Back in a time when I worked for the Stained Arrangers I did what was expected and at first they seemed pleased. I was their Shiny Doer.

I, at the time was of the opinion that there were 7 types people, those that could and those that couldn’t, those that do and those that don’t; those who would and those who won’t and those that don’t give a fuck. 

I definitely saw myself in the light of those that do, could, and would, with strong leanings towards not giving a fuck… 

In time I have learned empathy towards the Stained Arrangers, which is felt from the safe distance of a long time ago in a land far away.
