In a deeply, bizarrely, painful episode,
I hired two virtual assistants
To help with a task I didn’t want to do.
A brief sample from the first
Showed that I had not clarified well,
And that, realistically, this was not a job
For a non-native English speaker.
For weeks I prayed, and cried,
And tried to figure out the right thing to do.
But when I finally just said honestly,
“I don’t think you can help me.
I’m not trying to cheat you.
If you want full payment, that’s fine.
Or partial payment, as you’ve worked some.”
We settled on partial payment, and I am free.
At least from one.
May the other prove as easy
To extricate myself from.
