Dear Leasing Office,
Often you leave a notice on my door that you are turning off the water the following day for a few hours. I am not being dramatic, and you know it. Once every two weeks or less. Today was one of those days. When I came home and put water in a pot to boil for dinner, the water would not get hot. Also, it was cloudy. What the fuck, Leasing Office? I have never lived anywhere else where they can't fix whatever the water problems may be. Have you considered hiring someone new to fix the water, since whoever you keep having is not solving the problem?
Just a suggestion.
Dear Attorney I'm Working For This Week,
You seem very sweet. However. We keep having communication problems, because you continue to leave out key words when you ask me to do things. For instance, today you left out the part about copying the document before three-hole punching it. I don't know how long you've worked with the secretary I'm covering for, so maybe she knows these things without you saying them. I do not. Please give me full instructions so that I can do a good job for you.
Dear World,
You are disappointing me with your horrid cruelty and pathetically low standards, both for yourself, and others, some of whom you claim to love. You are making me hate you. Maybe you don't care, I don't know. But in case you do, know that you are fucking killing my spirit and making me seriously hate you. Do with that what you will. Just want you to know how your actions are affecting those around you.

Dear Green, Are you living my life? Are you my twin?
grrr. leasing offices can be so inept.
grrr. some bosses need their instructions recorded each time so that they don't claim innocence.
grrr. yeah, some people in the world deserve better.
And I grrred thrice for you, babe. Chin up.
Our building has the same problem, but it's only about once a month. It sucks.
Yesterday my sister's landlady "forbid" her from using her "water machine" to clean her patio. She was using a hose. I know this has nothing to do with your post, other than an obscure connection between leasing offices and landladies, but it made me laugh my ass off so I thought I'd share.
@hillary: water machine is one of the best things I have heard in ages. thank you for that.
Green, the world loves you despite its suckitude. Or, maybe that's just me. <3
I feel you about the water issues. My landlady can't freaking figure out how to fix the water issues in my building either! Every time I shower I have to make sure to move out of the way any time there is even the slightest temperature fluctuation in the water or I will be cooked alive or frozen alive, depending on how the water gods are feeling that day.
Fun stuff, I tell you!
Hi Green,
I hope things get better. The world does seem sucky right now but it will get better. At least that's what I keep telling myself.
I hope things at work get better. Life at a law firm is too much stress sometimes, everyone expects everything yet they never tell you exactly what they want. I spent this morning getting yelled at again.
