I really, really loathe people who express helplessness in the face of clear instructions.
Agh. Personal pet peeve of doom. And, for some reason, women get an extra soopersized helping of beejvitriol when they do this.

I don't want to do you. Go away now.
You know, I somehow COMPLETELY missed the "Dear Work," part of this post and thought these were the clear instructions you gave a person. I read it a few more times with that perplexed dog head tilt before I finally read the greeting.
