I would like to believe that you are not deliberately attempting to defraud us. I will give you the benefit of the doubt for another couple hours. If you don't show up and hand over approximately seven figures, the gloves come off. You already think I'm a bitch, but you have no idea.
Signed, One of us is probably getting fired over this, and it's not going to be me.
Dear Wednesday How can it only be Wednesday? Tired
Dear Client I can't believe you came in yesterday with the full blown full to pick up your taxes. I even told you to please stay home. Me who sanitized like crazy and is now taking my extra vitamins Don't need the flu in the last 2 weeks of the season
Dear DD Happy last day of Express and Coach A I hope you have a fun practice and you really do get popsicles afterwards. Can't wait to see you at 6:30 tonight Mom
Dear Tapa, IDGAF about kin. Stop popping that up. Want a different board host now
Dear Nurse, Thank you for wrapping DS’ boot when we rocked in late for the first time ever, on purpose because no way could he walk all the way to school and I was not fighting a carpool line this morning. He can’t walk in the boot, and DD didn’t have this issue. I can’t believe how much he has torn up his uninjured leg colliding with the boot. You have the patience of a saint. Relieved mom

Dear WP, The sale of my building might be crashing and burning. Again. Signed, why does this keep happening
Dear brother, We are being presented with the opportunity to have a Phase I, a Phase II, and another test done for a $500 consulting fee only with a pretty good chance that we aren't liable for any clean up and you still dont think it's a good idea? If it's because you kind of sort of want to just buy my half (WP, this is legitimately going through his head) but you arent totally sure and we miss this chance and you decide you dont want to buy my half, this might be the final straw were I lose my shit. Please don't let our last piece of business together be what makes me yell at you. Love, your sister who is ready for you to just be my brother.
Thank you for doing the right thing. Apparently the threat of criminal charges is intimidating. Now if you can figure out a way to be an ex-client by the end of the quarter, you'd make my life a heck of a lot easier.
Dear Clients Please stop calling and telling me you are going to be leaving town on the 4th and won't be back until after the 15th. Then asking if there is any way we could get your return done that you dropped off end of last week by Monday. I'm in need of some magic fairies to get everything done Me
You are ridiculous. I can't decide if I should just clap back and dare you to go to hr, so they can document your ridiculous, since they agree, or just smile and say, mkay, since everyone is aware of you, but doesn't do anything about it.
Dear WP,
Between my state being run by a bunch of old wealthy people with fully funded pensions who seem determined top put teachers and state employees on the street in retirement, and above, I think I may be looking for employment. Which job search site do you recommend? I have used Indeed in the past.
rere, LinkedIn is another good one to search on. Definitely more professional offerings vs. Indeed depending on your area. Glassdoor also has a fair amount of jobs now and tries to market themselves to more professional offerings.
You can also just search directly in Google for jobs now. Type in whatever job title and "near me" or your location and stuff will come up. They scrape all the major players like CareerBuilder and Monster into one search result. They do not scrape Indeed - they don't play nicely together.

Dear WP, The guy I had been seeing, we'll call him Tex, ghosted me on my birthday Saturday. We were supposed to go out. I just got a text from Tex, apologizing, claiming he was sick in the ER. I feel bad, but he could have texted me, especially since he was sharing memes on FB. Do I forgive him? Signed, Dating is hard
IMHO, you teach people how to treat you and you deserve better. I say do not have patience with that. He's not a child and he needs to have some consideration for others. Being in the ER is hours of sitting and waiting, lets be real. I'm sorry he was a dick on your birthday. I hope it was otherwise a great one because you deserve it!!!!
supertrooper1, that would be a big no from me. They are never going to treat you better than they way they do when the relationship is new. If he was well enough meme he was well enough to text you.
I would either slowly disengage or just send something like " sorry you weren't feeling well, but I don't appreciate being blown off without any communication. I don't think this relationship should progress any further.
For me the response would be determined by how serious the relationship was. (established BF would be an in person communication, casual dating slowly backing off, that in between would warrant the text)
supertrooper1 - I wouldn’t bother with a nastygram. I’d just send a “Hope you’re feeling better!” text, and then he would never hear from me again. Or just don’t even respond. My experience with guys like this is that they will paint themselves as victims no matter what you do, so don’t engage. Too much energy.
supertrooper1, You are just getting back into the dating scene. I would just check him off the list an move on. No use investing much energy into someone at this point. Ditto on the glad you are feeling better and move on.

supertrooper1, there's no way he couldn't send you a text "I know we were supposed to meet but I'm in the ER" would be enough. At least as easy as posting a meme.
Do you work with him? I agree with posting "I hope you're feeling better" and then disengaging completely from him.
supertrooper1 - he has shown you who he is. Ghosting you is bad enough, but layer in Birthday and meme posting and I am out.
Having said that - if you are just sleeping with him and want to continue, he’s a known quantity so I would continue that if you want to. But I would put him in the FWB box instead of the “guy I am seeing” box. If he doesn’t fit or tries to get out of the FWB box I would walk.
FWIW I slept with my ex-bf (we discussed and planned engagement, until it fell apart. Just different goals for our lives at that point and a relocation plan I wasn’t down with) until I met my first husband. It was great. I could call him any time, it took the pressure off dating as that box was already checked and occasionally he was still my plus one to work events. We had been friends since HS so fell back on that base plus sex.

mustardseed2007, luckily no, I don't work with him, so it will be easy to back away.
2chatter, yes, I would love to just keep him as a FWB, but I worry that I would start to have feelings for him. It's too bad too because we clicked between the sheets.
Dear Gluten, I am sorry that we have to break up. I've enjoyed your deliciousness for many years now. But due to testing positive for Celiac's disease yesterday we are done. Although, I am relieved that it was you, and not only of the scarier options that were being posited, like cancer. I hope to feel better without you in my life. Signed, G-Free
On the plus side, I am happy that we've finally hopefully sorted out why I have been feeling super sick for the last year, and hopefully my migraines and tingly limbs will go away along with the stomach problems. And this is not nearly as bad as some of the other probable options were.

Dear phdmomma, Welcome to the club. It's not all that bad once you get used to it. I'm about 18 months into my celiac diagnosis. It's made a huge difference. I hope it does for you too! Let me know if you need to compare notes or have questions. Signed, Twinmomma
