WHY
Why? That is just a question I ask.
Why did you hire that guy?
And they look at me like I am crazy.
Why don't you ever check these idiots out?
And they just walk off like I am nuts.
Why do we have to work over time?
And I am told that is just the way it is.
The real reason is that someone just can't do their job.
Why can't he do what he was hired to do?
And they laugh at me like I am from Mars.
Why don't you pay the good people more money?
And they really think that is funny as shit.
Well I will tell YOU why.......
just because......
that is the only answer you need.....
what a freakin' shit cop out......
A thought provoking piece! Conceptually meaningful in all of its rhetorical reality and openeness! Thank you so much, Renee'! UGONNA
Hi Renee Mind boggling thoughts as well there... nice read. Roz
This is a thought that I can relate too very well. This is something that lays in the mind of so many and haunts people at night. I have spent many years in college and now that I am done I surely thought that I would be working in my field of choice. I am sad to say that I am not working yet in my field, but I work in retail for little money. Besides the manager I am the only one with such high education and I get the fewer hours and I feel trapped inside this world I hate. I ask myself "Why" everyday that pass. When such a powerful word comes to mind we know that there is a problem and we need to do something about it. My solution to my problem is if I do not land a job by the spring in my field, I will go back to college. This is my only way out of retail and I love school so it will not be that bad. As I read through the remaining parts of your thought I read, "Why don't you ever check these idiots out? And they just walk off like I am nuts. Why do we have to work over time?" And also, "Why can't he do what he was hired to do? And they laugh at me like I am from Mars. Why don't you pay the good people more money? And they really think that is funny as shit." Well, they feel this way through ignorance and fear. You see this as a problem with open eyes, they on the other hand have closed eyes or they fear for their jobs and decided not to say anything. Because you wish to be heard you are treated like an out cast within the society that you work. You seem to know your job well if you can pick up on what someone does wrong. Just focus on what you have to do and the ones that do not deserve the job or the money will be figured out and let go. Life is harsh, but we live once so make the best of it. You are still young, so if you are not happy with what has been happening at work then it is time for you to think of a change. You like writing, so why not think about a job in this. Any way, I know my comments are long, but I liked this thought very much and it caused my brain to work "over time". I am happy that I read this and it shows that you have some sort of talent with getting your thoughts out. Feel good that you have a job and that you can live on by what you earn. Think of the less fortunate people living in society that die of an early age or are hungry, this will make any job feel better then it really is. You are one of the lucky ones, so focus on this.

as you may have noticed I am a new member I enjoyed Why it gives one answer to the question I will be posting. I look forward over the next few weeks reading more of your works (1 or 2 a night)
hello...been there! (love the "freakin shit cop out") blunt is nice after workin in such a superficial environment all day. just the taste of reality i expect from your writing. thanks! ...tell it to us sister!!!
why? i have asked these questions before working in a computer lab it was very frustrating...some people were making twice as much as me and doing practically no work. they didn't know what they were doing but nobody seemed to care. i ask WHY? well, i got frustrated with that job, and i left. two months after i left they called me and offered me another higher paying position, but i don't know. i don't want to work sitting all day in front of a computer...i'm going to go into medicine now ;) malc.
