(My entry for the January Fan Challenge@The Watercooler I just really wanted to let out the anger I've had for a certain character for a long time. Feel free to guess who you think it is. Also, sorry for flooding your Backroom updates with this silly little letter.)
Dear Know-it-all,
I feel like my brain has been itching me forever to send you this letter so I've decided to stop listening to reason and just say what's on my mind. It's been almost 5 years since I've had to get used to you and your obnoxiously white hair and I have to say that I've had enough. But you're so proud and selfish that you probably don't even know I'm alive, don't you? Well, let me refresh your memory.
The day we first met everyone said that I had to get used to the boss' death and just move on, and you know what? I tried. That day you didn't even bother to get up and shake my hand. I thought nothing of it and tried to work as diligently as I could. But when you forced my friend to take that radical decision and died, it just got personal. Since that day I've hated you and the whole world probably hates you too.
You're not only weird, you're whiny, irresponsible, and don't care about anyone or anything but your stupid reputation. I wish I'd say this to your face, but my dignity would probably stop me. But here it is anyway: you don't scare me, lowlife. I'm tired of seeing you every day at 6AM in your baggy shirt staring at a bunch of screens and accomplishing nothing. I'm tired of getting pushed around. I'm even tired of hearing your voice every damn day! I put my life on the line for you on more than one occasion, and every fiber of my being is repulsed by that. For God's sake, it's been 5 years and you've never even thanked me once!
I wish you'd understand that you can't replace him, but you're too high up in your little wonderland to notice it. He fought until the end and he didn't look like a fool doing it either. So get this through your hard skull: my old boss made a difference, but you never will.
So, for these reasons I've decided to quit. That's right, I'm out of this mess. And find someone else to accompany you on a plane because you're too scared of flying, pansy.
Hope to never see you,
Janny L
