I hate writing thank-you notes.
I loathe writing thank-you notes.
I hope they're not expecting gushes of effusive gratitude for luggage and jewelry, because they just ain't gonna get it.
Not even after I go and get myself another Coke. Delicate operations like these require caffeine and a thesaurus. |

Okay, I don't, I'm really and truly grateful for everything I got, but these things are driving me nuts. How many different ways can there be of saying "thanks for the cash/jewelry/luggage/miscellaneous thingamabobbers"?
Things which I am sorely tempted to scribble, just because I'm a horrible person and there's doubt as to whether anyone else can actually read my penmanship even though I'm using my Neat Handwriting:
"Thanks for the $50; I promise not to spend it on my carefully cultivated heroin habit!"
"I appreciate the $50 you sent me... so... any more where that came from?"
"I can definitely see how much thought you put into a $40 check!"
"I have no idea which one of my many gray-haired relatives you are, and I'm sure you can't pick me out of the grand horde of grandchildren, but hey, thanks for the loot anyway!"
"Thanks for the luggage; I may need it when I'm disowned and kicked out of the house for coming out of the closet!"
"Really, I appreciate the thought, but when I put "no bracelets" on my last gift list, did it not occur to you that watches tend to fall under the category of 'wrist jewelry'? Especially watches that look like bracelets?"
*sigh* Okay, I feel horribly guilty just for thinking this stuff. I should be thinking of the little children in Ethiopia that don't get to go to school at all and consequently don't get graduation gifts.
This will not make me like writing thank-you notes any more, though. |
