WTF Wednesday

Open letters?

Dear Work,

How come you swamp me with work every time I am trying to take a vacation? I would really like to be able to take a few days off here and there without feeling guilty! Don't get me wrong I would prefer to be busy but I wish it didn't come in waves...

Sincerely,
Busy Worker Bee...

Dear Facebook,
Even though I deleted you to try and be more productive, you still taunt me with the curiosity of what I am missing out on. Please stop it.

Thanks,
Social Networking Lover

Dear Wedding Planning,

Ever since my future-brother-in-law was diagnosed with leukemia last week, you have become 100% trivial. I'm trying to work on you because this wedding is coming up fast, but given the current situation, I am apathetic-at-best toward you.

Regards,

Kate

Dear Cancer,

YOU SUCK. My FBIL is a fighter, and I can't wait for him to kick your bone marrow leeching a**. 

Go take a long walk off a short pier,

Kate

Dear Beka,

I'm so sorry!  Keep us updated on his progress.

Dear everyone else reading,

You should use this as a reason to sign up for the marrow registry!  bethematch.com (or marrow.org).  I did it awhile ago, and it was super easy.

Dear University,

I know you're having some issues budgeting your money.  But guess what, it's not my fault you chose to waste money on a LOSING football team and all sorts of other stupid wasteful projects.  I work really hard and I'd appreciate actually getting my full wage this year.  I know you think you're being nice by giving me an extra 3 days off at Christmas, but I'd rather just get paid.

Sincerely,
Your alumna and hard working employee.

Beka : Sorry to hear that. I lost my Dad to Colon Cancer earlier this year. Cancer loves to ruin the party. I'll be praying for a fast and speedy recovery for your FBIL.


Dear Uncle Jeff:
Sorry that you love to be grumpy. But please stop bitching to the family how annoyed you are that Our Wedding is on Memorial Day Wknd and you have to come home early from the Cabin. (exact words include :What the hell were they thinking planning their wedding on a long weekend- grumble grumble now I have to come home early for the cabin just for this!) Well let me tell you what I was thinking :::: (a) David is active duty Air Force and is not allowed to take leave whenever he wants. and (b) We have family (other than you) living all around the world that would like to opportunity to attend. Get over it and if you would like to stay at the cabin so badly than do it. I don't want you there raining on the most important day of my life.
Thank you!

sigh that felt really good!

(this is kind of bitchy -- but I had to get it off my chest)

Dear FI's Bestfriend GF -

You are a label whore. You really need to stop talking about money and all the desinger crap you buy whenever we get together, it makes you look like an idiot..and it's VERY annoying. No wonder you and your bf can't afford a house - you spend all your money on designer crap. Also, it'd be nice to actually have a conversation with you...but it's really hard when you lack in the personality department.  Life isn't about labels and materialistic things - but hey, whatever floats your boat!

Can't wait for Friday --- oh wait, yes I can. Ugh!

Sincerely,
the girl who shops at Target.

I'm so sorry!  ~~~~~~~health vibes for your BIL~~~~~~~~~  I've known 2 people who have beat it and have gone on to live long lives.  I hope your BIL does, too.

Dear Stupid Ex-Supervisor Who Ruined My Office,

Please stop making this whole taxpayer-funded office the victim of your MBA project.  You've completely fucked up this whole office, everyone hates their new jobs, and you've yet to tell me exactly what I'm supposed to do, 3 months later, when others are burried so deep it'll take months to dig out.  Please do not apply for the directorship position, you've caused enough damage.

Grrrr,
That Employee Who You Already Know Hates You

<strong><font color="#800080">YUP cancer sucks! I also lost my mom last Nov - beat the cancer but the radiation was way too hard on her body and she suffered some complications from that. 

So Beka, glad to hear he is a fighter! Wishing your family the best!</font></strong>

Fellow Knotties:

So sorry to hear about all of your losses.  I can't even imagine.  Cancer DOES suck!

Dear Cancer,
   Stop messing w/ my knotties.
-Me.

Dear Student,
   I get that you're comfortable talking about sex, especially since you are seeing your FI next week after he's been off on duty for like ever....but please don't joke about how you hope he's not dry humping you when you try to skype into class next week. We're not friends, I'm your instructor. And ew.
- Ms. F.

beka0404

Thanks for all the nice wishes - I am sorry for everyone else's battles and losses as well. (ETA) I can't imagine how bittersweet planning a wedding must be when your parent is gone.

As my FI said, "I'd like to kick my brother's cancer square in the nuts". My cousin survived a similar leukemia a couple of years ago and has gone on to finish an Iron Man triathlon, so I try to remember that. Luckily leukemia is treatable. There are so many other cancers that are not.

Dear Life,

PLEASE SLOW DOWN!  Time is flying by... I have too much to do and not enough time to do it...I feel like summer is almost over and I just want to be outside doing fun, relaxing, summer things...instead of inside studyin alone EVERY night! I also don't really want to get any older can I just stay mid twenties for a while!? And although I am very excited to get married, I do not want the next 11 months to go by too quickly!

So life, take a chill pill and slow down, k? Thanks!
