Open Letter Wednesday

Dear H's employer,

Suck it. Seriously, how do you justify sending H to work 14-hour days for 17 days straight without ANY compensation of any kind?? He is going to go insane! In case you can't do math, he has been traveling 60% of the time, but his contract states less than 25% travel. Fuuck you.

Sincerely,
Wife who really misses her husband

    Dear BF,

    I know it's difficult right now. And no, I don't know what's going to happen. I wish you'd be more interested in counseling to work on communication issues.

    Love,
    The gal who needs more space

    Dear new apartment,

    I LOVE YOU. I CAN'T WAIT TO LIVE THERE.

    Love,
    Your New BFF

    Dear parents,

    Please quit spazzing. I'm almost 29. I can make my own decisions, financial and emotional. Swear. I'd appreciate your support right now.

    Love,
    Your daughter, you know, the responsible  one. Not the crazy one. (It would help if you quit treating me like I was the crazy one). 

    Dear NYErs:

    Amo Latinam Linguam. It's not an uppity thing. It's a passion thing. On the bright or negative side... school is about to start again, so you'll see much less of it.

    Cum amore,

    Dearest patients,

    I appreciate that the tubes have an awkward optical illusion going on, but I'm not draining you dry, so you don't have to keep telling me you're going to need a blood transfusion or an iron infusion from all of the blood I'm taking from you. I hear it every. single. day. and it's getting very annoying.

    And by the way, I just took 22.5 mL. In layman's terms, that's four and a half teaspoons. I think your hemoglobin's gonna be just fine, home slice.

    Yours,

    Nursey nurse nurse

    Dude I seriously love seeing other people speak languages I don't understand, so if you need to like... get your Latin on, Facebook message me or PM me. I love seeing the Latin with English translations because I like seeing how the grammar works and seeing if there are any cognates. I LOVE LANGUAGE D:!!!

    Dear Work,

    I really didn't want to still be here at this point. But now, as we inch closer & closer to football season starting, I'm starting to get really nervous about getting another job, because me leaving would throw everything into a huge upheaval. Also, I want to do a really good job for Coach, and I think me leaving would really disappoint him.

    Dear Gemini,

    I miss you so much already.  I'm so sorry for having to put you down.  I didn't want to.  Neither did your Dad.  We just couldn't keep watching you suffer.  I hope you're not mad at us.  I hope wherever you are, there's lots of bacon...and a mommy to pet you.

    I cried all night, and woke up your Dad.  I couldn't stand going to pee in the middle of the night and not seeing you sprawled out in front of the doorway.  I couldn't stand leaving for work and not looking back to say, "Have a good day puppy...no wild parties."

    Dear HRS,
    Please re-institute my BF's health insurance that you cancelled because of a funding switch. He is on his last bottle of insulin, and it won't last until you get your act together in late September.  I'm glad this is okay for other students who I imagine were affected by the same switch, but my BF could die because of your inability to get your act together and do your job.  Also, I'm pretty sure what you're doing is illegal.

    Dear Woman Riding Her Scooter on the Sidewalk Last Night During My Run,
    I hate dumb people.  You know what I hate more?  Dumb people riding scooters or motorcycles who (a) are probably not licenced, (b) are not wearing safety gear (and pobably don't even know what documentation they should be carrying to make no helmet legal), and (c) seem to think that a full-sized scooter can be ridden on the sidewalk.  I have also seen you before riding in the bike lane.  Learn the laws - you are not a pedestrian or a bicycle, and one day, when you hit a cyclist or a runner (probably me, based on the number of times I've seen you), wearing that self-satisfied, smug little grin and your iPod earphones, I will cry for their families and laugh as they haul you away for manslaughter.  This sin't just a traffic violation - it's a severe safety hazard.
    Sincerely,
    The runner who yelled at you last night

    Latin is the cool language to take at my high school too...  but only because I'm the teacher. I throw stuffed animals at my kids (well, not AT them, but to them, usually, though I did hit a girl in the face once) and use cat toys all the time. My dignity is long gone.
