three hundred words a day. july 12.

Where did the day go?  Do you ever feel like that? 

I sat down at my computer to work this morning and before I knew it - the day was almost gone and I hadn't really accomplished much.  Well, with the exception of work that its.  I did get quite a bit of work done.  Although, as you've probably gathered by now, I'm somewhat ambivalent about work lately.

Yesterday, I had a conference call with the agency that will be replacing me.  I was asked to meet with them to review a piece of software that I use daily for which they will now assume responsibility.

One hour to show them what I have done six or seven hours a day for almost twelve years. 

This was one of those situations where there is so much I wanted to say and yet the most professional thing, the right thing, was just to simply hold my tongue and do what was being asked of me.

I'm generally fairly agreeable.  I realize that life is change and that we must adapt.  I am going to be just fine.  In fact, I had an interesting job offer today that I just might seriously consider.

I guess what gets me most was the presentation.

Oh, by the way... 

After twelve years. 

Just, oh - by the way...

What a sad commentary on the human race if this is how we treat each other. 

We had a relationship.  It didn't work out.  I get it.  I'm a big girl.  No need to hold my hand, no need to pretend to care more than you do.

But, the very least you could do is say, I'm sorry.

Be kind.  Be gentle.  Treat others as you would want to be treated.

Just how difficult is that, exactly?
