one year after

i have held office for a year and seven days. in that time, i have cried, cajoled, comforted, contained. also screamed, silenced, supported, sacrificed. have i mentioned pleaded, put off, persevered, protested? STOP. if i continue, i will find myself starting at 'A' and then i will be insufferable.

antagonized, argued, authoritative, aarrgghhhhh!!!!!!

yet no matter what alphabet it is, i have come to see how amazingly different people are, how situations end up differently even if they seem to start somewhat similar, how different it is on the other side of the fence.

it's dealing with the differences that make this otherwise routinary job worthwhile. but then again, you don't have M, B, P, and BP in your office.
