Letter to a (possibly) Disgruntled Person
(if you don't understand the word "disgruntled" it means unhappy)

It's very easy to misunderstand people. Or so they say. See...sometimes people don't realize how they are representing themselves to others. They think they are being really clever or really helpful. But sometimes what they don't understand is that what they show and what people see are many many many eons apart.

It's so easy to piss people off. I'm not sure but if you have been here (and are obviously here again reading this), let me just say that the way you've been representing yourself has not only pissed me off, but others too. You have made a fool of yourself simply by using the wrong words.
See, people don't like it when you disregard their side and think only of yourself. We understand the importance of the situation yet you must understand that we've been around longer than you and that we know more. Frankly put, you need to stop being so naive.

Nothing would please us more than to hand you the stuff early and forget about it. But hello! this isn't just about us. We cannot move unless the others *confirm* their stuff. If they don't, there is no use speculating. We could speculate anything from 20k to 10k!! Then when it doesn't work out, you tell us that what we have given you is not workable....and it would be a waste of our time. I don't know if you know, but time to a third year student is damned important! *sigh*

Frankly, I am tired of dealing with you. I thought I'd be fine with it but I absolutely CANNOT stand posers who think they are so smart when they don't know much. I'm not saying I am world-wise, but there are some things that I know that you should know. And there are things you know that I should know. I'm saying you should try LISTENING for once.

And let me just say this (and once I do it will be a direct ref to you), getting RM2200 is not something that's admirable when the money is used to produce that shit. We used only RM1000 and what we did was considered worthy of events that were being done out in the world. I'm not boasting. If I were, I would have laughed in your face the day you proudly told me that little fact. I'm just saying that there is lots more that you need to see and learn before you start pushing yourself forward and rubbing people the wrong way.

I would like nothing more than to like you and to work in peace with you. But I am done pretending to like people when I don't. I am done smiling at people when they piss me off. See, you got to know me at a time when I chose to be honest with the people around me about exactly how I feel about them. And all I can say to you is, I don't really dislike you but I'm getting there. I just think you should try being real and stop being so abrasive (that means unlikeable).

~Jo~

Ps: Try and think before you speak. And try to see what others see in you. Maybe then you will understand why people don't seem to be cooperating with you. I am not sorry because I have a right to be pissed at people who try and show me they are smarter when I didn't even ask for the information you were forcing on me. Next time, read carefully and listen carefully. I would love to be friendly and appreciate what you are doing but I don't appreciate people showing off.

Never have and never will.

So if you want me to appreciate you, then give your own ideas and thoughts. Don't think that by asking the Chair to tell your idea, we will accept it. We accept good ideas and we don't agree blindly with people in power. This is the real world. Get used to it.
