Yes.
I know it's silly, but I don't feel like I deserve to do well in this class. I've done the best I can do this semester, but it's not my best, and that's bothersome. So, I feel like I don't deserve him working with me.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well, shoot. All that and it's just an e-mail saying that he's been out of the country, but he sees that he got several e-mails from me, and he'll get back to me in the next couple of days.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The best you can do is your best. And, sure, sometimes that best is better than at other times -- but then again, there are no absolute standards of bugdom. You just do your best, and go on to do your best again the next time. You may never hit perfect, but all the separate minor bests add up to a lot.

Yeah, well, you know. It's not a tag for nothin'. BUT, in my defense, tomorrow is the end of the withdrawal period. So, if I'm gonna drop the class, I have to do it by tomorrow. So, I guess I'd rather know how I stand before then.
Thanks, amych.

I may not know much, but I know you deserve to work with the very best, because you always do the best work you can.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Valuing the respect of your peers?
For a seatbelt? Your peers are harsh, yo.

They're very judgemental.

My cool coworker just gave notice. He's the only other person with my job title in our unit. We were hired weeks apart and he's been a good friend and sounding board and compadre. (He was at our wedding.)
I'm glad for him. Our jobs have gotten conspicuously suckier in the last couple months, and he's going to a better environment with higher pay. Good for him. Less good for me.
Incentive to get gone.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
You have my sympathies, Hec.
