Rejection

 

I’m on a deadline this week, so am pulling things out of the mailbag instead of actually writing anything myself. 

Gene left this comment for me, over the weekend, on an older post, but I loved it so much I’m giving it star treatment today.  

Dear Ms. Burman Almostgotit,

I regret to inform you that we will not be able to post your latest blog entry regarding rejections on either our website or our Facebook page. While we recognize you did not actually ask that your entry be posted on any of our internet real estate, we thought this “Bush doctrine-inspired-pre-emptive” letter of rejection would be a good idea should you possibly have entertained any notions of making such a request.

Personally, Ms. Burman  ALMOSTGOTIT, your non-request was given serious consideration, and indeed you were one of two finalists in our deliberations. We chose not to post the entry from the other leading candidate whom we favored over you because we did not receive her request before we didn’t receive your request.

We hope you can understand the complexity of our situation, and we wish you the best of luck with your blogging career.

Most sincerely,

Gene Murrow
