I want to yell at someone. Not just because I'm angry, because though I am angry, it would lose its potency. No, I want to yell at someone because it would work. Convincing them logically doesn't. Coaxing them sweetly doesn't. Bribing, whining, and coercing are all out. My last recourse is violence.
I just wish they would shut up and work on the project, or the boss will fire us all.
If you can hear me, clap once.
ReplyDeleteIf you can hear me, clap twice . . .
Hmm.
ReplyDeleteI trained myself not to yell or raise my voice a long time ago. There are reasons for that, but they're not important. What's important is that you (real you and fic you) still have a voice. So use it.
Just don't strain it so badly that it goes away.
Hm. WELL this was not autobiographical I would like to point out.
ReplyDeleteYes, but you used first person. It's hard not to just respond to it.
