From Dr. Crazy at Reassigned Time:
“The Things I’m Not”
- I am not a secretary who has staplers, tape, paper clips, pens, and/or paper to hand out to people who don’t have these things for themselves.
- I am not your mother.
- I am not your best friend.
- I am not your sister.
- I am not the information center of this floor, here to give every person who doesn’t know where to find something directions.
- I am not the keeper of my colleagues, knowing when they have office hours.
- I am not the keeper of my colleagues, knowing when or whether they will return to their offices.
- I am not the keeper of my colleagues, knowing why they’ve cancelled class recently.
- I am not obligated to deal with anger related to your problem in a class that has nothing to do with me.
- I am not obligated to be polite and sweet to you when you direct anger or disrespectful demands at me, even if I’m young (relatively speaking) and female.
