Frustrated

I want out of this right now...It's giving me uninvited neckache, backache, headache, as well as heartache...

Come one poeple, don't be so silly...put our heads together and get this done! I would like for this to be my last academic presentation ever. I'm sure you guys would like the same as well. So, why can you show some effort and some interest to make this a kick-ass presentation ever?

Stop it with your president and vise president elect for the I-hate-the-program-chair club already. President or not, I just want to get this out of the way! I don't want to have anything to do with your childish little game you play, it's unfortunate that I don't want to be part of your club. I hope you understand, I just want to get my priorities straight, that's all.

Love
Your frustrated group member.

Job Hazard

Apparently I earned the character of a "Psychotic Bitch" in one of the beautiful minds I work with. I would like to think that this is among one of the many job hazards that come with the kind of work I do. I appreciate the opportunity for diversity in the roles I am sometimes invited to play. However, what if the character is one that is my personal pet peeve? Embrace or shun?

And so they say, "life is full of wonderful little surprises". I agree, and I am utterly privileged to be given opportunities of many kinds.
