Open Letters: Work Edition

This afternoon, I received the following email*:

Hi,

I know you bent over backwards to accomodate us doing a shoot at Your Studio next Tuesday, but now we can't do it that day. Can we do it April 12th, right in the middle of your biggiest & nastiest production schedule and two weeks past the date after which the Senior Vice President said we couldn't get into the studio under any circumstances? I know you're going to say no, so I'm copying the SVP in the misguided belief that he'll make you say yes.

kthxbye,
Clueless Moron

Although I sent a properly professional response, I really WANTED to send this one:

Dear Clueless,

So you'd like to cancel your studio time for next week.

The studio time that we didn't want to give you in the first place, but that you insisted was ohmygodabsolutelytheonlypossibletimeever that you could shoot your commercial? The studio time that necessitated my re-scheduling god & everybody in order to accomodate YOUR fire drill? That studio time?

You're canceling it?

Awesome.

Oh, and you'd like to have some time in the middle of our busiest month? You mean the month when all of my regular shows will be in production, two will be moving to new sets & timeslots, and two more will be loading-in / teching / rehearsing for their premieres in April?

Unfortunately, I will be unable to accomodate your request at this time.

Not just NO, not just HELLO NO, but areyoufuckingcrazy? NO and don'tmakemecomeoverthereandbeatyouwithashovel NO.

Yes, the Senior Vice President will tell you exactly the same thing.

Please go die in a fire.

No love,
Me

This is why I'm not allowed to bring a gun to work.

Completely unrelated point: I've been getting a lot of traffic from the Bones forum over at Television Without Pity since someone was nice enough to link to my post about the show. Welcome, fellow Bones fans!
