Sticky notes

[constance]

I've had such a shittacular couple of days, I don't even feel like whining at length about them, and I'm sure you're dreadfully sorry about that. Well, but in lieu of actual whining, I am going to say just three things:

1. If you take advantage of my good nature, you may think you're getting away with it, but I will remember, and resent you for it, for whatever that's worth. Also for what it's worth, I will resent myself more, for not just fucking standing up and insisting on my right not to be taken advantage of.



2. Please, Universe, never let me work again for a man who starts network-wide system upgrades in the middle of the day without telling anyone he's going to be doing it and does it wrongly and doesn't actually finish anyway, and then disappears for a day and a half, and leaves Other People i.e. me to clean up the mess he's made. Thank you.



3. STOP GETTING CANCER, GODDAMN IT. That is an order, folks, and don't think I won't check to make sure you're obeying my edict.

There, I'm done. I'm ready to start tomorrow, just about. But before I do, could I just ask you one favor? Could you please just tell me that I don't suck? I could really use a little encouragement of that sort, right now. And in return, I promise to tell you exactly in what ways you delight me.

Oops--I swear I was going for "supportive" and not "whiny" in that comment. :-/

trying again!

Not only do you not suck, you are one of my very favorite people. I love the way you look at the world, your taste in media and design, your super cool house, your pets, your writing, and your kindness.

PS I promise not to get cancer.

Thank you for your promise! I'm sorry to extort it from you in this way -- but I believe we'll both be happier in the long run.

You are one of my favorite people too. I miss you very much, and I love you for, among many other things, braving NYC on your own, your taste in music, your Barrymore profile, and your ultra-sexy guitar. Which we are waiting on pictures, I'm just saying.

*torn between laughter and sympathy*

Oh, you are totally allowed to whine! If that's what you want to do, of course. Are you okay, do you want me to call, or are you in the hole-up-and-lick-your-wounds stage?

Many kisses to you, my dear one. I hope you are okay.

I do want to talk--the problem is that my roommate is home and the walls are very thin and I don't want her to overhear. Maybe sometime soon...?

DEFINITELY. I am at your disposal, always.

:D <3 :D <3 :D <3 I know that's not entirely appropriate under the circs, but I also know you'll understand. :*
