Dear Angola,

You're welcome.

Agate on the web?

Write-Brained

 

Dear Write-Brained,

We didn't have time to get it into the paper, so we put it online.

Yours,
Angola!

 

Dear Angola,

That fucking sucks! Don't ever do it again!

SIncerely,
Tommy_D

PS: John, When I discovered that F-Bomb by noneother than Robert Fick, who played tonight for the Nationals, I showed it to my boss and his jaw dropped. Let's just say Mr. Henry has become a newsroom legend because of that.

 

Dear Tommy,

It was in the jump in our paper and the scary (or strange) thing is that only a couple of people called to complain about it -- which I assume means most of our readers didn't follow the story to the jump.

Best wishes,

John

 

Dear John (God that sounds strange typing that)

Then it is lucky for you that people don't continue past Braves jumps. However, where I'm at they would shit a brick if that had gotten in. Thank God for my young eyes at the time.

Sincerely,
Tommy_D

 

Dear program that posts our stories to the web,

Will you please stop putting the agate I just typed in as the main story when I clearly marked it as a '7' priority and the rest of the stories are marked '3' priority.

Yours,
Angola!

 

Dear Angola!

You should shoot the damn IT/Web uploading asshats that are clearly misunderstanding your meaning.

Sincerely yours in saying death to agate,
Tommy_D

 

Dear SEs out there:

Yesterday I saw on the front of a daily (32,000) sports section a story about the hot dog eating champion perhaps being unable to compete this year.

WTF? Is competitive eating now a sport? I recall seeing a thread about this a while back.

Sincerely,

Platy

 

To current employer:

Thank you for having an extra computer mouse laying around today. It makes a great belt.

Dear boss,

Thanks for all the design fun this morning.

UT

 

Dear (temp) co-worker,

Thank you. The front is a thousand times better now. You have imaginative vision and pragmatic ideas. The combination worked out well in our redesign, and the upcoming section will ring in the new era here (at least for sports).

Cheers,
Xan

 

Dear Platy,

This ran on 1A of the paper I work for. I didn't get it either.

Sincerely,
Tommy_D
