Sunday Stealing: What would you say in this moment?

 I am down in one of the most beautiful places in the world, the Great Ocean Road. 

I'm sitting in a room with about thirty other women being fed writing prompts. Instead of doing these, I'm getting my Sunday Stealing questions out of the way for the weekend. It is a weekly task that I like to do early. 

Mostly. I'm looking for some good downtime on this retreat - as work is about to go insane thanks to a software implementation, it's good to rest now. 

Questions, as always, come from Sunday Stealing. 

What Would You Say At This Moment to:

1) Someone you have hurt?

I'm sorry. It was unintentional. I hope you can forgive me. 

2) Someone who has hurt you?

I don't think you should be in my life any more. I've let you hurt me over the years. No more. 

3) Your favorite teacher from grade school?

Thank you for seeing something in me. 

4) Your most hated teacher from high school?

How could you make physics so shit. Physics might be shit, but the way you taught it was bloody awful, and I can understand nearly everything. 

5) Your best friend from college?

Hey, we're overdue for a catch up! (We had this conversation last weekend - we'll get there soon). 

6) Your favorite recording artist?

Can I just sit and chill with you. Please. You seem like you'd be fun to hang around with. Let's go get a coffee and chew the fat. (I think hanging around New York with David Byrne would be incredible.)

7) Your favorite author?

I'm not worthy!

I have done this before. I met Richard Flanagan at a writer's festival, and I went all fan girl. It was very embarrassing. He is an incredible writer. 

8) Your first boss?

Seriously, you have no idea how to manage people. I wish you'd get some management training. I wish you'd develop some empathy. You are horrible to work with. I'm glad you have piles. 

(Please remember I got my first real job in a warehouse at the bottom of a department store in the late eighties - it was like something out of Are You Being Served?" He was the epitome of Captain Peacock.)

9) Your first love?

Thank you for mostly being gentle with me. I don't need to say anything more, or get back in contact. That will do. 

10) Your true love?

Ah, where the hell have you been all my life?
