bunnyjadwigaDear Bergen County Drivers,
Yes, I know the big flashing lights are scary, especially when there are a lot of ambulances. However, a road accident on the OTHER SIDE of a divided highway separated with a JERSEY BARRIER from you does not justify a SEVEN MILE GAWKER BACKUP.
No Love,
Me
Dear Miss B.'s Fourth Grade Teacher,
If you insist on writing a precis of the Social Studies reading assignment and having the students copy it and study it BEFORE reading the reading assignment, please make it MATCH what the reading assignment says. We have a hard enough time keeping the peace between you and Miss B. without having to explain to her that she needs to give you back on the test the information you wrote even though it doesn't match the reading material.
P.S. 'Ancestor'-- you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Irritably,
ME
Dear System Administrator,
If you mean "the patch runs as a shutdown script" but you actually *write* "the vulnerability runs as a shutdown script" don't even think of treating me like an idiot for not understanding what you meant. Bugger off and take your attitude with you.
Out of patience,
Me

Date: 2009-01-27 04:37 pm (UTC)I experienced much the same thing on the Schuylkill a few years ago. All you could see were the lights of the fire trucks and ambulances and the reflection of the light from the police cars over the divider, but traffic on my side of the highway ground to a crawl in the hopes of seeing something gruesome.
