The shit is going to hit the fan
Jody,
I know that your arrangement with me is different regarding your
working hours, and that I am looking for results of work. However, you
have not sent me the requested information or updated me on the progress
of your work. I also have not received any questions or requests for
information. Maybe this project is too difficult to do long distance.
You have a paycheck for the 2 week period that you worked here end of
Spring Semester. You can pick that up at Corona Hall or contact them
with questions.
I will leave you on the summer break payroll, but you will not receive
credit for hours worked over the last 2 weeks. Please forward me your
progress on the time management web app to this point. Also let me know
what your plans are and a time frame of your work for completion.
Otherwise, maybe it would be in both of our best interests to
discontinue this project.
Please let me know you thoughts and plans by Friday, May 28, 1004.
Sincerely,
Kimberly K. Young
Coordinator, The Learning Center.

Hello Kimberly,
While I feel quite intimidated by your formal letter, I feel no choice but to reply in the most utmost of formality. Your letter comes to me as not only as surprising, but with a pandora's box of emotion which has broken free from the perverbial floodgates with the force of a thousand Swedish warriors. I understand that you are "looking for results," and as you know, I showed you the progress of the website (which is online) before I left the university; you seemed to be satisfied with the progress thus far. After that session, I returned to you for additional information in which you replied, and I am paraphrasing, "I am waiting on (insert name here) to e-mail me some things for you" to which I replied (with, might I add, a gleaming, friendly smile), and I am paraphrasing, "Oh, okay." Therefore, if there is any information in which you would like to give me, other than the javascripts I showed you and the power point presentation that I saved to disk in your office, please feel free to e-mail them to me and I would be happy and even proud to incorporate them to the website. I find it a troubling pursuit of business ethics to not pay an employee for two weeks in retaliation for the employee's lack of ability to read a mind or communicate through telekinesis, but so be it, I am a man of strong will and good heart. I will be strong, I will be a Swedish warrior.
Patiently awaiting your response,
Jody Bennett
