Mum, don’t go mad! I suppose… no, I will tell you all. I did not forge your and Dad’s signatures. But since I am being truthful, I must admit that it did cross my mind. Several times actually.
When the possibility of a new contract was presented to me in the spring, I was all for it. I was told that I could work thru December under my current contract, and I was asked if you all would be ok with an extension. I told them yes, that you and Dad would be in complete agreement. I really didn’t think on it much until the start of the summer holiday. It was at that point that I was presented with a new contract for us to sign; a verbal agreement would not be enough. I signed my part and told them that I would get you all to sign it later. I didn’t want to ask you, but at the time it was really important to me that I continue working.
Within the last few weeks, I was asked several times to get in your signed portion as soon as possible. Just before the start of term I was given a deadline of the beginning of October. If I failed to do so I could not work after the end of the year. Honestly Mum, I have had that contract in my bag all summer. I have taken it out several times with the intent of signing it myself and handing it back in. But each time I tried I couldn’t go through with it, and it would make me sick. It’s just something that I cannot bring myself to do. That’s one of the reasons why I talked with Professor Sinistra. I really needed to know when it would be acceptable to give something up.
I could never do something like that. That’s why I sent them the letter of resignation, and because when I really thought about it, that type of attention just didn’t make me happy. I'm really sorry Mum.
