Why ask me for my flippin advice if you don't want it????? I mean, come on. My old friend popped up. She works in DC and was upset because they asked her to cover an issue she did not want to cover. She asked me if I thought that made her look bad. I said it could. Cause well, it could. Life is challenging, there are things that suck, but you gotta do it. Even if it means covering abortion. Yes, the dreaded A word.
So then she pastes in the IM convo with her some guy where she is telling him she doesn't want it. Now, you lose a lot of context in IM, but he sounded perturbed. So I told her, you know, I think you better do it.
