Haha, I saw that! on your 10 pieces of advice thing? I read that article laughing my butt off and then I read the comment. I immediately pictured a cynical, snide coworker of mine. Some people just refuse to enjoy this job and be lighthearted about it.

And you didn’t post the comment? Now I have to go looking for it?!? I love getting negative comments. Most of the time their nonsensical and worth a good laugh. And if they are well thought out, like you said, it helps me grow.

Sure! Any language would be great! Just send me a quick e-mail so I can send you the list. Feel free to add anything that seems worth it; you never know what someone may need in a pinch.

Thanks, Lauren!

It didn’t sting at all, actually. I started laughing so hard I couldn’t believe it. I think if there would’ve been something vaugely constructive like, “Your grammar sucks.” or “Your writing style leaves much to like.” I would’ve been more concerned, but picking out one or two phrases and chewing them apart, then saying it’s the worst article ever is like reading the first sentence of a book and declaring the book the worst ever.

Thanks though, Stef!

People will say anything to get a rise out of you. I still remember my first, it actually made me cry. I never heard from that person again.

Congratulations on getting your first negative review, the future ones won’t sting or make your head spin as much if that makes you feel any better.

I don’t know if you still need this, but I can help with Uzbek and Russian! I would also recommend having a set for hearing impaired folks, and something to work with those who cannot speak. Knowing some basic sign language can be a HUGE bonus!

Firetender,
You are so right; there are days where I feel I might explode if I don’t write something or don’t run a call. I don’t do either with the expectation of kudos or admiration. Some days it’s a good day when no one says anything. Thanks for the comment!

Being a medic and being a writer are pretty much the same gig; you do it because you have to, not want to, there is no real tangible remuneration, you delude yourself to think you have control, and many appreciate but nobody tips!

Sorry I didn’t make the dinner, glad that everyone had a wonderful time.

Fantastic news for Hawkeye! Kick him in the butt for me.

And remember: Just a spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down…

Glad to hear you had a great day!
I’m sure the food turned out great, based on your cooking in Baltimore.
