    That's terrific Pax. I wish I could get my mom out of the house for something other than doctor appointments.

    Dear GI Doc's office,
    It would have been really nice if you warned me off the seeds and nuts prior to today's exam. Apparently they are "persistant" in the GI track, so now I have the opportunity to repeat the prep and the exam.

    Dear sleep cycle:
    Can we please get back on track before Sunday? That would be awesome.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    Dear BIL,
    The thanks I get for helping support your family for the past few years, is an email asking me to co-sign on a loan to fund the family's education? Could you at least acknowledge the fact that I've been sending DS (your DW) a check, monthly, and most recently bought a gift card at the local grocer. So you want to get a PhD?! You've had a scheme for things "working out" for as long as I've known you.

    There will be no more blood out of this rock. For my DS, the monthly checks will continue, but I will never co-sign on a loan with you.

    Dear "instructional team leader":

    Yes, I am owning up to having screwed up a few times and have made a serious effort to be more organized this year. In spite of making that effort, or maybe because I've been hyper-conscious about it, after the last thing, I apparently messed up again. Given all that I should have just directly asked you to help out and check that student's records folder for me - that one you had told me to look up. I had a 14 hour day yesterday and at lunch I had students doing make-up labs and a lunch detention customer. It would have avoided a lot of unpleasantry. I didn't even have time to check my email between 8 and 11:30. But technically, you aren't my supervisor and I think you are overstepping your authority. Yes, I should have asked for help but you could have had the graciousness to offer instead of chewing me out.

    I know you won't change and will be watching me for every little detail I may miss this year .... But I feel better for writing this.
