An Explanation.

To the Non-Existant,

Today we are supposed to write to someone we would like to give a second chance to. This task seems simple enough, but there is not one person I can come up with. The problem lies in that I generally give people 2nd, 3rd, 4th and even 5th chances before said individual even realizes I think they need a redo at all. I prefer to give folks the benefit of the doubt most all of the time and that usually means putting up with nonsense for much longer than necessary before deciding there is a cut off. I like to think people can see when they screw up and take ownership without my pointing it out. I don't normally vocalize my distaste until it has occurred again and again and again. Then it is too late.
Maybe this isn't fair. Maybe I should just tell people what I really think about their actions or non actions every time there is a discrepancy. That sounds like a lot of work, and something that really isn't my job. It seems to me, if there are enough discrepancies that warrant my cutting you off, there isn't much I could have ever said to make you change anything.
In conclusion, there is no one I want to give a second chance to. If I know you, you will have one, and two and three and four without my saying it.
