"imagine you were hired to do what you knew would be your life's greatest endeavor. you devoted many years to it. now, imagine that your patron comes to you and says you've made a hash of things without explaining what, specifically, is wrong. they just show you the door. that's what happened to me three days ago. supposedly, they wanted me to, and i quote, 'rise above myself.' which i was supposedly 'incapable of' since i was 'too rational.' i'll concede that they rise above themselves all the time. it happens when your head's up your ass. now they're demanding i leave, and i don't want to. this is my town, i'm one of its creators."
