Here's what I came up with -
I,[name], resident of the neighborhood at [address] in [city] support the efforts of [Boss] with [Boss' company] to have a zoning variance granted for the residence located at [address].
The residence located at [address] has been an eyesore to our neighborhood for two years. Its ramshackle appearance brings down the vitality of our community as well as the property values. I feel that his plans to renovate this building and turn it into a multi-housing building would bring back the vitality lost by its current outwardly showing.
While this area is a residential neighborhood, the stretch of Washtenaw Avenue that it sits on is a bustling and diverse commercial district. As such, granting the zoning variance and allowing [Boss] to open this residence to inhabitants will help inject new life into our neighborhood and bring new business to our area.
I fully support [Boss's] efforts and urge the members of the Zoning Board of Appeals to vote in favor of granting the zoning use variance.
My boss just caught me cursing at a banana.
One of the partners caught me muttering "what the fuck" at one of the books this morning.
the fight between the British and the Americans over how to pronounce Aluminum Man.
I don't think there's much of a fight there. The debate is on how to spell the element.
lisah, Cafepress has a metric shitload of baby things with Shakespeare quotes on them. And here's what you get when you search for kids' clothing with the keyword "theatre." Some painfully dumb stuff, but tons of really cool and amazing designs too.
most theatre people I have met, including myself, hate the comedy tragedy masks!
Word. I don't really hate them, but man are they over-used.
I'm sure you could find a bunch of Shakespeare stuff - I know there's the plush Shakes doll....
Does anyone have a Mr. Bento? I'm wondering if I should buy one.
I don't think there's much of a fight there. The debate is on how to spell the element.
I thought the British pronounced "aluminium" with the extra syllable...
Also: Best Bib EVER.
I just sent that to DH, subject line of email "Why we should have another baby."
ION, whew, Talky Perfumed Volunteer Lady is finally leaving for the day. She's been SO talky and SO perfumey today that I've barely got a thing done.
This sharing my office with the departmental shared office/lounge business SUCKS. I've spent most of the day on utterly unrealistic fantasies about my WIP selling at auction for a "DO quit your day job" advance. Or, you know, "Calgon, take me away, to a land of handsome and daring men with swords, who talk only as much as you want them to and in deep, well-modulated British voices, and who are perfumed only by anachronistically frequent bathing habits."
