The Note U Wrote

As is the case with just about every weekday morning, I got up early and walked to my car around 6:30am to head to work. This morning was a little different though, when I found the following note on my car window:

As you can see, the note reads, "Wes - U may be a joke but your parking job is pathetic!"

Now, I admit, it wasn't the best parking job in the world by me, but I was between the white lines. The person that ended up parking next to me had a huge van. My license plate is personalized and says "WES JOKE" and has said that ever since I started driving. That is how they knew my name. Nice bit of clue grabbing by this note writer. I live in an apartment complex with mostly teachers - as it is teacher housing.

The fact that I got the above note from someone living in this complex is what made it even funnier to me -

1) You're a teacher, of course you are going to have a pad of paper and pen on you to write random notes!

2) You're a teacher, shouldn't you have a pen that actually works to write a note? (notice how the pen changes starting with the "g" in "parking.") I know, I know, budget cuts, right?

3) It is "you," not "u." U failed here. I expect a teacher to know the proper spelling.

4) Your attempt at wit is amusing. Isn't "being a joke" and "being pathetic" the same thing? When you use "but" in a sentence, you should have two contrasting ideas. Valid effort....but no.

5) You underlined "pathetic" twice... if you wanted to show emphasis in the word, I would suggest italics, moron.

So while I don't think this note was neccessary - I do appreciate it because it gave me something write a blog about, and for that, I thank u.
