Settling Scores

These days when my eyes are not blinking, all they see are black, white and red. My calcium deficient nails carry a guilty red smudge every once in while. It doesn't go. The whitener works only on paper.

I'm settling scores. First I rip them apart and then add it all up.
Yes, paper correction is not an easy, fun task. Its arduously, painstakingly, long, monotonous and exhausting.
(Its one of the things I think I will permanently dislike about my job)

Now I know why it was so difficult to get decent marks all through school. It was a conspiracy all along to "settle the scores".

I am off to the UNHRC :)
