her presence at today's project meeting:

1. You are NOT, repeat NOT the Project Manager. So nit-picking about other department's project schedule doesn't matter.
2. The project is a ecosystem restoration project, NOT an urban landscape project. Therefore beavers and flooding could happen, get over it.

Dear Self,
Next project team meeting, sit next to the Sargent Major - his calm demeanor will keep you from throttling the Landscape Architect as mentioned above.

Dear Sargent Major,
I'm really glad that life landed you in our office.


Self again - remember to play nice in the sandbox. You can't throw the sand in someone's eyes.

You're funny Sounds like some of our meetings. "Yes, power plants are visible. No, it doesn't necessarily help slapping ye olde fashion panelling on the outside and grass on the roof."

Dear lovely people on this thread,

you all made me LOL big time which I really needed after my week.

Dear work,

My room has some kids with really, really high behavioral needs. And I say that after having observed classes elsewhere. Sure, my kids can read and write but some of them STILL HAVE BIG BEHAVIORAL ISSUES. I can get maybe 15 minutes of teaching in a 4 hour day and those 15 minutes are conducted trying to make myself heard over the singing, screaming, flying objects and things being pushed over in the class. "You guys are still doing pretty ok" is NOT what I expect to hear from the intervention specialists simply because there are management issues.

Dear applicants to the position of my closest co-worker:

why, oh why are you applying for a position where you have to write - lots, coherently, and building up to a logically bombproof conclusion - if you can't even write a half-page application well? I've really tried to be nice, I know many of you are young and inexperienced, but the amount of crap I've had to wade through is just appalling. Youth is no excuse for being a pompous a**. Or writing sentences without a verb.

Dear Neck/Cervical Spine,

Thank you for improving as much as you have. You are probably 85% healed from the mtb trail fall/whiplash injury last October. I've been good, though I should do more stretching - that has fallen by the wayside since I was released from PT. Time to get back to it.

Bottom line, I want to ride my mountain bike this year and NOT on the road! Please don't make make me start wondering if I sold the wrong bike, it would be a shame if I only had one lonely mountain bike season because of you.
