Dear JtohisPB,*Hugs Quoll*
Hope things got better for you today, this sounds rough.
Thank you for this, and yep, it's emotionally confusing and unpleasant and something I will have to let slide I guess.

Dear Sis,
Your advice about sitting backwards on the chair has indeed eased the pain somewhat, however I now walk like I have been out droving for a good six months and I feel that my ability to pass a bowling ball with a high degree of nonchalance is perilously close.

Part of me really wants to ask if you're okay, and part of me really wants to giggle.
What to do, what to do...

I reached for something the other night at work and something in my lower back went pop, all of which is something of an understatement, it's been bloody painful but is easing slowly.
I'm not sure if you've ever seen a heavily pregnant ewe that has rolled into a small dip in the ground and been stranded on her back try to get up, but it's quite funny to watch, unless of course you are the pregnant ewe and every twist you make sends pain shooting up and down your body and then you realise you are in the pregnant ewe position and start to laugh which causes sharp pain to shoot up and down your body and all the while you have a full bladder and really need to get out of the pregnant ewe position so that you wont have sharp pain and pee shooting up and down your body. Well that's how I was the other night.

Dear Gov't.
I hate you, I really really do. You said you'd get around to our case in October... of 2008. October of 2009 is almost here, and I'm incredibly sick of eating ramen, not-really-beef hamburgers, and cheap hot dogs because of you. Pay up what you owe us before I go into another crying fit of deciding between "chicken-", "beef-", or "shrimp-" flavored noodles. I'd really enjoy a nice bowl of chicken noodle soup, or some grilled shrimp, or even a steak instead. Chinese would be better, though.
Angrily,
me.

Dear mom-in-law.
I'd love a little respect every now and then. Treat me like an equal, instead of an 8 year old. Please stop trying to find new and unique reasons to make me cry on a daily basis. I know you're sick, and I realize I'm not the greatest daughter-in-law on the planet, but really, did you have to mock the importance of my anniversary? Is it necessary to reinforce the fact that I smoke a lot? Do you feel that it's good to remind me that the only thing in the house that I'm able to drink is soda, and then degrade me on how much of it I drink? Sure, there's other stuff in the house *you* can drink, but you're not lactose intolerant, you don't mind coffee, and you can't taste the chemicals in the water. When I drink, why is it necessary for you to tell everyone just "how crazy" I am when I'm drunk, and warn everyone not to let me drive, despite the fact that I stop drinking before I get drunk, and I don't even drive when I've had cold medicine? And when I try to better myself, is it necessary to tell me just how badly I will fail? I already know I will, but I like to pretend, every now and then, that I won't. And just because you haven't had any in 30 years, doesn't mean I should have to hear your opinion on how often I buy condoms and how it screws up the budget, especially since I'm not allowed to comment on how much more expensive your hair dye and lotto are.
I might be a sub to your son, but I am *not* your doormat. ...at least, I wish I wasn't. I wish we could get along without you belittling me at every turn.

Dear a certain admin.
OMG, you are dense. You are the reason the community is failing. It's not the bad reg, it's not the fact the server crashes, it's not the loudmouths that everyone gets along with, it's *you*. You don't understand how to treat people fairly, despite the fact I've held your hand and babied you since day 1. Despite the fact that you are very intelligent, you are honestly the most *dense* person I've had the displeasure of training. You are too immature to be in any sort of leadership position, especially the one you have now. You might have the experience to work the back-end, but you don't have the level head that it takes to be a public figure. You, and your clan, imho, are all troublemakers. You look for the line to cross, and take one step back, trying to see how close you can get without crossing it. But you don't get that it's not about "crossing the line or not", but respecting people... and none of you respect anybody. You personally say you do, but your actions prove otherwise. And then you wonder why those of us in charge have trouble trusting you, let alone enough to make you one of us.
Your days as admin are numbered.

Dear spider, or centipede, or whatever you are.
I know where you are. You better hope I don't see you run out from that little corner where I can't reach you, or you're gonna be a nasty smear on my desk.
Leave now, and I might be merciful and give you a quick death with my shoe... otherwise, I'm getting the bug spray.

Dear all you people who followed me for three years,
I'm sure you've noticed what a terrible leader I am. The irony, of course, is that I always told you guys that I wanted to get out of that position and have someone else step up. I don't think you believed me. Well, you're getting what you asked for: I'm neurotic, insecure, far too quick to anger, and very, very bad at expressing what I think. And I'm The Big Guy In Charge. I am your fucking leader.
Or, at least, I was. There's a reason, again, that I'm stepping down. It has to do with some of the negative qualities I already listed. I know you guys are tired of them. I'm tired of them. Nobody wants me to be in charge anymore, least of all me. It's best for all that I leave.
But now what are you going to do?
I told you once already--three years too late, but I did finally say it--that the one thing I offer to your group, the only thing I offer, is that I care. Someone else can lead. Someone else can conduct. Someone else can run rehearsals. Someone else can book concerts. Someone else can write the sheet music we use. But what no one else ever did--the one thing I was alone in offering--was care. You see, this music is an abiding passion to me. I sing, and I sing, and I sing, and I never, ever get tired of it. It's not even accurate to say that I love it, because you can learn to live without something you love, when you have to. This music isn't something I love, it's something I am. And it's that passion, that tirelessness, that energy, that I provided.
And I don't think you knew. And I know you didn't care. This is my dream, one of those secret treasures I kept in the distant recesses of my soul; one of those things I never showed to anybody. I showed it to you. And you didn't care.
The other reason I'm stepping down is that you need me too much. The energy and passion I provided, in trying to live my dream... You just leeched it. You let it carry you. I gave my all and you just grabbed on to my coat tails. Now, I'm not saying that this behavior isn't normal in music, or even expected; I mean, whatever band I found next, I'm fair sure that I'll be front and center of that too, no matter how talented the other members are--not because I think they'll be bad, but because this shit is Just Too Important to me for me to be anything but at the steering wheel. And whoever else is in the band, I'll drag them along too, because it's what we control freaks do when we're musicians. We've learned to live with it. And I won't begrudge them, as I don't begrudge you.
But when I showed you something that is my dearest dream, you told me it wasn't important. I gave you the best part of me, all that I am that is worth anything at all in this world, and you told me it was dross. And those wounds will take a long time to heal.
Good-bye.

Dear ex-clan members,
I'm sorry I wasn't the best leader. I wish our time in CAL and BoE went better. I wish I had the experience in our first season that I do now. I wish I had never made that one guy the captain, and instead put the responsibilities upon my own shoulders. I'm really not cut out to lead a competitive team, though- I just don't have enough experience on about half of the maps, and because my computer is failing, I no longer have the opportunity to learn further. Like the captain, I just wanted to shoot face and take names while I still had time. I shouldn't have drug you down along with me. I'm sorry, and I wish I had the means to apologize to you all. Maybe one day we could do it all over again, the right way this time, when we are all done with our real-life issues.
Much love,
me.

Dear current clan members.
It's not my fault this time, blame the leader and yourselves. I'm only being the captain because I promised I would this season. If ya'll would get your acts together we could've already been in S1 of eCO and rocking it. *sigh* I wonder if I can't find a spot in some other team for S2.

Dear X,
I will only be available at my current job for another two weeks (after that I will be training my replacement), and not working at all on the 9th, 12th, and 16th. If you've ever thought of calling again, my friend, just to say hello, this is it.

ETA: No expectations whatsoever, the status quo is working out great for me.

Dear (hopefully soon ex-) colleague,
everyone thinks you suck, but you don't see it because there's a solid brick wall in front of you, and you still think you're the best. Reality check: you're not!
A co-worker who'd love to kick your sorry ass, and he's not the only one.

Dear X,
I'm sorry I was an ass the other night, but lighten up, we all have bad days. I apologized and am making amends, so why are you still ignoring me?

Dear X,
At one time, I considered us friends. I don't know what happened, but slowly we stopped communicating. I figured you must have found other friends and moved on, and it hurt my feelings. Now I just miss talking to you.
Just not brave enough to ask why.

She's been on my mind a lot lately.As for your other post:
Sometimes you need to bite the bullet, I guess it depends on just how important it is (odd advice coming from "Mr Allergic to Lead" I know).

Not to get too maudlin or anything, but I'm betting she would be very proud of you.
As for the other, not sure it's worth it. I can almost guarantee the result would not be what I'd want it to be. Better to let this particular sleeping dog lie.
