Open letter
Sep. 15th, 2003 12:09 pmDear Universe, people in my office, or anyone else who needs to hear this:
I screw up sometimes. Often, even. Sometimes I'm missing critical information. Sometimes I'm just careless or stupid or inattentive or lazy or entirely oblivious that something's amiss. But I'm rarely malicious. If you have a problem with something I've done, please tell me. If you've made a request of me and I haven't complied, please mention it to me, explicitly, in a timely fashion. If I'm doing something you find unforgivable or disgusting, some sort of direct notification of this might be appropriate. I probably haven't noticed.
You can even talk about me behind my back, make thinly veiled references about how incompetent I am in public, charge me late fees, or decide to hate me for the rest of my natural life, if you like. But I'd appreciate it if you'd take it to me first, before involving other people.
Sincerely,
Bumblebee
