Dearest Futura, for whom my love is endless,
I sigh as I write this. <Sigh.>
I used to love you, Futura. I even poured money out for you twice, going so far as to buy two legitimate copies of the URW++ perfect circles edition. OH, BUT ALAS, my 62-year old design colleague at my new job feels the need to use you in every fucking project she starts, for every client.
I will miss the fond times we shared, Futura. Maybe one day, I can look upon you again with that look of longing in my eye, and a twinkle of remembrance for what we once shared.

A designer that made it to 62 without becoming a real estate agent or suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wounder.
She's either a late-bloomer, having decided at age 55 to express her creative side, or we're witnessing an honest-to-goodness miracle.

she's been a designer from the jump off. she's actually an incredibly talented "big idea" person, but when it comes to design, let's just say this is her formula:
1. shop around istockphoto.com.
2. add customer logo.
3. replace type with Futura.
4. profit.
5. take profits, online shop the rest of the day away.- *copies down planTheBlueOne
