Dear District Tech People;

Next time update the report cards when the report data entry window is closed. Maybe that way you won't lose people's work. What moron decided that this was a good time to do an update?

A very disgruntled teacher

Dear Principal,

Just to clarify, I WILL not be be re-entering my report cards on MY time. I did that once already and I can hold a conference without that little piece of paper if necessary. You're lucky I'm willing to bring in my own computer and hotspot, because if tried to do this work on a district computer, you know the ones that take 30 minutes to boot up, I'd be lucky to finish before spring break!

V- Wait....there was no back-up of all data *before* the upgrade?!? I am so sorry that you have to deal with this!

[Veronica]

Dear Computer Gods,

You have a sick sense of humor. Ten minutes after finishing reentering all my report data, 29 grades for each student! I get an email from the tech department saying they have recovered my data. Yes, it took them a week.

I could have been riding my bike!

Sick b@stards!

Nooo!

I think your computer people are the same as ours. I locked myself out of my campus self-service thingy (different password than the email/Blackboard system, and I don't use it anywhere near as often), e-mailed a week ago and I'm still locked out.

Dear Honda sales guy,

I don't know if I'm happy or not that you persuaded us (especially my DH), to trade in our 2010 Honda Fit for a 2013 model while we were in buying 2 new tires. On the one hand, the payments are not that much more and the interest rate is fantastic, we now have a brand new car with 18 miles on the odometer, and the blue matches my bike perfectly. On the other hand....we are going to owe $260 a month for 5 more years, instead of $212 a month for 26 months....

Dear [REGIONAL BUS SERVICE OPERATOR]:

You suck. I have been on the phone with you constantly about your operation of a bus you just took over since you took a good bus and made it crappy. Now, we need new parking permits to park in a commuter garage that is the ONLY place to park and ride in a city with very limited bus service going into neighborhoods (so people can't take the bus all the way). There aren't enough of the permits for everyone who wants one (by a long shot), but you sent an email saying they could be picked up as of 6AM today (the new ones - I have one, but you changed your gate system on really short notice). Given that you don't have enough of them, I figured I needed to be early. It seems you can't read or don't know your own hours, since the office doesn't open until 8:30 (after I got up at 5:30 to be there at 6, I discovered this).

You are supposed to be getting an additional sales tax revenue (we have bumped our sales tax to fund you so you can actually provide service that's worth a d@mn). I'm a huge environmental person, and therefore mass transit supporter. But - you've finally frustrated me to the point that I think we should give up on it. You are incompetent and inefficient, and I can only imagine how many new ways you'll find to waste that extra money without actually providing any better service. #FAIL

Signed,

Grumpy to have gotten up this early and now not have time to exercise

Dear teeth: Work with me here. I've already invested quite enough in you over the last few years thanks to four years of braces. I really hate having to spend a grand on a crown.

Bummer, but unfortunately, sometimes it can't be helped. Just be glad if you don't need a root canal as well. I have a mouth full of crowns and a couple of root canals. And this was after cavities as a child and braces as well. Thank goodness nearly all my teeth have been fixed now, so dental check-ups are a bit easier as they're pretty much just about cleanings and making sure my gums are okay (another fun issue as you age). I get such compliments on how pretty my teeth are, and I think "they should be, they sure have cost me enough!"

Dear car:

I do not need this right now. And I just paid your insurance!

Dear Motivation -

I have a lot to do this week. Would you mind showing your happy self up so I can get it done?

Sincerely,

Me

Dear Ears, Nose and Throat:

It's been three weeks. Please clear up already.

[OakLeaf]

Ugh. I have fired actually *two* doctors, one of whom I really liked, because their staff made it impossible. Not having me in the book when I showed up for my appointment, calling me for "missed" appointments that I didn't and wouldn't have scheduled, billing weirdness that I'm pretty sure was some kind of insurance fraud... Hope you can get things worked out with your vet!

[Becky]

Nevermind.

Dear Audible.com,

Why I am so "special" that I don't qualify for your introductory offer - one free download and 30 day trial membership? I tried to go through your regular website and other discount websites - same thing. I don't want to pay for something & find out that transferring it to my Apple device will be a PIA. Bleech!
