My Assignment

I had 3 chapters.
I worked very hard on them.
I stayed up late in the library,
Trying to make a concise guide that all can understand.
Not speedily enough I suppose—
For I was scolded by a…”friend”
In front of my study group.
I would never think to do that to her!
How rude,
How unprofessional!
It’s not like they didn’t get the chapter in plenty of time.
It’s not like I was sitting on my hands doing nothing.
Did she think that I wanted to stay up late every night?
Miss working out?
Spend hours in the library?
Miss dinner?
I made sacrifices and I worked hard to make quality work.
Because a job isn’t worth doing if it’s not done well.
Then she insults my intelligence by saying, “Well, if I would have known that you couldn’t have handled the assignment, I wouldn’t have given you as much?”
But I did handle the assignment.
I’m sorry it wasn’t at your approved pace.
Yes, I am happy with the work that I did.
I am confident that people will find it useful.
I do however question if I want to work with them again->no her again.
I don’t have to put up with this.
I won’t.
