Dear...
Dear Prius owners:
I know you are saving the environment and I am glad that you have a larger sense of social responsibility than me, but can you save the planet in the slow, middle or car-pool lane?

Dear Qwest...
I'm glad to see that you're offering a decent buy out plan to get some of the people that have 30+ years and are little productive to finally retire/leave the company.
But please tell me you 1) don't plan on closing the center down where i work... and 2) get about 2x as many new hires as are retiring or have retired the past year.... i know you big wigs have most weekends off and what not... and we peons don't mind working 1-3 weekends a quarter... but we do have lives out side of work... and would really not like to work every other weekend or more.
So get some new blood in the company... the new hires may actually give a rats a$$ about meeting your goals where most people with 25+ don't and the few younger are too beat down by work schedule to care
K thanx bai

The phone wouldn't blow as much if I would of gotten that $100 rebate. I look forward to never being your customer again someday.

i had problems with sprint... i switched to t-mobile afterwards
so our official end of contract date was june 23, 2007, but they had january of something of 2008 because they mesed up our plan and changed it back in january of 07. so they typed up a note on their computer that the official date was june 23rd. and, well, we cancelled and they billed us 600 (120 per phone) for early termination. they said that they don't see anywhere that says our contract expired on june 23rd (we terminated the contract well into august). i had a guy that worked at the sprint store that even saw the note on his computer. in the end, i went through 5 customer service reps, 1 manager, and 3 months of waiting for an "investigation" which they said it'll take about 5-10 days. I called back for the results and they said there was no investigation that was conducted ...
so. yeah. die sprint. now.
edit: oo i get the thread now! haha
Dear Mr. PoPo who issued me a ticket:
WHY! Of all the days in my life, you issue me a ticket during finals week. Do you enjoy making a college student's life more stressful?
...I hate you.

Dear Peruvian Chinese restraunt in SF
Thank you for the best chinese food EVER. I will continue to patronize your restraunt at least three times a year even if I move a few states away. That's how good you food and service is. I don't know your names, but you know me and always treat me and my dad well.

Dear Oblivious girls on cell phones,
Look behind you before backing into the rear quarter of my box...
Can't see my box at a dead stop behind you? Can't hear the repeated plaintive bleating of Vanilla's horn? You DAMNED sure heard me when you got out of your car, didn't you.
Luckily your insurance is paying for everything, including the rental car while one of the best shops in the area gets my bumper back to "new."
(No sheet metal damage, only plastic bumper sheath.)
*mutter*

Dear reader
I dunno why im typing this.... guess cuz its killing time at work since its pretty slow now... go figure for 3am. lets see...random comments...
Fed Ex why couldnt you show up today with my Scion United box?? slackers
Anyone want to buy a massage chair? $200 and its yours u-haul ... Tikibox needs new shoes asap!
also 2 iceled LED trons...small verison of my muliti color LED kit... pretty cool stuff... $70 and they are yours.. i'll even include a factory look switch for 1st gen xB/xA.. cuz again.. Tikibox needs new shoes ASAP
Weather.... stop with the overcast already... its May dang it... people need some sun up here to be happy!!!
house buyers.... buy my house.... no not cuz tikibox needs new shoes... because i'm sick of paying for it...
WA DOT/Gov... get off your buts and finish the dang road projects... you wanna know why no wants to vote/pay for more road projects... because we dont see the results/bennifits from 95% of them , we sit in traffic/detours etc for months on end for nothing because by the time you finish either some other part of the road failed, or more people are around and you start another "imporovement/expansion" project about 1/2 mile down from the one you just finished about 2 days after finishing the first... i know our weather makes road work a pain but come on.. i've seen road projects (hwy 99 between fed way/seatac) sit for months w/no noticable progress even when weather is relativly decent fof 2+weeks. Why was it back in the 40s-50s etc the could roll out miles of road in like a week, and now days it takes years to get 1/2 a mile done? wtf?? GIT R DONE!!
To those NIMBY's (Not in my back yard) that kick and fight just about everything that comes remotely close to them (or not) sometimes ya just gotta bite the bullet... this state wastes to much time and money on trying to get 99.9% approval on just about anything done around here barring a major failure..... quit thinking short term and think long term... chances are whatever the project is it will bennifit you at least indirectly at some point, either by reduced traffic, better access, or heck... could even make your home prices go up... if it has decent access to/from major roads or other things...
State patrol.... i understand that speeding is against the law and while annoying to get caught, even if your "goin with the flow" of 95% of the traffic, why not go after those that are going dangerously below the speed limit?? those in the right hand lane are at least tryin to keep out of the way... but those in the other lanes goin 10mph or slower for no reason other than they can.... wtf? tag them as well.... not just the guy goin 5'ish over the limit...
hmm.. ok... end of my Dear Rant...... for now.... things that flow from ones fingers while up late.... and on caffine...
