Thank you for making my visit yesterday pleasant. It's so good to know that I'm just an idiot who apparently didn't preorder my books and that SO must be crazy since he was the one who was standing with me while one of your booksellers placed the preorder for me. Two months ago. Nevermind that I had the slip that showed my order, because heaven forbid you never make mistakes (like the last 3 times; I must be a glutton for punishment).
It's also nice to know that you didn't want to be bothered with looking up my information to even verify that I had placed the preorders, or even acknowledge that I had any confirmation at all. After all, if they aren't up at the front on the shelf, I must be lying, right?
And apparently, I must have been lying about having that personal shopping day, because I just now noticed on the receipt that I didn't even get that redeemed. Yet it's missing from my Borders Rewards account. So now I have to call and get this straightened out.
Thank you for making my visit a pleasant one. I'll have to remember to avoid you in the future.

But I've another 1 1/2 years before worrying about getting a master's degree. I don't even think I'll go right into a master's program...I need a break from school.
No, get the course descriptions from each semester you took that particular course. If you took Language development in deaf and hard of hearing children this semester, get the catalog from Fall 2006. If you took Psychology of Deafness last semester, get the course catalog from Spring 2006. You get the idea. Yes, it is in fact a huge PITA. But if it'll save you time and money, it will be worth it. Trust me.

I'm happy for you that you've gotten such a terrific new job, but dang, am I sorry to see you leave the college.
Even though I usually only see you during the first six or eight weeks of school during meetings for planning a special event, I do so like to see you. You're very nice to look at, and nice, too.
Please let the universe allow me to continue to believe that you maybe kinda sorta like seeing me too, even though I do feel a little foolish for crushing on such a younger man.

Dear TGirl:
While refilling the printer is not a problem here (even the attorneys--even the chief counsel--will do it), this is something I believe to be a good idea whenever this situation raises its ugly head.
Because half the time these people don't even know A) that the printer is out of paper and 2) that their job didn't print.
This is because in addition to believing in the printer fairy and the toner fairy, they believe in the document delivery fairy as well.

NFBSK YOU!!! You couldn't have held out for TWO more days?!?! Just two? So I could get through the work week and not have a short check? When I so desperately need it, and we don't have orders coming in, and I already get shorted on the holiday pay because my shift is 10-12 hours, and we only get paid for 8? Why must you do this to me? The MRI was already scheduled for Monday, you couldn't have waited until then?!? I hate you!

Thanks. The worst part is, I feel guilty just sitting here at home instead of work, even though logically I know that working will make my back hurt worse. It doesn't hurt badly right NOW, so I keep thinking I should go back to work, but I know as soon as I turn on my machine and do all that stuff I have to do for work (like lifting and turning and walking around and dragging skids), it'll hurt again

Dear nice new hairdresser I'll be going to from now on...
Thanks for making the old fat chick feel just a little bit better about herself. Going to a lighter color I think has shaved a few years off and I know you aren't supposed to do brow tints... but you did it anyway and it all looks great. You took some time with me instead of trying to speed through to the next customer. I wish I could have tipped better but hopefully the $10 will go to those pretty kids.
Dear grumpy husband-
I hadn't even had my hair CUT for over a year and a half, never mind getting a color or my brows done. I felt downright nasty about myself, its bad enough I've gained so much weight and all. You had to bitch that I spent the $95- which frankly isn't bad for what I had done plus a $10 tip. We actually have it for once and I wanted to do one nice thing for myself. How much do you blow on beer and fast food in a month? Just... grrr.

Dear Mickey, I get those pains when I am overstressed. It is usually a signal to me to pay attention to something in my life that I am ignoring and that I need to attend to. It used to happen a lot when my exH and I were dating and he was being a jerk (I wish I had listened then) or later when he wanted to spend money we didn't have.
Lately, it's just a signal to me that I need to relax.
A nice professional massage might do the trick. Or taking things a little slower (it does sound like you are pretty busy). Or taking some time just for yourself.
Best, TGirl

Our son is not being raised by a committee. If I make a suggestion or tell you I plan to do something, that is not a cue to ring your parents and 'run it by them.' THEY HAVE GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS. And until they move in and start being the housewife, they WILL NOT be part of that process. I do things for a reason, I know what I'm doing and for you to constantly question what I do and take their word over mine, really makes me feel incapable and really undermines me.
Babe, this needs to stop. Your parents do not hold the answers to everything. Between you, me & on the forum, I'm kinda looking forwards to the day when I can tell to back the hell off and shut the hell up.

oh nononono!
I - any many others - have been looking forward to taking this EMT course for months and now you want to hold it back until January, so that it'd be done in July? (When none of us is on campus anymore?) No fair! There's at least 20 kids from this college alone who want to do it, what on earth is wrong with you? At least have the grace to get back to Chief on time.
Come on, we have so many cool classes this year, Ropes, Water Rescue, EVOps, and you want to make the most important one unavailable. And we don't want to carpool to Altoona, because that would mean a 6-7 hour trip twice a week and some of us do have some college next to this.

Dear University or registrars or whoever I need to yell at,
Ok what? I can't wrap my head around this.
I tried to register for Guitar Techniques. When I was registering, I was indeed a music major, however, I wasn't a music education major (never was a problem before now).
So I went and officially declared myself as a music education major and try to register again. Course is full.
Oh well, I'm showing up to the first class and every class after that until I'm signed in. First class was today.
WHY DOES HALF THE CLASS CONSIST OF NON-MUSIC MAJORS WHO CLAIMED THEY'VE REGISTERED?!?!?!?!?!
I couldn't register because I was the wrong kind of music major!! Yet these people aren't even music majors PERIOD!
Between this class and my full Latin class that I'm sitting in on, I'm getting mightly screwed.
I NEED THAT CLASS TO GRADUATE!!!
Thinking of you and flipping the bird,

TG,
I've had that happen when the machine doesn't have enough change for a dollar, even after you buy an item. They don't always display "Exact change only" (if they even do that anymore) since they can sometimes make change for a smaller amount. It is very annoying when it happens, moreso if the item you want is a dollar or more.
