Reaching your minimum is such a great feeling. You'll make that $8000. I know it.

Dear BIL,
Really another vehicle, don't you ever feel embarrassed. I realize you are a "doctor" but good grief, share some of your wealth with the less fortunate. I don't enjoy visiting my sister anymore as the over indulging lifestyle you two have adopted just makes me sad. OH and yes, we do have a website, I know, it is shocking to think your "poor" relatives know how to write and may have something to offer to the rest of the world.
Dear Little bro,
Thank you for having such a wonderful family, helps to offset the pain of visiting the family note above

Dear various hammerheads on trail:
For your information, the ox-like sounds of your breathing do not qualify as giving an audible signal when passing, especially not on a windy day.

Loved the "ox-like sounds" part.

Dear online continuing education, thank you for existing. With your help, I finally scored the first 'A' grade in about...a decade and get a second shot at school again. That feeling of finally achieving something you watched your peers so effortlessly achieve but somehow you've never managed to? Fantabulous. Just frickin' fantabulous. Never mind that it's about 5 years later.

Dear PRN therapist..I respect you for your clinical skill but please please tone it down a bit. You are quite loud and are a close talker. Please get the hint when I sit on my desk and lean way back away from you as you continue to lean in towards me. Also please don't belittle me in front of my patients and or the nurses. You only work in this building on the occasional weekend and weekdays. Putting me down or blaming me for our missunderstandings makes for a tough work environment. Please grow up...you are 63.

Dear Co-Worker,

This is none of my business but I want to say something so badly that I can almost taste it. You are a young man with children and a happy marriage - you and your family rock. Do you have the slightest idea what it does to your body to eat no less than 3 hot dogs + buns (3) for lunch every single day? When you don't have 3 hot dogs lined up, you have three big sausages lined up. The microwave is outside of my door so I don't have to look to see what you are eating, the nose tells all. You have done this for well over a year now.

You look like you are in good shape, and you do active things with your family - but this can't be good for your heart health in the long term. However, it is indeed your body, and your choice what you put in it. At least you don't have to wonder what you will have for lunch...there, now I have it out of my system.

Your nosy co-worker

Dear university tutoring service:
Okay, how do I not meet your needs? I suspect it has something to do with the fact that I'm not eligible for work-study.
Continuing the job search with a due sense of resignation,
Me.

Dear universe:
If you could somehow point me in the direction of (legal!) part time work that would take into account my school schedule and let me finish my thesis, that would be pretty awesome. The university either wants ALL OF MY TIME, undergrads, or work-study students.
