I would LOVE for that to be my next submission, but I don't think it would get published, and if it did, I don't think I could handle the backlash. Part of me doesn't want to care what other people think, but I know I'm still sensitive enough to it that it's not something I can subject myself to.

I was somehow the only person to hear you page me, which you only did once even though I never found you or figured out what you wanted me for, even the manager didn't mention it to me when I finally found him. If you need me for something, you need to either clearly tell me where you are, or you need to come and find me. I'm only in one of 3 places!

I still want my old life back. I went from earning a masters degree to considering applying for disability (which I won't get) and working a part-time job where I don't make a ton, even if I admit to liking it.
