The plagiarized "How to Quit Your Job like Sherwood Anderson"

Dear, Ma'am:

Greetings! 

You have a child woman in your employ that I have thought for a long time should be fired. I refer to Vanessa Rosales. She is a person with a good deal of ability, but for a long time I have been convinced that her heart is not in her work. 

There is no question but that this woman Rosales has in some ways been an ornament to our organization. Her hair, for one thing, being long and messy gives an artistic carelessness to her personal appearance that somewhat impresses old colleagues such as Vernalie Loyola, Ariane Lingat and Elai Bensal, even Dingdong Dantes stares for a few seconds when they passed upon each other at the stairs. 

But this Rosales is not really productive. As I have said, her heart is not in her work. I think she should be fired and if you will not do the job, I should like permission to fire her myself. I therefore suggest that Rosales be asked to sever her connections with the company on the fourth week of June 2014. She is a nice person. We will let her down easy but let us can her.



Respectfully submitted,
Vanessa Rosales
(unsigned)


Disclaimer: Knowing perhaps that the letter content was pulled out from somebody's great work, my producer refused to accept it and demand for a standard one, but she kept it just the same haha the Dingdong Dantes incident really did happened, naging kami po for a few seconds. Pangako. Lol. Ang sarap, beh, I mean ang sarap balik balikan sa utak ng mga pangyayari. Nakakamiss ang buhay showbizness (wow), yung side ng showbiz kung saan frustrate na frustrate ka na sa kakahanap ng case study na may malalang karamdaman pero dapat mukhang class A pagharap sa tv, maghanap ng location na within QC lang, ng recipes, ng resource person na magaling mag-upsot, ng chef na hindi mataba, yung hindi ma-oily, at kung anu-ano pang klase ng kababuyan, wala na tayong magagawa, wala na tayong magagawa, napapaligiran na tayong lahat ng, teka, naging kanta na ng radio active sago project ang daloy ng kwento. Pero yun lang naman, nakakamiss. Sana ma-"the time came to free himself from the shackles of the corporate world and plunge wholeheartedly into his craft" zoned na ko one of these days, gaya ni Sherwood Anderson. Mahaba-haba pa, may time pa, kaya pang mangarap hanggang sa ma-beat ko yung pagfo-float at pagta-travel nya, taking all the shit of the world around with him hanggang makarating sa landing ng kanyang pangarap at 41 years old. Hanep di ba?

  2. I can totally relate to the last part. It would really be nice to actually leave everything behind and completely lose ourselves in making our craft or finding something meaningful and to actually live without inhibitions and restrictions. Someday, I guess. :)
