I was excited about leaving at 5am instead of 6 am this morning. That was an exciting gift. I tip toed up the stars and crawled in bed. I promptly fell asleep for almost 3 hours. It was deliteful.
I had to send an email to someone that I don’t particularly like. All of this person’s moral character is executed to specifically only benefit themselves. Ugh!
This person reached out and needed my help. I could feel the sickly sweet fakeness ooozing out from each word.
Why? Why do people have to act like this? If you want the answer to a question, ask it.
“Hi,
I hope you are doing well” -no you don’t! You need something and are usually a jerk. Now, suddenly today you hope I am doing well? It went down hill from there and their ending was “best” and then their name. Bragging in their sign off? Are they stating they are better or dare I say “the best”? Typical.
My response back included factual answers and information. Not “I hope this email finds you well.” It’s not that I am wishing ill on them, I just don’t care how the email “finds them”.
I thought about what I wanted to say in my email response.
“Hi
I hope you are having the day you have earned for yourself. The answers to your questions are X, Y and Z.
If you have any questions, please find someone else to bother.
Patti”
I think I would have to clean up that last sentence a little. I am open to ideas.
My level of frustration with this person is fairly high. Sometimes it is best to say what you need to say, with silence. There was no fluffing in the email on my part. It wasn’t unkind. It just wasn’t warm the way I normally treat people who haven’t gotten on the wrong side of me. Funny part is, there aren’t that many people I consciously do that for. But this person won a jerk award!
I decided I was in tired and rare form and it was best to go to bed before 8 pm. Good night!
I love the last sentence!
