Dear Cats,<br><br>
With all due respect, you're driving me nucking futs. I'm really, really tired and sometimes I just need to sit and not be expending energy on anyone. Including your furry cuteness. Following me around the house meowing will not change this.<br><br>
In addition, the following scenarios should not be construed as "kitty cat attention time":<br><br>
Reading DS a book<br>
Sitting on the floor<br>
Sitting on the couch<br>
Sitting on a chair<br>
Being upstairs<br><br>
Repeatedly jumping on me and/or DS during these situations will not result in more kitty cat attention. Again, I'm sorry for this.<br><br>
Your continued patience is appreciated while we work through this exhausted time.<br><br>
Thanks,<br>
Me.
 
Yes, that actually sums it up nicely.<br><br><i>there are two cats sitting next to the chair staring at me as we speak</i><br><br><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">
 
Dear Tummy,<br><br>
Clearly, you are not pleased with the dinner I ate last night. I gathered this from the hours of 3-5am in which it was all I could do to not throw up. The massive stomach cramps this morning were a nice reminder also. If I apologize and promise not to do it again, can we be friends again?<br><br>
Thank you kindly, with gastrointestinal peace,<br>
Me.
 
Dear Project Manager,<br><br>
I understand your motivations for getting another PM to help you artificially fill up my forcasting with non-existant work. I know that if my forcasting actually reflected the amount of work I have to do (that would be "none"<img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif">, Management would assign me to a project and you'd lose me as a resource to use on your project in the event something comes up and you need one. I get it. Really, I do.<br><br>
However, you can't (falsely) fill up my forcast and then not give me anything to do. I've been twiddling my thumbs for a month now. I'm getting carpal tunnel and if that doesn't kill me, the boredom (in conjunction with the butter knife on my desk) will.<br><br>
I know I told you I'd help you out on your project, but you don't seem to need help. So, I'm over riding the fake entries in my forcasting and having it reflect reality.<br><br>
Sorry, but not really.<br><br>
Kind Regards,<br>
Me
