I looked across the table at the student as she chewed her hair and made a politically savvy joke to her mother. I looked down and quickly rescanned the report in front of me. I had read it more than once and highlighted the important parts. I poised my pen to take notes and then I looked at her again.
I was all business. So was she.
And so we started. That little dance of question and answer.
Do you like school? yes and no
What's your favorite subject? it varies
What do you like to do for fun? torture my mom (ha ha, right mom? that is now my hobby.)
On and on I went and she went right along. She answered and asked and parried and laughed. Her mom sat beside her wringing her hands. Then we got to the coup de grace; the question of all questions.....
How would you describe yourself? well, i am not sure how to describe me but my grandmother once told me that i am a "quirky little duck."
She smiled enthusiastically, defiantly. She knew she was not the highlighted parts of that report.

Those words have been floating around my head for some time now. They struck a chord. Good Lord, they have become part of my vernacular.

I know we all do our best good when we see each other with kind eyes. I know we all live our best lives when we put aside the junk and engage. But it is hard to resist the lure of the label and the busy-ness of organizing our little sphere of influence.

These were my thoughts of the last few weeks. But here was my thought in that moment:
i wonder if she thinks i am this name tag in pumps or does she see that i am just an older larger quirky little duck?
Luckie me to always find the people in my life to teach me what I need to remember.
I would imagine by the silence and the lack of replies to my last few emails. I wont be seeing rolex replica watch or even receive my money back. I guess I will just sit here and wait. My guesses were right. The silence says replica watches uk all. Disgraceful that you do this to hard working people who are genuine and honest, two things that probably indicate to me your company is not. If you said you would send me replica watches sale then do the decent thing and do it for the right reasons, or at least refund replica watches sale. If you choose to ignore me, I will take steps to legally recover my money. Why don't you do what you said you would do and send me the replacement rolex replica sale as per your email. If you decide to continually refuse to reply to rolex replica sale I have contacts at the OFT and will do what I deem necessary to expose your conduct with your customers. Remember just because you are so far away does not mean you are exempt from exposure.
