Shit, Writing Ain't So Tough

My boss wrote my review
Said I wasn't aggressive enough
Said Juan wrote the outbound message
   because I didn't do it fast enough
Could have been mine
Should have been mine
Well I thought he was doing it so I did something else
There's no lack of work to do
But it was started by my customer
   confirmed by my lab work
      and involved -- guess what -- Juan's product
My project
His product
So I let him do it
I'm told I'm too passive
Need to grab the ball and run all out every got damn day
Just to keep a job
   that keeps my family alive
      and keeps me from writing
Some day I'll say Fuck that
Some day
Some other day

Dedicated to anyone too drunk to not be an artist

If you must, wait 'til the boys move out. Then do it. Say Fuck that. Sure, it's scary, but so? This is the only life you have. You'll land on your feet.

Arleen, I concur in spades.

Beauty about this life? You can reinvent yourself at any time.

How's the head this morning, baby? ;) Coca Cola from the fountain with help.

well, *I* didn't go out drinking with you, but I concur with the general concensus. One day, you'll say that FThat, and move on.

But I also fall into the category of being too drunk to not be an artist.

touche.
