The B---- who stole my day

I don't hate all people, just some people. And the some people that I hate, it is usually because they don't respond to me in the way I had expected them to. And I don't adapt very easily.

Building on my last post, the girl who I will now forever remember as "The B---- who stole my day", is at it again.

I emailed her being that not only did she hand in her story on my day but to top it off she didn't even print out enough copies. So I messaged her to say, in the nicest way, "hey B----- who stole my day, please send me your story. Oh, and by the way, not cool what you did."

In my exact words:

"It seems there was some confusion, as you switched your workshop date with mine without letting me know, being that I missed two classes. I stayed up late finishing my story only to find out that it is now due in three weeks. As you can imagine, that was a bit distressing for me. There is nothing you can do about it now, but it would have been nice if you tried to get in contact with me, send me an email or ask the professor to let me know ahead of time. I would have had no problem switching with you and having extra time to work on my story, had you asked me. In general, that is the decent thing to do."


Me thinking that she would be all nice and apologetic and I would be all forgiving, like oh don't worry about it.


Her response:

"I'm sorry that you felt rushed without the knowledge that you didn't have to have your piece ready, but I can assure you that I had no idea that there was anything to inform you about.
I had an issue with my workshop date and asked the professor if she could switch my date and she told me that she would be more than happy to bump up my date earlier. At no point did she tell me that I would be swapping dates with you or that I should inform you about it. I was under the impression I was being moved into a free slot. I would think it would be the responsibility of the professor to inform her students of a swap or at least provide one student with the other's contact info.
The decent thing to do would be to not make assumptions about a situation because, like you stated, you were absent and therefore weren't there when this happened. "

(When I told the professor, she said she had assumed that this girl had worked it out with me. There is way too much assuming going on.)

 Thanks, B-----.

I noticed she was wearing a magen david necklace. Now I feel like saying, hey while I was out celebrating our holiday, where were you??

I so want to tell her that her story sucks, but she would probably just find a way to turn it around on me. And the worst part it, based on the first few sentences, she is a decent writer. Which makes me hate her even more.

Now do you understand?

  1. Wow, not cool! Maybe you should suggest some sort of communication piece as your next assignment. I wonder how they all would do on that.

  2. :) I have a feeling that wouldn't go over too well. I already barely feel like a part of the class.

  3. Not exactly siding with the B in Apt 23, but if the student asked the Professor, who then switched the date...its not really her fault, but is entirely the fault of the Professor.

    1. You are not siding with her but not siding with me. Regardless, I still hate her.
