2011 I am sensing some aggression toward the Coolidge clan and I am here to tell you that I am very happy to work with you. There is really no need for you to continue to flex your new authority because I actually respect you, am excited about your arrival and looked forward to meeting you back in 2010. Sure, I need to know your style and understand your expectation but I think a brief meeting to review these points could be arranged. Just give me a few dates, I will be happy to make some time.
I am just wondering what the source of your hostility is? Did you feel that 2010 was too relaxed, too accommodating? I agree it had a different way of doing things than 2009 for sure...Allowing us a full 10 months to meet our family deductible... you may not roll that way. That's cool but I really don't feel we need to rush it this year. Do you? One ER visit is fine to start. Stitches are great! But I really think maxing out at 3 dr. appointment a week is appropriate, one for each kid?! I don't think we need to add another specialist in at this point either. Let's make a deal and stop with the fever on at least one of the kids so that they can go back to school and I wouldn't mind if you reduced the treatments down from every 4 hours round the clock to just every 4 hours during the day. That is totally do-able!
Oh and thanks for hooking Andy up with a job... Oh, wait that was 2010. Hmmmmm, well, just so you know, this new job takes him out of rotation so it really would be helpful if you could ease up a bit!
2011 this is my first outreach to you and I hope that we can find a nice middle ground in the coming weeks. I mentioned this previously and I meant it, I am not scared of you - I actually respect you, but subsequent communication may not be as pleasant. AC
