Dear Diary,

I apologize for my previous entry... I may have been drunk when I wrote that.

Yesterday was a very emotional rollercoaster ride for me. Our department was being audited and I may have expressed some hateful words towards Ben.

I mean every word of it but it was very unprofessional of me. But in my defense, he was trying and is still trying to cut the Parks Department budget and that may mean losing people that I love dearly!

Ron however has advised me to talk to him again and try to fix the situation. And because I look up to Ron as my mentor friend even though we often disagree about a lot of things, I will try...

I hope Ben realizes that he will not win any battle going up against me. I will fight tooth and nail to make sure no one gets fired!

And frankly, he can take his stupid pad-folio and his stupid face out of Pawnee... We don't need people like him playing with the lives of my friends.
