So, the whacked bitch called me and left a message asking me to say things about the people at my former job because for some reason, unbeknownst to the world, she decided to sue them.

I never called her back, but I did send her this email, which I am very proud of, and demonstrates my uncanny ability to find the five words that will send anyone into a blind rage.

Enjoy!

Libby,

I wanted to let you know that I do not wish to get involved in any Sno-Cap drama. I'm glad for Taylor that he quit, and I think that you should encourage him to move on with his life.

Libby, I knew you were lying to my face the whole time you were doing it, the first time I came to get my money. I also knew that you were in the Sno-Cap talking about me like I was harrassing you for money. I did get the note that you sent me, and the tone of it was obvious.

I'm sure that the only way that Taylor will read this is if he is right there when you read it, but there are a couple things that I want him to know. I think that Taylor is a good person with compassion, and common sense, INTEGRITY, and respect for others. I know that he is a non-confrontational person, and I'm sure that given the opportunity to deal with this on his own, he would make the right choice.

You are a very bitter person, Libby, and it's unfortunate that you lied to me because even though everyone told me that you were crazy, I thought that perhaps you were just socially retarded and came off wrong to people. But I guess they were right. It's sad, too, because I would have been a good friend to you.

In the short time that I've known you it has become very clear what an over-bearing mother you are. Don't you think that your kids feel embarrassed when you go gung-ho flipping out on the people they work for? I'm sure they just want to crawl under a rock and die. Part of raising mentally healthy, responsible people is to teach them how to deal with life on their own. Taylor is 17, he is for all intents and purposes an adult, and you need to let him deal with things like quitting his job HIS OWN WAY instead of trying to get "dirt" on everybody. What do you care who Gladys sleeps with, anyway? I know that it doesn't make a difference to me in my life, and I don't see how it should make a difference in yours.

The way that you bully Taylor into denying that he wants to talk to his dad is terrible. He tells you what you want to hear because you make him afraid to say the truth. I find it disgusting that you would manipulate him in a way that he has to make contact with his father behind your back. He was really excited about that Christmas package, Libby, and you squashed his little heart with the way you handled it. It's not your decision, and the sooner you realize that, and let go of CONTROL the better mother you will be. I'm not even a part of your family, and I can see the damage you are doing. In the long run, Taylor will do what he wants as far as his dad goes, and make his own judgements, and he's either going to talk openly with you about it, or keep it from you altogether. How you choose to deal with it from this point on will decide that. It's pretty fucked up that I even feel the need to stick up for him, but really, you needed to hear it from someone.

Your kids are good people in spite of the anger and vindictiveness that you teach as family values. Perhaps you could spare them some of the pain you've had in your life by encouraging them to turn the other cheek when their boss is a dick, or they don't get the day off they want.

I wasn't happy there, so I quit, and I found another job, and I'm going on with my life, regardless of how pissed off I got working there, or who anyone is sleeping with. I am not the kind of person who will lay down and let someone walk all over me, but I'm not going to try to ruin someone's livelihood, either.

Taylor, I really do love you and think the best as well as wish the best for you. Though I doubt you'll ever read this, I'm not participating because my concience tells me it's wrong to be spiteful, not because I'm not your friend. I have faith that given the opportunity, you'll do the right thing. I hope we'll meet again someday in life because I enjoyed working with you and being your friend.

I don't know what kind of information you wanted from me, Libby, but you'll have to get it on your own. I don't even know what you want to hear. All I can say is I feel sorry for your kids, because they love you, and in trying to help them you control their lives and humiliate them with your immature, self-serving behavior.

Damn, I'm sure glad I don't e-mail myself when I'm angry......
