First of all, I must say your photography is haunting. I had a hard time reading the post because the images lingered in my mind and I saw myself going back to each one once and again. Long posts are already hard to read, this additional "distraction" only made it harder :)
Now that I am not teaching any more (had to quit, but the whole univeristy system was ruined/destroyed, so there's nowhere else in that area here) I can relate to the core issue here.
I am not a writer in the author sense of the word; I work more on translations and in addition to the complications of this work, you find people who keep treating it as if it were lawn-mowing.
if it’s so simple then you shouldn’t have any trouble doing the work you’re trying to pay me for.
I will start using your line. I just wish one did not have to be rude to make people undertsand what to us is so commonsensical.
Wish you the best
Henry,
Thank you for your vote and response.
You're right. We shouldn't have to be rude to be properly heard and understood. Luckily though, I have a penchant, and a reputation, for being blunt. So, usually, people take my words in a way which allows them some level of comfort.
I'm being rude, but It's only because I have no filter. Not because I mean anything by it. :)
Also, I'm stoked you enjoyed to photography. It's a long time hobby of mine. I really enjoy it when others enjoy it more. So, thanks for that.
My pleasure. Thank you for the great writing and introspection.
