Free Therapy: Another Open Letter!

Dear Soon-to-be-Ex,
I am tired of you forcing me to tell you over and over again that our marriage is over.
You will not wear me down. I will not give up. I will keep up the strength to be on my own.
Please find the strength within yourself and leave.
I will bear the burden of the mortgage, and I will be able to budget through. Just go. Please.
I cannot handle any more of your negative aura. It's exhausting, fighting to stay in the sunlight.
And although you don't know it, if you aren't gone or don't have solid plans to be gone by the time the tax refund gets here (8-15 days), I am splitting the bank account in half, closing the joint account, grabbing my clothes and moving me and the kid to my parent's, dumping the house on you. Once you start into foreclosure, I'm sure the bank will work with me to get you out of the house and me back in, financed in my own name.
I simply cannot do this anymore. I told you in September I thought we were headed for divorce. You did nothing. I told you December 20 I wanted a separation. You did nothing. New Years, Valentines, you did nothing. Finally, in the last week of February, when you realized how expensive apartments were as I started forcing you out, you made an effort. I am very sorry but YES, it's too little too late.
And yes, I do hate to give up on you. Maybe this WAS the time you would change for good, but I can't give you "just one more chance" any more. I have one life to live. I WILL be happy. I will not SETTLE for less than happiness. I know it exists.
I wish you all the best. I hope you become a better man. I hope you learn to love life and can enjoy the time you have on this earth. But mostly, I hope you will let me go and move on.
Signed,
Never Gonna Give Up On My Dreams.

Good for you, Lauryn!

Dear HR lady,
I got your email this morning announcing that a customer sent in soft pretzels for everyone. So though I chose not to take part in consuming them, thanks anyway for leaving one on my desk as though you didn't want me to 'miss out'. Now what do I do with it? I was doing so well today. I bought a coke and decided I didn't 'need' it so I put it in my purse to give to my bf. He'll think it's Christmas! I guess the pretzel too can be a gift to him.......now that I ate part of it so I could wrap it in a napkin. :grumble:
Yours truely,
I don't want your leftovers
P.S. Thank you. I now have salt in my purse.0 -
Dear Idiot in HR
I am sorry that you are lazy and can't even do the basics of your job. My acting position ended 9 weeks ago and you are still paying me out a the higher wage. If I knew you weren't going to ask for it back I wouldn't mind, but since you told me yesterday that I now owe you $1023, I have to say I am quite annoyed. Especially since I have been calling you for the last 6 weeks to correct the error. You then had the gaul to ask if I wanted it all to come off one cheque. Are you insane? That is more than half my wages for the month. :explode:
Learn how to do your job so it doesn't screw up the rest of us!

I'm sorry...the PS made me LMBO. HA! :laugh: When I worked, people used to bring in treats & put them ON MY DESK for people to grab as they walked by. It wasn't like I was at the front of the building or near the kitchen. My cubicle was mixed in the middle of everyone else's. So stupid. Good job resisting, though, Rach!0 -
Dear 220's,
The sooner you leave my body the better..taking up residence somewhere your not wanted is plain rude..So my plan is to leave all the water faucets *sweating & drinking water* running and flush you out by weeks end..and if you persist to stay then I will just have to renovate my workout plan!! Oh and by the way MR.50lbs is coming to collect the last 3 months rent!:drinker:

Dear banana bread,
I know my fiance cooked you for me.
I told him how good you are. But please stop calling my name out.
In the morning when I walk by you ignore me. It will be tough to part.
You have really given me a lot of joy. But enough is enough. I have 4 weeks
left until I have to get fitted for my dress. Leave me the heck alone!

Dear Max,
I know some people who need a little encouragement.
I know they lurk around and offer their own encouragement.
They are the queens of MFP. So go ahead, feel free to give them your
little encouragement and watch them smile when you are done.

Dear Kellch's Banana Bread,
You can move in with me...for ONE day! Ah hell, who am I kidding..I'd eat all of you in one day. So..if you'd like, ONE piece of you can over!

Dear Snow,
I love you. Really. I don't live in Virginia and not expect snow.
But, this year . . . you've been such a tease. A little flurry here, a little flurry there. I was getting tired of the cold weather with no snow... and I was ready for Spring!
Then, this weekend you decided to blanket my area with 10 inches of fluffy white cold stuff. I appreciate it. I do. But, it's a little too late and I'm still craving warm weather.
You got me out of work yesterday as a little extra prize. Thank you. I enjoyed the day off. At least until I came in to work today - after sliding on very slick roads - and was informed that I had to take a day of annual leave to make up for yesterday.
Snow... if you want to keep our relationship on good terms... you'll go away until next Winter.
Love,
Wishing for Spring!0 -

Dear Legal System,
Why must you drag things out? Don't you realize that everyone is happier the faster we get this done? Really, your administrative staff should not allow matters such as these to sit in the "In" basket for a week. The clerk would not even have been aware of this if my attorney had not called, and my attorney would not have called if I had not emailed her! I realize that this is routine for all of you, but to me, it's my life. My heart, my ability to pay bills - my very livlihood - rocks on this one thing.
Please, just get it done so that we can all move on with our lives!

Dear Mailman,
Please put MY bills and car tabs in MY mailbox. Do not continue to make me pay for someone else's car tabs - all the while getting late fees on credit card bills I NEVER received, and one of my loser neighbors didn't bother to bring to me or even put it in the mail slot for you to re-post.
While I'm on the subject, loser neighbors, don't thumbtack my mail on the outside of the mailbox where every Tom, _ _ _ _, and Harry can grab it and therefore grab my credit info! There are 40 units in our condominium, how hard is to bring it to my door or put it in the mail slot for the mailman to re-distribute?
And why for the love of all encouragement, can't you put your trash IN the dumpster? If you don't want your icky entertainment center or old dead grungy mattress, why do you make all the rest of us pay to have it hauled away.
Losers.

Multi-unit housing mailboxes are the WORST and always seem to have the laziest mailperson servicing them!
Can you formalize a complaint? In a nice way, to see if they can "improve" their services to negate security risks due to mail being misappropriated?0 -

Now why did my reply cause you to think about an arm workout. The tris are doing good. I also got a good workout in this morning. Unfortunately I have not given myself enough time to add another lift. I plan on trying to add next week. Thanks bro.

Why yes, I can and I did. Last year, the year before, and before that - -I've had this ongoing letter to the post office for 16 years running. Same mailman. AND his relief guy for vacations....(this is not the "real" letter.)

Dear United States Postal Service,
Can you please hire some employess who can actually get FIRED for bad job performance or for wise-aleck remarks? Because your system of "fixing" things doesn't work. They have no reason to change, there are no consequences. No matter how many letters I have written in 16 years, no matter how many times I have gone to the post office and stood in line to complain, all I get is excuses.
Don't you have a Civil Service test they have to take in which they must be able to read words and numbers? How hard is it to read someone's name, match it to the name on the mailbox, and put it in?? I have had the same mailbox for 16 years and I'm beginning to think you don't care about the time I waste trying to fix your incompetence. Last year you cost me $316.00. I will be taking you to Small Claims Court on the next occurence. At the speed you work, maybe I will recoup my losses before I die.

Okay, maybe you should just tormet the workers then.
Like finding those "Postage Paid" return envelopes in junk mail and attaching it to a box (this is legal, I've read) and filling that box with bricks for the postal carrier to have to lug away.
Or maybe just leaving nasty notes with misplaced mail, like "Hey Letter Carrier, my apartment number is 123, not 321. I know numbers are hard but try to open your eyes next time, d-bag."
(Okay, that last one isn't a good suggestion at all. :laugh: )0
