Dear Team Coaches Will you just make up your mind. Telling me that DD is doing a lot better tells me nothing. Also acting shocked that DD will be missing practice Friday was just weird. I know she hasn't missed a single practice since the gym opened back up but you also say you want the girls to vacation and have fun. Signed Gym Mom
Dear Coach H DD loves you! I love you! I wish you could become the missing level 3 coach because DD would excel under you. You get more out of her in 45 minutes than the team coaches do with 9 hours. DD already asked if she can continue lessons with you after the month is over because you make her love gymnastics and she feels confident and strong when with you. Signed Happy mom
Dear Chiro I really hope you can fix my headache that keeps trying to turn into a migraine. I'm sick of it as I've had it since Friday. It gets super bad by evening and then I wake up with it being tolerable until late afternoon. Feeling crummy Me
I counted. Of the 33 people called today, only 5 of them had been called for jury duty before, and only two had actually served - one of them 30 years prior. After this, can you guys take me off your list?!?! Or at least wait another 30 years.
Thank you for getting DD2’s COVID test done so quickly! Less than 48 hours when you said up to 5 days is amazing!
And yay negative!
DD2’s Mom
Dear School -
I understand your rule requiring kids with a cold to stay home until they have a negative COVID test. But you really made it difficult. I sent DD1 into DD2’s class twice to pick up her work, and the teacher refused to give it to her. So DD2 didn’t have the work she needed to participate in the class via zoom.
Also, she is going to have a cough for a little while. It’s how colds work with her. I would be happy to keep her home for a few more days and keep her in zoom, but you won’t allow it - either I send her with the cough or I keep her home to climb the walls and miss her work. It’s a stupid rule, but it’s your rule, so off she goes.
Signed,
I’m not keeping her home for 2 weeks for a nagging cough with a negative COVID test.

Dear Friends,
You are trained lawyers. When you read an article that is clearly biased, I'd hope that you'd at least do a tiny bit more due diligence, or at least click through to the research that is imbedded in the article itself, before blasting it on your FB feeds and then getting more people worked up - that makes us no better than the right-wing fanatics (or any fanatics for that matter).
Signed, Frustrated that no one can seem to act rational anymore
Dear beau, It sucks that you're going to miss my brother's wedding dinner this weekend. I was so looking forward to getting family photos done of us and the kids and enjoying a meal that you were going to make! But I get it. You're the business owner and when one of your people can't work, you have to step up and do it. It just really sucks. I'm not mad at you at all, it's completely outside your control, just feeling sad about it. I can totally feel how guilty and sad you feel about it too, so don't stress. Signed, Bummed out
Dear WPs, Don't worry, this "wedding" is dinner at my house with only my immediate family to celebrate the elopement. We're not having an actual super spreader wedding event like you see on the news. Signed, Twinmomma
You sucked today and I’m pretty sure you are going to suck tomorrow. How many frogs do I have to kiss before I find my good candidate? Does this analogy make any sense?
I’m with you. I did 12 phone screens this week to basically ask the same screener questions that were on the electronic application. And almost half didn’t pass. I mean, how hard is it to say whether or not you’ll work where the job is? This cannot be a remote position. I already asked.
Signed, Also In Hiring Hell
Dear WP Board:
I interviewed for the consulting job today and I think they’re going to make an offer! Plus when I told them my salary expectations, they looked me right in the eye and said “that number doesn’t scare me.” So I may get the job and not be taking a huge pay cut.
Anyway, pray or think good thoughts for me, if you don’t mind!

PS if I take this job and am no longer a lawyer, do I need to change my user name? I feel like I should, lol.
mommyatty- Consulting typically pays higher than corporate. No need to change your username.
Also k3am- I am 99% sure my DH works at your H’s last company based on the Christmas party. We should PM. He’s doing OK. Just sometimes his people manager isn’t as supportive as he would like, are they ever though?

mommyatty, I had several people pull that. One person told the recruiter he’d move, tried to dazzle me with BS (his skills were impressive, as was his BS), but then when I flat out asked him if he was willing to relocate was all “we would have to talk about that.”
Nope. I knew then and there that we would onboard him and once it came time to eventually return to the office he’d argue for fully remote. Nope. We allow some telecommuting, but not full time.
I did eventually find a great hire, though. Good luck!
Hopefully tomorrow is a better day. I liked applicant 1 but would only stay a year. Applicant 3 not as good - unknown? Applicant 3- complete disaster.
I’ve had 3 glasses of wine and apparently that is my worried stage about my friend with breast cancer. She’s in remission- I should be positive but I’m still worried for no reason. I’ll text her tomorrow.
Dear children, No, the Salem Witch Trials did NOT take place in 1992. While to you, yes, that might qualify as "a very long time ago" it is not actually all that long ago at all... Your mother was alive. Signed, Thanks for the laugh at drop off

Dear work issue, You've been an issue for over a year now and programmers can't figure you out or are just providing work arounds. I'm getting the run-around from every party involved and I'm tired of it. This needs resolved before it becomes a bigger issue over the next few months. Signed, Frustrated by people that don't understand the big picture
Dear beau, Thank you for breakfast in bed this morning. It was just what I needed. Signed, Don't pinch me if I'm dreaming

Dear Comcast,
Being down from 9:30-3:30 today without notice is annoying. Thankful for my phone so I can still kinda work. Also leaving the utility box in our yard messed up since July 3rd is also not okay. Please get your *stuff* together and fix my yard since we are planning for a remodel and want you done first. We upgraded internet plans so we wouldn’t have these issues and so far you’ve done better than expected because we have very low expectations given you are Comcast. But this is not cool.
