She noticed I kept checking my phone.
"Expecting something important?" she asked.
Could she tell how nervous I was?
"Really, it’s nothing, honey," I lied.
Every ten days, I’ve allowed a single email to determine my self-worth.
This, I knew, was a silly way to think and damaging to my psyche.

Perhaps I should block their email address?
Or delete their emails once they arrive and not bother to read them?
Life is too short to let someone who isn’t even a 'someone' hold judgment over me.
I don’t need them to tell me I’m a winner; I know I’m a winner.
Crap; it's five after midnight and I know their email may have arrived, unread in my inbox.
Even though I hate the power they have over me, I admit I can’t resist as I check my phone.

People think that a Worth Admin
Is someone who wants you to win.
X that thought right out,
Erase your small doubt;
Losing will make this woman grin.
Despite her light facade of good,
Ugly ideas fester and brood.
Some folks, they get banned,
Their work, it gets panned;
Maybe she just likes being rude.
(The truth is I’m lying, and there’s no denying, that she has the best attitude!)

Beyond a shadow of a doubt, I'm merely writing this for my own amusement; I don't even know
offhand any Worthians, other than myself. Stop reading right there if you'd really like to;
never mind that I've gone through the trouble of writing all this up. Seriously, just stop;
nobody will think any less of you. I'm sure you're a decent person most of the time. I'm saying
you can just keep scrolling on down, rather than read the next sentence, so do it already.

So you're sticking it out eh? Alright, fine by me, but don't say I didn't warn you. Since you
are actually going to continue, I suppose I can tell you what I'm doing here. I had to take the
initiative, since I didn't know anybody here, but I wanted to write an acrostic. So I saw that
nifty little "Hall of Fame" button, and clicked it. I picked out the longest name I could see
there on the big list of worthy Worthians, and got to work.

Alas, I may be disqualified if I don't make this "One mean spirited acrostic". So lets see what
naughty things I can say, about this person of whom I know naught. I hear this supposed saint
doesn't bathe; cuts people in lines, then pretends to have not; talks with his mouth full;
rakes his leaves into his neighbors yard; pisses all over the toilet seat in public restrooms;
eats a handful of mints as he exits a restaurant; and all manner of other discourteous acts,
without the slightest bit of remorse. So there you have it, I hope you enjoyed yourself.

Always get the most hearts per thread;
Replies with humor so dry, it’s dead.
Says the best stuff - or so they all think;
I think they’re brown-nosers, loving the stink.
Does he believe the adoration displayed?
Understand this Pinky, you’ve been played.
Banhammer Bunny, head of the panel,
Usually dreaming of Zooey Deschanel.

Man, you really aren't good at this
Are you ever going to finish top thirty?
Really, it's not that hard
Kendrick and I agree, your beard looks really dirty!
4th for you would be a dream come true
And it's never gonna happen
Rat fink is a stupid word
The work you submit is so pathetic, I make better when I'm crappin'

Someone needs to tell you the truth,
How did you let go of yourself this fast?
All you need to do is eat one less cookie.
Never have I seen this before!
There I said it, all of it.
Every mirror is lying to me.

Stupid cat never keeps its mouth shut,
How in heck it does that no one knows.
At last I have an idea,
No one will stop me now.
Tip it on the roaster and
Eat it for breakfast.
