The Impostor Scholar

memorandum no.1

To: Management
From: [REDACTED], CPA
Subject: Low Morale

Morale has reached an all time low; I fear for the health of the [accounting] department. The reserve I keep for motivation, in an attempt to prevent my to-do list from swallowing me whole, is reduced to mere droplets. This memorandum, hereinafter referred to as "memo", will document my woes and present actionable items to lift my spirits and ensure the promptest of [accounting] reporting.

  1. There are simply too many things for me to do. Perhaps it would be prudent to resist asking me to do anything else.
  2. I feel a sense of disinterest from Management in my mental health and well-being. Current evidence: the number of tasks I am expected to complete in a short amount of time.
  3. Dark chocolate does wonders for a person's mood. Motion to add this, heaps of it, to the next office grocery order.

I expect prompt compliance with the above; the present working conditions are unbearable.

With withering futility,

[REDACTED], CPA
