Complaint Dept Pt II

KJ used to find the notebooks of the most troubled minds. Sometimes it was page after page of indecipherable writing, another time it was a daily list of the things a family ate, recorded by its matriarch. There was very little use of the pronoun 'I' in that one.

It feels intrusive reading the laboured attempts of people trying to communicate something, most times something that they're not even aware of. I see it so often. Acts of communciations, people struggling to convey what they're feeling and ending up being misunderstood and mocked.

I saw it yesterday, I've seen it the other half dozen times he's been kicked out of the library.

I wish when I see him at work I could say something more than 'Hey _____________ how is it going?' but I don't know what's acceptable.

Conflict of interest is a coward's excuse. I can't help you right now because I'm at work and that may interfere with the library machinery.
