Sick AND Tired

Ladies and gentlemen, I was just about to make a major announcement when she informed me that attorneys must review the document first.

“What you’ve been writing has been fantastic,” she said.

I squared my shoulders and broke into a broad grin.

“I don’t think you understand,” she said. “The next time you’re reading the dictionary, don’t skim. Look closely at the second definition of that word.”

She looked at me with a gaze that penetrated my soul. I felt the cold dagger plunge deep.

Then she continued speaking. “I’m tired — actually, I’m sick AND tired — of mopping up the Pavlovian slobbers after you’ve been urged on by your Facebook friends. No more. I’m done cleaning up your messes, so I’ve asked the attorneys to vet the document before it goes public.”

She told me that she expects the attorneys to complete the process quickly so that I can make the post on Thursday. “Please tell your friends,” she added, “that some sections may be redacted.”

So I encourage you to check back on April 18th when I hope to have something to share. I’ve got the “mother may I” ready.
