My Dealer Credit is Bad

At a time when most hardworking Americans are concerned with the auspices of an economic recession, I too have been financially impacted, in a very personal way. A while ago, I ran up a small debt with a friend; what follows is a raw, unadulterated account of the emails sent by my friend as he tried to maintain grasp of the tenuous, and increasingly theoretical, outstanding debt. (The messages have been edited minimally in order to preserve anonymity). The first message arrived on March 4, 2008.

I don't want to be a dick but I feel like you aren't planning on paying me back and I think you are taking advantage of me being nice. Can you please just give me a call and let me know if you think you can get that loot anytime soon?

…But lets chill some time when I am in Menlo Park, are you still hanging out with [Robert] and stuff? Sorry also if my email sounded rude below, I had a really bad performance review this afternoon from my boss, and I sent it when I wass angry and that is never a good thing to do.

Sorry again to write so much, hope your doing well and we should hang out at some point I feel like we havent kicked it for days.
