In which I rant at people through fake letters:
Dear Asshole who stole our Friends of the Library donation box,
Fuck you. All the money in that box was donated by community members. Fortunately, it was emptied shortly before you stole it, so you didn't get much, but still. Fuck you.
Dear Coworker,
Perhaps if you would agree to stop making up words for things that there are perfectly good words for, I would be able to help you understand our new ILS. When you just arbitrarily decide to rename processes in that ILS into your own particular idiom, I have to attempt to translate everything you're saying. Which in turn, leads to me talking to you like you're a five-year-old because I'm gently trying to get you to use the right frelling terminology so that you can make yourself understood.
So then you go and tell me off for making you feel stupid. Protip - if you could agree to a common language, maybe I wouldn't have to talk to you like that.
PS: I do not live in your head. Maybe you should try attaching some antecedents to your pronouns once in a while.
