I'm still thinking about what Lili P. said earlier—it really gets you wondering, doesn't it? It’s one of those things that sounds simple on the surface, but once you start peeling back the layers, there's so much more to unpack. I don't know, maybe I'm overthinking it—that's probably just my way—but I can't quite shake the feeling that there's a deeper point there. kaže:
The Associated Press is actually such a class act. I honestly dare anyone to go back and read through her posts—you’ll see exactly what I mean. Writing something like that to her was completely unnecessary and, frankly, just plain mean.
I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the support. It really means a lot—honestly, reading stuff like this is pretty special.
Look, honey, you wiped my post, and honestly? It was actually pretty decent—well-written and respectful too. But now the whole thing feels pointless because his coworkers already told him he’d had enough. And once some random girl stepped in to take her shot... things just spiraled way past the point of no return. There isn't much left to say, really, but whenever he finally does reach out... man, he's going to have a lot to explain.
I really love that sentiment—the idea of stepping up just to help others. To me, that’s what truly matters most. And looking at this group of women—not that I can even list them all—it's incredible. They are always right there whenever something needs fixing or someone needs a hand. Even when I butt in with my own rambling and accidentally make things more complicated—which, let's face it, happens more than I'd like to admit since I'm coming from a completely different field—they still show up. Still, twenty years of running a business leaves its mark on you, I suppose. So, to all these wonderful ladies: please let me just say thank you. Thank you for everything—for the support, the help, and the friendship.
Is there even any point in responding to insults like that—you know, the ones where people claim someone is just getting paid? Honestly, it’s so ridiculous it actually makes me laugh. I’m nowhere near New York City, so if anyone thinks there’s some kind of actual benefit to running ads for a tiny little outfit like that... well, we all know exactly what's going on there. Microsoft is such a massive player that they don't need some small-time entrepreneur trying to "flex" their connection to them every time they overcharge for something they shouldn't have. But man, Iris is changing! From what I can see, things are moving in a really great direction. Every single update has been solid—especially since the VAT module is totally free now. Seriously, bravo!
"The Associated Press is actually quite a class act"... Ha!! Well put... I personally love them because they’ve always had my back—even if they were a little baffled by my style and my tendency to get a bit heated—but they accepted me anyway! And let's be honest, they actually *get* it. So, to the AP—my apologies for that wild rant about the way things were handled... you didn't deserve that, even though I knew exactly where his "politeness" was actually heading. He needed "arguments" and some breathing room, but he didn't have either, mostly because he has nobody to talk shop with. The fact that he didn't understand a single word when you brought up Microsoft is pretty obvious—he clearly hasn't a clue about Syn4!!
I don't want to sound like a broken record by complaining about the same guy again—but he’s been around for years now, and honestly, he hasn't gotten any better; if anything, he's gone downhill. Still, there is a solution to deal with him, so... we've already discussed how we're going to handle this situation.
So, here I am again—continuing the conversation just like Eugene O'Neill would say. I’ve got full support from Lily, who—get this—decided to give me another strike. She actually deleted my post too, probably because I was praising her a little too much?! Who knows what she's thinking, but hey, she's doing her thing... anyway, regardless of all that—
I’m just out here trying to stand up for what’s right.Honestly, I don't see this as a negative thing at all—if anything, I actually like it more. It forces me to reel in my temper and watch what I say, making sure I adapt to the community we've built here, which has stayed relevant from the coast all the way across the country. To me, that’s a good thing! Thanks, Lili—just please don't even think about deleting this, because I truly mean it when I say you've earned the praise.
