Dear Mr. President,
I know it's not your fault, the insanely protective treatment you receive... but where can I send a bill for the $30 I'm losing this week because someone decided that the entire length of 6th Avenue had to be blocked off for your visit to Denver?
You really didn't do anyone any favors today, and I experienced a moment of "glad I'm not employed", because I'd have been hard pressed to explain to my boss why I was so late getting back from lunch. That's right, Mr. President. Your little trip blocked off a major thoroughfare (or, for some of us, just kept us from getting to the other part of Aurora) during lunch hour.
That's super. I'm sure this stimulus package will be worth it. For someone. Since I only made about $2500 last year before I was fired, I doubt I'll be seeing any of it. So I'm hard pressed to feel awed or thankful for your visit to my living area today, or for the reasons you're here.
Dear Aurora/Denver officials,
Thanks for announcing that the road would be closed off. Had I known, I would have been able to plan ahead. Instead, I get to a light and have to figure out why. Thanks, douches.
Edit: You may not think $30 is a big deal, but it is when it's half of the total money I have the potential to earn in a week.
