Dear new coworker,
Learn to read the (MS Teams) room before speaking up and asking what the training was for halfway through the training session. This was something we've been working on for months and the programmer was nice enough to walk us through the nuances of the new system. You should have waited until the end and asked your trainer. And then your work around suggestion, right after the supervisor on the call explained why the work around wasn't a permanent solution, was not helpful either.

Dear Beau,
I'm so sorry you're sick with food poisoning. I wish there was something I could do.

Dear fellow committee member,
For someone who does jack shit you sure have a lot of opinions
Sincerely, The soon to be former chair, thank god
Dear “new” job,
Sometimes I get the impression no one knows what my job is, including me. Do we have a plan? Am I doing it? Are all jobs like this and I had forgotten? It’s been 10 months.
Some days I feel very confident and some days I flounder.
You did pretty well holding it together for your wisdom teeth. But. When you call yesterday to say your car won't start. And I turn around and come back to find you crying in your car. Then try to start your car, and it starts. So you take up WAILING. In the middle of the driveway. While I amd running back and forth throwing my bags in your car and your bags in my car. So I take off in your car with you still WAILING. And your response was you've been holding that in for days and it had to happen. I'm glad our neighbors aren't close.
Signed, THE mom.
Dear DH,
It must be nice to go to work. And just work. No calls about cars, no freakouts about school schedules, no txt about money, no one calling about being sick or not feeling well. Just work. I wouldn't know in my 20 years of momdom.
Signed, THE mom.
Ps. Btw, do not lend out our spare vehicle for a month to a buddy. Non starting cars are not near the stressor when we have a spare vehicle. So when I am freaking out trying to figure out how everyone needs to get 4 different places, dont be surprised when your response is, What do you want me to do...my response was...Get me my %$@#&%! truck.
All first semester, we had battles about the math you’re supposed to do on the two apps, which you have responsibility for completing in a timely manner. Over Christmas we agreed that you would start doing said apps on days when you didn’t have a lot of other stuff to do. Like weekends and holidays. So pray tell why we just got an email saying you have 9 to complete before your test on Monday? You just had a three day weekend where you could have knocked this stuff out.
Signed, Not Mad But Pretty Disappointed
PS I am proud you’ve finished your reading, the other thing you’re responsible for working in to your schedule using time management skills. So good job there. Now go do your math.
Dear beau's son, You crack me up! I was so proud that you asked me to sign off on your homework as a parent. Silly stuff like that warms my heart because it makes me feel legit as a step mom. But then you worried the teacher wouldn't believe you that I was a real parent and wouldn't recognize my initials because they don't match yours, so you had dad sign too. I guess we never have to worry about you forging our signatures for anything! Love, Bonus mom
Dear beau, My company is big on recognizing personal accomplishments as well as professional. So yesterday in our company rally, the CEO announced our engagement. Tomorrow night at the holiday party you are going to get bombarded with people who are happy for us even though you've never met 95% of them. Good luck! Signed, Sorry!
Dear twinmomma, I'm glad my company isn't the only nutty one that has their holiday party in January.
Dear woman who rear-ended me (really just a tiny tap) on my way to preschool drop-of this morning - ugh, I know it sucks more for you than for me since you have to pay for it, but I did not need that hassle of the time needed to pull over and exchange info and get repair quotes in my already packed day.
sdlaura, We do it on purpose! Our remote staff flies in for the week and we have an annual kick off meeting, holiday party, office events all week. It's a whole thing. People are way more excited to attend in January after the stress of the holidays versus trying to cram it in during December madness.
If you're going to call one of your on call employees multiple times in the middle of the night... please be sure that you're calling the on call employee for the right department in the right org.
