To the fall television schedule:
Because you have given me a third season of Chuck and a second season of Fringe, I will let you live. But don't think I'm going to forget that you took Cupid and The Eleventh Hour away from me. I was only just starting to forgive you for Freakylinks, and now you pull this? Uncool, television, uncool. I've got my eye on you. Play nice or prepare to taste my wrath.

To Wild Republic:
While I appreciate the ongoing diversity and awesomeness of your Cuddlekins plush collection, I am afraid I have to point out that there are still dinosaurs available in England that I can't get here in North America, and that this is still not okay with me. I need more herbivores! My collection of meat-eaters is starting to look at me funny. Really, since I probably account for a large percentage of your annual sales, shouldn't you be placating me more?
***
To Emily Stone:
Best of luck in your new endeavors. Hack/Slash won't be the same without you.
***
To Lilly and Alice:
I love you. You know that I love you. I love you more than I love almost anything. And if you decide to have another wrestling match on my face at two o'clock in the morning, I'm going to replace you with taxidermy. Soft, fluffy, interesting to look at, does not try to claw me open in the night.
***
To Jane, my alcoholic and emotionally unstable muse:
I do not need to know what happens in the ninth Toby book. Please go drink a pint of absinthe, hook up with a hottie from an under-occupied pantheon, and leave me alone for a little while. I refuse to be responsible for the consequences if you don't.

Anybody got any memos?

Rosemary and Rue
A Local Habitation
An Artificial Night
I'm currently working on the fourth and fifth:
Late Eclipses
The Brightest Fell
I have six through eight fully outlined:
Ashes of Honor
Tributes in the Dust
The Winter Long
Book nine is either The Chimes at Midnight or A Red-Rose Chain, and either way, I don't need to know yet!

I loathe you with the fiery passion of a thousand suns. Please go die in a fire, and GIVE ME MY TAXES YOU BLOWHARDS. I was claimed as a dependant by my parents for the final time this tax season, so you DO NOT GET MY FEDERAL TAX REFUND.
Also, stop trying to bend my husband over a sink and have your violent way with him. He needs his meds, and your stupid policies are making it impossible for him to get them without spending $400 a month in medication alone. He likes being sane, so stop it.

Dear new awesome job,
I love you to awesomeness, but more hours would rawk. I'm willing to be data entry monkey all morning, and even take on other responsibilities if needed! But full time would rawk more than words can say.
~`~`~`~
Dear Sierra,
I hope your surgery goes well today. Trust me, you will like the lack of heat cycles after this. But I'm sorry we couldn't feed you this morning, and you were so grumpy when we took you to the vet. I promise treats when you get home.
~`~`~`~
Dear me,
Stop being so hard on yourself. You are doing more to make yourself healthy, and are trying to build a life for you and your husband. Given the economy, setbacks are okay. Also, you will look sexy at your sister's wedding if you keep on WW and follow it properly. SEXY IS AWESOME.
P.S. Don't let your mom get to you. She's unaware of a lot going on in your life, so a lot of her opinions aren't valid. We both know you love her, but keep in mind that she's in the dark on a lot of things.

my memo
May 21 2009, 18:47:50 UTC 8 years ago
Sending us a customer tender document on Thursday at 5:30 PM to request answers to questions - with a note that you need to have it in to the customer by 9:00 AM on Friday? Is seriously uncool, and I may need to inflict pain.

Not funny. Really. First the not-marked-as-such 2-hour-meter when I have a three hour class? Best $2 I ever wasted. The busted meter in the only other nearby spot? Hilarious. Walking an extra block after moving the car twice and thus being late to class? Priceless.
Knock that shit off.

My sympathy.

And mine at the moment boils down to two things:
Dear Self,
All you have to do for the next 72 hours is stay awake. That's all. Do that, and we're sweet. You don't even have to move or talk for a large proportion of that. Just stay awake. And yes, that does mean keeping your eyes open.
Dear Life,
Ok, I get it. Lots to do, lots to see. Just - no more, ok? I think I can just handle what you've thrown at me right now, so a little breathing space before we see how much else I can handle. K? K. Deal.

The fall TV season may be partly my fault. I watched Fringe regularly, Chuck on and off (the finale? yuck to the delay-the-wedding stuff, yay to the season-ending twist - I'd be content to drop most of the supporting cast and never see the Buy More again), but never watched Cupid or The Eleventh Hour. I also get more Dollhouse and Better Off Ted, so it's a happy week here.
The memo to Lilly and Alice made me laugh. The memo to Jane made me laugh harder. Thank you.

Please stop asking me to ask people technical questions for you on behalf of other people who don't actually need the help. Really, if they need help, they can ask me themselves. Doing it this way only makes me look dumb, even if the techies do understand "boss who is technologically challenged".

Yes, I know what they're doing is insane. Yes, we know how to do it right. They don't care. They don't want to do it right. If it bugs you that much, just look the other way. Don't listen when they talk.
Much love,
Me
