Dear T,

I think you are being so incredibly immature that I can't even believe I am speaking to the same person I was dating for 4 months. You broke it off with ME, so I get to hold the grudge NOT you.....stop acting like you are the victim in this whole thing, and stop telling lies to make you look like it. You're almost 27, not 12. You are being so damn frustrating, go get some help for your commitment issues and grow up.

[e1b2]

I've laid all the golden eggs I can for today. I've spoiled you, with fully-charged blackberry at bedside, in the bike or saddlebag on my few hours away from the establishment, on "vibrate" in church and at the theatre. I chase your balloons, tolerate being interrupted by the "speak to the hand" gesture when making a point, am your sounding board when YOUR boss (grand dame, also) does to you, what you do to me. The tip of my tongue is gone.

Two years ago, the day after my first mastectomy, you called me at home, and I came to the office to help you. The day of the second mastectomy, you called my husband while I was in recovery, and I came to the office the next day. I refused reconstruction, because of the time commitment. How crazy is that?

Last year, the week after my husband broke his back, while at home, I received an email stating "I know you've had family obligations lately......, but you need to do this....!" I did it.

Last month, the day of his heart-attack, you said "take all the time you need." The following day, you called me 4 times for help in responding to your boss, political personalities, an angry constituent.

And you ask to me to stay in cell phone range while I'm on leave, and that those I supervise do the same. (I have quietly refused to do that.) I also quietly challenge this edict, by seeking remoter and remoter weekend activities. The only rest I get, is when I am on a plane, you are on a plane, or your blackberry is dead.

I am living to work, and it's killing me. It's not the job, it's my loyalty to you, and my work ethic. But others, my firends, you supervise are paying for my inability to tell you "no." You expect the same from them, and the treatment they get for commiting to their families, and ability to leave work at work, is harsh and lasting.

While I survived the cancer, I'm overweight, an insomniac, high cholesterol, have aged 10 years in the last 5. My marriage is strong, but more to his credit than mine. I've not seen my children since March, as my plans are always changed for me.

And you wonder why invitations to socialize on weekends are turned down? This is a fragile and tenuous relationship, yours and mine. That there are few women in our organization, forces us together. That you are new and I am not, that I am the organizer, know the numbers, current on email and directives, makes your reliance on me painfully heavy.

So, when can we talk?

So, when can we talk?

Do it soon, for your sake!

[Selkie]

e1b2 - doesn't sound worth the cost, lass. the boss from hell indeed (control freak from hell might be more accurate?) maybe it's time to dust off the resume and encourage your friends to do likewise?

Good lord, has that woman ever worn a bra? Those b00bs are close to her navel!

well, there's a good chance she has and they are STILL nearly to her navel. I know especially since I'm losing weight, when you've had large boobs all your life, gravity SUCKS! When you lie on your back they're either in your armpits or choking you around your EARS..

[KnottedYet]

Even if you don't have large ones all your life (only while preggers and nursing) the saggy-baggy empties still end up in your armpits when you lie on your back. DPITA teases me about it.... but hey, hers are getting bigger as she is getting older, so I WILL GET MY REVENGE!!!

Dear BOOBS!
I always kidded that when I grew old and y'all dried up that I'd end up having to roll you puppies up to put you in a bra.. not too sure THAT was a joke at this point.

Not too happy about looking like something out of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC!

Dear Boob Complainers,

I had a pt last week (young, actually mom of a pt- 30ish?) who wants to have a boob job because she and her sister accuse eachother of having Ubangi Warrior Boobs! Nice mental image...

[mary9761]

Dear You know who you are,
I don't know why you thought you had to be such an @$$ at the ride the other day. Generally when someone says good morning or speaks to you the polite thing is to respond in kind. Don't say you were tired, you were speaking to everyone else quite coherently. And yeah, after the first slight it felt sooooo good for this fat @$$ on a hybrid to pass your SEVEN a 20+ mph even if it were only for a few moments. I don't know what crawled up yours but I didn't know guys could get ragtime!
I know I left breakfast ahead of the rest of the group, (knew none of you would be riding with me anyways) but did you REALLY have to take the SHORTCUT to pass me so I wouldn't beat you all to the next gathering point?? I was soooo close. That's ok! I got the best revenge, I FINISHED MY CENTURY and all you got was 41 miles because you didn't even finish the full ride much less ride the 25 miles to and from.
I hope you're in a better mood next time I see you and BTW, I don't forget a slight.. You really don't want to PIZZ me off anymore... you don't want to see me angry, I can be a real NIGHTMARE!

LOL, even as much as I don't care for them hangin so low, I was quite terrified when I thought I might lose one a few years ago when I found my first thankfully benign lump. I have lumps in the right one now and they believe they're the same.

Oh, I do hope "you know who you are" knows what you did!

And they aren't hot flashes. They're power surges!
