Dear Very-Distant-Coworker:

When I sent you the email asking you a whole list of questions about how many copies of a particular document you received, I didn’t want a reply of “Yeah, I received a bunch.”  I asked you who you received them from, how many copies you got, and when you received them because (whaddasurprise!) I wanted answers so that I could track down the problem at our end.

Sincerely, OmegaMom-the-support-person

Dear Coworker-of-OmegaDad’s:

When he sent you the email stating that he would be in your town to do training, that he needed all people there for training, and asking what would be a good week for this, he did not need a two-page reply outlining all your difficulties, listing everyone’s schedule for two months, and a request for special trips to train Joe, Moe, and Schmoe.  Please don’t get angry when he replies quoting his original email and repeating that he needs all people there for the training.

Sincerely, OmegaMom-the-spouse-who-likes-to-see-her-husband

Dear L0we’s:

Please train your cashiers to use the L0we’s part number, rather than the manufacturer’s part number, when entering data.  That way, we won’t be told that parts that we know are in stock are out of stock and now on special order.  Oh, also, you won’t charge us for special ordering.  And we won’t have to deal with the front desk or the head cashier to get a credit.  Which we can’t use anywhere else.  Which might have been nice to have in our bank account, instead.  Hey, maybe you can start offering, say, checks to people for such overcharges?

Also, this time around, please be sure to deliver when you say you’re going to deliver.

Also, this time around, please be sure to deliver everything we ordered, which was in stock when we ordered it, rather than surprising us at delivery time by not having everything we ordered.

Does this make sense?  Good.

Thank you, OmegaMom-and-OmegaDad-about-to-embark-on-another-chicken-coop-for-smaller-birds

Dear Fruit Flies:

This is a declaration of war.  Die, die, die!

Sincerely, OmegaMom-the-lousy-housekeeper

Dear Kozmik All:

What have I done that I should deserve this ongoing itchy scalp?  The doctor’s antibiotics are not helping.

Sincerely, OmegaMom-the-itchy

    Have you tried tea tree oil for your scalp problem? I swear that stuff is miraculous. I have eczema and it does wonders.

    Ack. I’m sorry about all of the above, but mostly about the itchy scalp. That’s a truly maddening feeling.

    Hope your scalp is feeling better soon…. that would be maddening. Can you do some aveeno oatmeal bath soak- meant for itchy skin, but the scalp is skin.. right?

    It has been that kind of week, hasn’t it? I hope your itchy scalp has cleared up. Go to the People’s Pharmacy online and there might be a helpful item for itchy scalps.
