A Cheerios breakfast,
A coffee on the run,
A swipe of cheek powder
And I'm ready for fun.
I zip down to the bus.
Do I have enough change?
Crap, my hair is a muss,
And the bus is in range.
I arrive at the mall
At eight - freakin' am.
Workers are in the hall.
"Wazzup there, Barb! Yo, Sam!"
I head to the Park
To face great iron doors.
All the rides are still dark
And no snacks on the floors.
Nobody is around,
But cameras still see.
Big brother, without sound,
Down in security.
I head to the office.
Not one bigwig in sight.
Will today bring success,
Guest complaints or a fight?
Its peaceful and silent
Right now, for the moment.
I know that this time spent
In quiet, is God sent.
Well, there goes the darn phone.
Let the great games begin!
I am no longer alone.
It's showtime once again!

Nice rant. It brings out the hostility of the day. Nothing like chaos to get the blood flowing. If it wasn't for the money, though, it wouldn't be worth the aggravation. I'm still training at my job and sometimes the customers drive me nuts, bonkers, insane. I try to shrug it off and laugh at them. Even if you did write this for fun, it's good to remember to laugh when you are feeling the pressure and stress. God bless you and take care...until we write again.
A flowing ballad to learn
and grow from...Lots of
humane, subtle meaning!

Hi Amy,
I just couldn't resist taking a peek at another of your works after signing you guestbook.
This was so cleaver and I really needed a chuckle tonight!
Take care till next time we meet.

Funny. I work in a similar prison. Hey, watch "Office Space" It's a HILARIOUS movie about jobs/work. : )
Hhehee. amy, since Jason has re-formatted the site to allow non-alphabets to appear , why not add some brackets, commas, or a face :( to enliven things up? Smilesz....
