Quit putting your political crap on FaceBook. A. It's embarrassing. B. It's annoying. C. It's people like you who have ruined social media. And the fact that only people that agree with you comment doesn't make it right, it just shows that most people don't want to get into ridiculous FaceBook arguments. Unfortunately I was sucked in, and that just shows me how vile people are.
Dear work, "Don't push it, take some time off to rest" immediately followed by "We'd like to get this email and text mass marketing campaign to 30k people built out and deployed by next week" is kind of sending mixed signals... Signed, Sick Marketing Dept.
I love you guys. Truly. You've been the best time and money investment ever. You help DH with cash flow for his company, navigated 401K changes when he hired his first employee, and set him up to hire more. I don't have to manage our investments anymore, which were becoming a bit unwieldy. It's been awesome and has given me so much peace of mind in this crazy time.
Thank you!! Mae
Dear Kids -
For the love of God, stop fighting. Stop fighting with each other. Stop fighting with me. Just stop. I can't take it. I don't ask a lot of you guys. Basically, stop leaving trails of food and garbage wherever you go, and be nice to each other. It's not hard.
So no, I'm not taking you anywhere today. Your attitudes suck and I'm not going to break up a fight on the beach or at a mini golf course. You two can sit home and look at each other. I'm off the clock.
Dear DH Yes I snapped at you last night for opening a window up while the AC was on. No the snap wasn't 100% about the damn window or the doors you kept leaving open while you went outside. It was about you having no regard for me. I was trying to do continuing education webinar and you interrupted me 4 times for just random crap. I'm trying to get my 14 hours in where it doesn't affect the entire house which means during DD's practice time. Let me work! Cranky Wife
Dear DD I don't know what is up with the tears and attitude but it has got to stop. I just can't right now. I'm low on emotional bandwidth. So that means no computer, TV, or electronics today because that is what seems to be causing the tears and attitude. Mom
Dear Dad I want to start being picky about the clients we take on. We seem to keep getting messy clients that don't pay timely, don't listen, and cause us lots of headaches. 2 out of the last 3 payroll clients we've added are horrible. I knew the lady demanding we do her payroll yesterday wasn't going to work so yes I said we weren't taking new clients at this time is because I don't want another payroll headache. Business Partner/Daughter
If you had time off this morning to get a coffee with a friend, then why did I take the morning off to take DD to the dentist?
I know friend can use support, but it’s not your fault that his wife only lets him out of the house between 7-9 am. Also I love how you pretend to be soo busy (and you are mostly) and then all of a sudden you are doing random errands and projects around the house during your workday.

186momx, DH and I just had probably one of our biggest fights ever a few nights ago because he insisted on opening the windows while the AC was on because "the air is cooler outside so it'll help with the cooling process". I realize how ridiculous that sounds.
Dear (ex)-Friend:
It's been 5 days since you said you'd confirm a time to talk on the phone so that we can catch up - and nothing....and you haven't responded to my last text either. At this point I really don't care much about the friendship, except that DS still thinks of your son as his "very best friend in the whole wide world" and would be devstated if they can't meet up when we are down there next week.
Every 3 months, we discuss the fact that your sampling criteria is not appropriate for my portfolio. EVERY TIME. Even your sampling criteria says that the target is to sample 25-50% of the portfolio. And EVERY TIME your sampling criteria pulls 85-90% of my portfolio. EVERY TIME. Big deals? That's all I do. Watch deals? That's all I do. Deals that get touched frequently? That's all I do. And the other thing I do? SPEND TOO MANY EFFING DAYS PUTTING TOGETHER DOCUMENTATION FOR AN AUDIT PULL.
Signed, I hate you with a passion.
Dear boss,
Yes, I'm ignoring you wanting to talk about a new deal. Because I don't have capacity for a new deal, between the existing portfolio, the new term sheets we already have, and managing this audit. So you can sign up another prospect all you want, but don't be surprised when it takes me 3-4 months to get to it.
You tell me my staff is about to get a large wedding with exposure. Since when are we the wedding people? We are already the business people, and we have training all week that when we paid $1600 for it, we thought we would actually be able to do it. Can someone clue my boss in that we cannot get back to our regular jobs?
Signed, are my pension and benefits and pay REALLLLLLY worth it?
Dear ExH, You really thought letting the kids pick the same glasses was a good idea? You know that's basically the only way most people can tell them apart, right? That's why I've always made them pick different colors. They're even in the same class this year. Between the same glasses and masks, this poor teacher is screwed. Also, you let them pick Ray Bans?! WTF. Let me just pull out that check book, yet again... Signed, This is why I don't let you handle things
Dear 3rd grade teacher, I hope you can learn voices and personalities quickly! Signed, Sorry
Dear School District Thank you for announcing everyone will be doing comprehensive online school to start the school year off. This is 5 weeks before school starts. I hope you also will be paying and letting the teachers come up with a game plan now and not wait until they come back to school 8/31 for millions of meetings. Hopeful Parent
I executive decisioned. I got us a beach hotel that we've stayed at before. It's not the time period we were originally hoping for and we’re paying twice as much as we would have. It's not an ideal set up. There's a king bedroom and a pullout bed in the living area. My guess is we will settle the kids for the night on the king bed while we stay out a little later in the living area, and then move the kids to the other bed when we're ready for bed.
Signed, Happy to plan something.
PS: I'm not even sure if we let the kids know or not since our luck has been so shitty lately.

k3am I'm glad you found something. I don't think I could have taken the disappointment of not getting a break and plans totally dashed these days.

I would wait to tell them. I’m taking mine out of town tomorrow morning and I haven’t told them yet. I feel like there are way too many variables right now that could make the whole thing fall apart.
