Yeessss?

Don't worry, I'm not being an ass.

I feel that my point of view in recent discussion has been misunderstood. I want to make it perfectly clear; I will support any decisions made by staff and by you and Cecil. I enforce rules and I actually think Dhaliwhal was right in what he said about parties in Ribbonfin.

Seeing as other discussions have been heated, I just wanted to let you guys know that in a calm manner, and to offer my help if needed.

I wasn't worried.

I will admit I have not had a chance to read every comment in that discussion. I believe the idea that I like best is for the Senior prefects of each house to collaborate and come up with their own on-camp party rules. I personally choose not to strictly enforce school rules at the Grotto because that is a student's choice to attend. How other prefects choose to handle that is up to them. We all seem content in our leniency in that regard.

I think the stuff about the Grotto being a student's choice to attend is key. I feel sorry for the quieter kids who might not want huge parties at their camps, to be honest.

Sure. What's on your mind, Dom?

I sort of got into it with Ramirez earlier. While I regret causing any offence, I do stand by my opinion that he's acting a little above his station and not listening to opinions other than his own. However, I wanted to make it perfectly clear, as I don't think he got it it: I'm doing my job, I just find it difficult. I feel the need to vent sometimes, but I know now that certain people prefer that not to happen in their journals.

It's just... I'm trying, OK?

I saw that. ~~Not until after the fact, unfortunately.~~

Rafael means well and this position is important to him, but he can be abrasive and he shouldn't have talked do you or to Katya like that. It's perfectly understandable that you'd find this job frustrating and difficult sometimes; if you ever need to vent, feel free to come to me directly. I'll listen and, if I can help, I will.

You're doing a good job, Dominic. Don't let Rafael or anyone else tell you otherwise.

Your grandma is better than my grandma. Color me jealous.

My grandma is better than most human beings full stop.

any plans to share these pastries or are you just bragging

I think he's rubbing it in.

If you're in dire need of sweets, I can bake something. I doubt I'm as good as Dominic's grandma, though.

We never say no to sweets
