Dear FI,

We're finally under a year! YAY! I love you

**********

Dear NJ Devils,

Thank you for winning last night! Do you have any idea how happy you've made me?! Bring on the Rags/Caps!

**********

Dear Self,

The bad eating & laziness needs to stop. I don't know what's gotten into you but you're not going to lose weight by eating anything/everything & going home to the couch everyday. Get your shiit together.

Dear Sat.,

Hurry up and get here! I am too excited for my birthday celebration.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Self,

Concentrate on your runs better, you have a half in a week and a half!

Dear Sister,

You are really starting to come around and be more mature. I know we had a rough patch back in the fall and I am glad we are slowly getting around that.

Sincerely,

Your life long BFF.

Peaseblossom55

Dear BF,

Our talk on Monday night made me so happy and excited.  I love you more and more each day. 

Love,

GF

Dear job,

Not going to lie you kind of suck right now. Might need to start brushing up my resume now.

Sincerely,

Disrepected employee

Dear weekend,

I know you will be a busy one, please get here soon.

Sincerely,

Me

Dear bf, We will get through this rough patch. I love you. Love Gf Dear May 26th, Can you be here already? I want to go home. Plus also, I would very much like to meet up with some pretty awesome ladies. I need this vacation. Love, Ready to relax Dear work, I'm over you. Employee Dear mom and grandma, I need to take this trip by myself. I need you to understand that. I will make it up to Liz. I can't figure out my issues and deal with her problems too. Kind of defeats the purpose. Fed up sibling/daughter/grand daughter Dear weather, Typically I don't ask for rain, but I pushed a job off because you were supposed to rain. Please don't make me look like a jerk. Construction employee at the mercy of mother nature Ps. If you could be awesome while I'm in Pennsylvania, that would be amazing.

Dear FI,

Can you please get a move on on all the invitation related stuff I asked you do nicely over a month ago? Since they need to go out next weekish, I'm not going to be nice much longer.

Love

Annoyed FI

Dear Mother Nature,

Can you hold up on the rain so I can do some gardening?

Sincerely,
The girl already losing the battle

Dear sweet baby boy, mommy hates that you don't feel well, I hope you start feeling better soon. It's breaking mommy's heart. Dear BF, I asked you last night to wake up early with us. I'm mad at you for still being asleep. You want in this family? Act accordingly! Dear self, Put your son in the stroller and go walk mile. You have a wedding to go to on Saturday fat ass!

Dear Dumb Assed Turkey that walked out in front of BF's BMW as I was going 75mph on the highway this morning:

I'm sorry that I smashed you into smithereens, but the damage you did to the grilles and the hood is not pretty.  You really were a rather stupid bird.

Not amused,
Me

Dear Heart-

I know that I smashed the turkey into smithereens at a high rate of speed, but there is minimal damage and no one was hurt.  Stop pounding out of my chest, my cardio workout is later.

Enough already,
Me

Dear BF-

I'm so sorry I smashed into the dumb assed turkey.  He walked into the middle of the road, and I barely had time to utter an expletive, much less stop or swerve.  We'll get the car fixed, I know it's your baby, and I'm always very careful when I drive it.  I can't speak for the brainless foul in this region. I'll help you scrape the feathers and guts off when I get home.

Love you,
Me

Dear FI,

Dear Mookow,

I am jazzed for you that your wedding is so close!  If you have trouble sleeping and have access to essential oils, lavender on the temples can be soothing and help you sleep.  I use something called Badger Sleep Balm that I got at the Coop, it has lavender and bergamot.

Sincerely,

Still a newbie at NEY

Dear Prospective Employer,

You know we had a great rapport at the interview.  I could tell by how relaxed it felt, that you said you found my questions refreshing, and all the laughter.  This is supposed to be an entry level job, so please don't pass me over for someone who "has more experience."  I won't let you down!

Cordially,

An eager potential new employee

Dear Self,

It is supposed to be gorgeous out for the next few days, so get out and move your body.  NO EXCUSES!  

Love,

Me

ETA.  Hahaha, Mookow, I just saw on another thread that you are an essential oil queen.  Never mind!  See also: Still a newbie!

Dear BF,

I'm sorry house hunting is one of those few things that sends me into a stress panic. I'll try to be better. 

*****************************

Dear Job Market, 

What gives? I've been looking for a job for 6 months and seem to be over or under qualified for everything. Glad my B.A. and M.S. have been so helpful. Hopefully the Ph.D. it looks like I'll be seeing through will get me somewhere.

Dear Dissertation Committee Member,

Stop being cryptic about everyting and talking in annoying jargon. It makes you sound pompous, not smart.

Dear SO,

Three A's & an incomplete about to be resolved as probably another A... I can't tell you how excited I am for you! I was so scared taking a course overload was going to end badly for you, and I know you've been under so much stress lately because of it. But I've believed all along that you not only could do this, but could excel at it, and it feels good to have that faith rewarded. It feels even better to see you succeed at something you're enjoying so much. And just think, one more semester! I love you! Now get that incomplete out of the way so we can spend a little time together!

xoxoxo,

your sweetie

Dear rural school board I hate covering,

FFS PEOPLE. I don't even know where to start. You're just a perfect storm of clusterf**kery, and as much as I should enjoy that as a journalist, it just drives me up a wall. You apparently have a cumulative IQ of about 200, because none of you understand how it works. You say you want to combat corruption, but you're just digging yourselves a deeper & deeper hole, even with the worst of you resigning. You have succeeded in driving away BOTH of your building principals IN THE SAME MONTH. And don't even get me started on your superintendent, who should have retired five years ago, is the most hated superintendent I've ever seen, takes open records requests as a personal insult & has not made eye contact with me since I made one. Also, I would drop dead if you ever got a regular meeting done in less than two hours. Other boards I cover get the same amount of business done in half the time. You guys just suck. I know we're talking about the boonies here, but don't you have lives or hobbies?

Regards,

the little gal in the front row with the notepad

P.S. Cornering me outside meetings & asking if I ever want "the other side of the story" does you no favors.

Dear natural gas companies,

Thanks for putting smelly stuff in your product. It helps drive home the seriousness of large gas leaks when you walk up to the site of one & instantly gag.

Sincerely,

breaking news is FUN!

Dear prospective new boss,

You are nucking futs, in the best possible way. I love your company, but the fact that in my interview last week you had me try on a mascot head, asked if I had a favorite punctuation mark & openly admitted you'd been hit by a car three days earlier suggests to me that you are totally my kind of sicko. Can haz job?

Thanks a bunch,

no, seriously, please give me a job

--

Dear current boss,

I swear to Christ, if you actually move me from Monday-Friday dayside to Sunday-Thursday nightside like you earlier ran by me & then formally proposed in a staffing memo today, you will suddenly find yourself with much bigger staffing issues. And don't try to tell me you thought of me for this solely because you trust me. I may be the best reporter in the office, but I'm also one of the youngest/least senior/most concerned with staying employed in this wretched industry, and I'm also the only one who has literally nothing else going for them in this town besides work. You wouldn't be the first to connect the dots.

Oh, and don't lecture me on work-life balance in the same conversation where you're proposing completely destroying the work schedule that theoretically would enable me to have one. Are you touched?

Kthxbai,

me

Dear teenagers of the world,

Writing a column on duct tape prom dresses, plus watching my baby cousin go off to prom last weekend, has opened my eyes to how skanky prom fashion has gotten. I want to make at least 60% of you wear a parka.

Good God,

yes, I really am that curmudgeonly

Dear Knotties,

Yes, I'm feeling verbose tonight. Sorry I'm not sorry.
