We have all been traumatized in one way or another by gym class. For me it was the Presidential Fitness Test, in which girls had to hang on the pull-up bar for as long as they could because, just, why? What did that prove? And if you were curvy and thick like me, that was a lot of weight to hold up, while everyone watched. Ugh.

Rejection means something went wrong. Since the writer never gets anything but a form rejection, or just as often silence, one can't know what the reason is.

Yes, the rejection by silence or the form rejection might be the worst types of rejection and really don't tell you much.

I think we need to rebrand it with a different word, something harmless sounding. “I got pillowed today.” Or “they sent me a nancy no-no.” 🫠

This is a fantastic idea! I am here for the 'nancy no-no.' At least it would make me laugh. Thanks for stopping by, Joy!
