Dear Mrs. Lopez:

Last week, we met to address your continuing job-performance problems
related to thegiving out of dissemination of serving of items from the dessert cart
you operate in the newspaper’s senior staff dining room. These problems have
persisted despite repeated counseling sessions withme my boss Amy Jenkins
supervisors as well as staff training programs. Specifically, your refusal togive
disseminate serve dessert to certain members of the senior staff has resulted in
several written complaints from administrators at thisestablishment paper
company.
Mrs. Lopez, your refusal to serve dessert to certain members of the paper’s
staff is disruptive to food service operations, and the explanations that you have
provided for your behavior are notsatisfactory wholly believable inexplicable
acceptable. This letter is being issued as a written warning with the expectation
that there will be an immediate and sustained improvement in yourwork attitude
food service dissemination job performance. Failure to comply will result in
further disciplinary action.
On a more personal note, Mrs. Lopez, please stop refusing to give senior
staff members dessert, even if you feel, as you explained to me last week, that
they don’t “deserve it.” Which members of the paper’s staff do or do not deserve
dessert is not your decision to make! And I would hate to see you asked to leave
the food craft services department over something so silly! I would really miss
you—and your chocolate chip cookies!

Damn it.

What are you doing?
Katydid:
WORKING. Stop IM-ing me, you know the T.O.D. doesn’t like it when we
IM during office hours.
Sleaterkinneyfan:
The T.O.D. can bite me. And you are not working. I can see your desk from
here. You’re making another one of those To Do lists, aren’t you?
Katydid:
It may look like I’m making a To Do list, but really I am reflecting on the
series of failures and bad judgment calls that have made up my life.
Sleaterkinneyfan:
Oh my God, you are twenty-five years old. You have not even had a life yet.
Katydid:
Then why am I in such mental and emotional anguish?
