Dear regular oil change place,
You went out of business. Why did you have to go and do that?
Dear oil change place I ended up going to,
Yes, I am a woman. Yes, machinery in general is my enemy and we do not understand each other. No, I am not an idiot. Yes, I can tell when I'm being talked down to with the assumption that I am incapable of either reasonable thought or the ability to understand words of one syllable. Thank you for reminding me why I haven't taken my business to you in 4 years.
(I love my state. I do not love its "good old boys" attitude.)
Dear mailman,
I am very, very glad that, among other things, I decided to bring some of my laundry to the apartment today before work, what with your leaving a box at the door and all. (It was just 3 manga that i didn't even spend $20 on total, but that's not the point.)
Dear Hastings,
Between your taking 3 weeks to get my copy of Larklight in and your employee's "such a hassle" attitude at my ordering a whole three books, I am reminded of why I always do my local special ordering at Waldenbooks, where they don't get annoyed by having to provide customer service.
While at Hastings, though, I did do some browsing. Anyone have opinions on any of the following? (All of which sound like they'd either be fun, or leave me extremely annoyed.)
Alex Archer's Rogue Angel series
John Levitt's Dog Days
Kristin Landon's The Hidden Worlds
Talia Gryphon's Key to Conflict (and sequels)
