Dear CE-

there is no fucking reason for you to be rude and get angry with me, especially after i explained 3 times exactly what i was authorized to do about the case.
for fucks sake.
i realize this is important. do you realize that there was NOTHING BEYOND WHAT I DID THAT I COULD POSSIBLY DO??
it is NOT my fault that your customer didn't answer his phone.
and really, when i mentioned that YOUR MANAGER had been involved with trying to reach the customer you should have possibly clued into that.
godDAMNit.
how many times can i say the same fucking thing?
i'm sending the case to the elevation team. they will try (AGAIN) to contact your muthafucking important customer.
and if they try for another GODDAMNED week and STILL can't get ahold of the guy?
they're gonna close the case.
and if i get you on the phone again, i'm hanging up. because i don't need to be treated like i'm stupid.
YOUR CUSTOMER is stupid. YOUR CUSTOMER didn't return his calls.
fuck YOU and fuck YOUR CUSTOMER and fuck the Ops agent you dragged into this and fuck the whole goddamned fucking SYSTEM because you're right it is retarded i should be able to transfer you to the Elevation team so you can talk to them.
MUTHAfuck.

Hey! I'm not stupid!

Dear you,
I just needed to tell you this in a letter, since I can't tell you to your face. I'm a coward. You are wonderful. You have so many forms of wonderfulness stuffed inside you, I wonder how you can move without it all coming out of your pores. I hope you find everything you want, everything that will make you happy. Someone to love who will love you back. Somewhere to be yourself. Something to catch your eye and just. make. you. smile. For no reason at all. If I could give you all of that I would. But I'm not the one to give it to you. But I can still hope for you.

Ouch

That's better

to my new landlord;

if one of your tenants is moving out, and it is a condition of the tenancy that she find a replacement herself, and particularly if she has let you know she has found a replacement, and that that replacement will start paying rent on the first of the month, you do not let that room to someone else the day before the replacement has moved in, especially if the replacement has already paid the goddamn rent a week previously and the someone else had been promised a smaller room in the house and just happened to think it would be nice to have the bigger one when she arrived. yes, it would have been nice, but it is my goddamn room

you are a cock

fion, that has to be illegal. Get your money back and live somewhere else or take him to court for breaking the contract.

i think it probably is, although i never had any contact with him myself. but i was here with all my stuff and couldn't really go anywhere else! it was just too instant really. he told me to "move in to the other room while he sorted things out" which just wasn't going to fly.

but i managed to talk the other girl into letting me have the room til christmas. which isn't ideal, but hopefully by then i'll have a job and a better idea of what i can afford and hopefully move in with some mates. and this way the atmosphere in the flat is amicable, at least.

i'm annoyed at myself for not ringing him to check he'd got my rent. but then my friend who moved out said it was all sorted... i dunno, i can 'what if' until the cows come home. and the rent here is very reasonable, so it's worth hanging around while i sort myself out. just a pretty hideous first day...

Oy, Self:
calm down. waaaay way down.
you're fine. and you'll be fine no matter what. and you know nothing horrible is gonna happen.
you're just jumped up on caffiene and possibly PMS if your counting is right.
breathe. calmly.

Dear next-door neighbours,

MAKE THE BEEPING STOP!

I only have one pair of industrial ear-defenders, and my six-year-old is wearing them. In bed.

Yours,
Me.

Dear gorgeous girl I can never have:

Please, please stop torturing me with your gorgeousness and you're adorableness. It's torture. I don't like it

Dear Person,

I don't know how much clearer I can make this - go away.
Your behaviour and your attitude are just too much to deal with, and I can't trust you to respect the boundaries any more. I can't even trust you to keep in mind that I might be seriously uncomfortable with being backed into a corner by a guy who is much, much bigger than me, which should be obvious to anyone with a brain. I helped all I can. I'm not doing it anymore. None of us can do it anymore.

I have enough, and more than enough to cope with. I need my energy to shore up my family, not your self-destruction.

Go away, take you medication, get checked into hospital if that's what it takes, but do not lay it on me. Not now, not ever.

Me.

Dear co-worker:

If I can smell your perfume through my closed door as you pass in the hallway, you're probably using too much of it.

Dear body

Dont you be starting the chest pains again.
I am fucked if i am getting on that trendmill in front of a load of doctors and nearly passing out. As cool as it was reporting stuff down the phone like a secret agent. i dont want to do it again.

me.

Ugh. That one merits a send. I had to tell my assistant at my last job to cut back- I was getting sick anytime she came to my office!

EDIT:
Though it might be better if you have a female coworker that you're friends with gently tell her.

Out Of Warranty Customers -

When you are out of warranty, you have to pay to troubleshoot with me. Just to troubleshoot. Nothing else included and its not guaranteed to work. Also if the issue turns out to be hardware which it inevitably will, you'll be paying out the nose or taking the unit to a computer fixer in your area.
so just take my advice and GO TO THE COMPUTER STORE FIRST.
like i said. when i told you you're Out of Warranty.
its not that i don't care.
its just that there are people waiting to talk to me who have paid big bucks that you were too cheap to.
so i need to work with them and i have no reason to continue talking to you.
go to the website. go to the computer fixer down your street.
you live in New York City. there are hundreds of people who can fix your computer there.
thanks for calling (NOT) and have a great day.

Dear ...,
I'm sorry. I've been taking your advice and trying not to think too much, letting my heart lead me. All the way I have been thinking things are moving so fast but I won't over think it, because you aren't and you are letting what happens happen. And then last night you state that you are trying your hardest not to need anyone because you have been there and it doesn't work out. That's the opposite of "what happens happens". I've been trying my hardest to not trip myself, believe it or not, and you've been trying not to need me too much. And then you act confused when I tell you I will give you some space. What do you want, man? Do you want me around? Do you think I like hearing that you don't need me there? Are we leading with our hearts, or our heads? Please just tell me, I am lost.
