i'll post a poem that I wrote this lunch break, how about that?

---

I hate my job, it hates me back.
I cannot wait to get the sack.

My job was meant for some poor jerk,
Just smart enough to do the work,
But lacking brains, imagination,
Enough to realise that his station
Is less fun than masturbation.

I hate you, job, and you hate me,
Or else you'd pay me properly,
And treat me like a human being.
You think that I'm not always seeing
Other people, doing less,
Without the constant lies and stress,
Whose lives are not a bloody mess,
Whose heads don't need a cold compress,
Who sleep without wine's sweet caress,
To whom the thought of work is, yes,
A happy one and not duress?
Do I sound bitter? No BS.

You would not treat me like a bitch.
You would my bank account enrich.
You would not make me do the job,
Of every useless lazy slob,
Who doesn't feel they have to do,
The tasks their contract tells them to.
You'd treat me sweet, and nice, and kind,
If, job, you loved me, you will find.
Instead my spirit down you grind,
And poison my subconscious mind.

Morale, your profits, intertwined.
You'll realise this once I've resigned.

My friend, let me remind you of what I just told you about my own issues:

"The worst that can happen is she'll stop talking to me and small children will mock me in the street. Not anything that hasn't happened before."

Remember that if and when this happens it'll be because you let me talk myself into doing something both out of character and unbelievably stupid. Not that doing something unbelievably stupid would necessarily be out of character, but you know what I mean.

And also remember a terrible cliche that I once told you was true: life gets better as you get older. That's not actually true. It stays exactly the same, you just get more used to it.

Sleep well
