EUREKA!!!

I have discoverd that I am an overpaid secretary.

How much longer can this continue?

Ode to a blemish

Good morning, once again I see that another night has come and gone and you my overstayed guest have continued on your venture to haunt my everyday. It seems as though every night before I slip into the sweet serenity of a deep slumber that I have the hopeful thought that you will take your leave while I am floating in dreams. Thus far, those hopeful thoughts have been dashed every time, for every morning when I awaken and look in the mirror you are still with me.

You came to visit about three weeks ago, clearly an uninvited guest but being 23 I have had my share of uninvited guests of your kind. You were in no way different, lurking somewhat unnoticed for no doubt days before you finally reared your ugly head. Of course, I was not horrified as I used to be but methodical in my procedure to politely escort you out of my life, if not forever, at least temporarily until one of your evil brethren decided to plot your revenge.

I did the usual, applied creams, masked, washed, concentrated all of my efforts specifically on you. Rudely you have not taken to any of my efforts and you continue to be a thorn in my paw.
So after two weeks of the usual routine I settled in on how to just ignore you totally. I concealed and powdered and looked anywhere but directly in your direction for fear that I would have an explosive outburst of anger. That seems to have only angered you more because you have continued to hang on to what little shallow existance that you can cling to. My efforts have not gone totally to waist. You have reduced the amount of space that you are consuming on my precious cheek but I want you totally out of my life.

After all of my attempts to rid myself of you, I have only one more. I am going to ask you nicely to PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE leave me. It doesn't matter when or how you do it just realize that you have now overstayed your welcome for almost three weeks and I am considered freezing you off if you don't GET OUT. It is now October 7 and I would like to go to Thanksgiving dinner, ALONE. That is almost two months away. I would truly like to be without you on Halloween but I am willing to accept Thanksgiving. At any rate please know that you have overstayed your welcome.

Thank you,

Britt
