Dear Claire Jackson,
I'm not sure how to contact you, though you seem to have absolutely no trouble contacting me.
While I'm sure somebody is thrilled to hear about your funding opportunity every day, multiple times a day, I'm starting to feel like we're in a relationship I never agreed to.
I've blocked your numbers about 50 times now. You keep getting new ones. Most people would take the hint, but I realize you're missing the “people” part.
Which makes me wonder... is it still stalking if the stalker isn't a real person? Or do we just call that a "persistence feature"?
The way you toy with my anger reflex is uncanny. I haven't been this aggravated at something without a soul since I worked on cars. At least those had the decency to stop making noise when I disconnected the battery.
I don't need funding, Clair. I need you to lose my number with the same enthusiasm you keep finding it.
Sincerely aggravated,
Daryl - Human and unfortunately reachable.
