it's rare
that i do this,
because i'm so busy,
but i need to have a talk with
my boss,
who is me.
which is odd, i realize,
but
every now and then we need to
find out
how we're doing. are we bored,
are we tired,
do we still have the get up and
go to go
do this everyday.
how's my attitude, am i slouching,
am i
rude
to my clients, or just short
and annoyed with them when
they ask for a third
coat on a wall that only needed
two?
i really don't have time for this,
i tell myself, but okay.
five minutes. what about wallpaper,
have you had it up
to here with all these crazy
papers and customers
who don't understand how
it's like brain surgery to hang
wall paper in a three by four
powder room with nine foot
ceilings.
it's a good meeting though.
i get a lot off my chest.
and ask for a raise.
which is refused. what about
a christmas bonus, i ask myself,
or a few days off around the holdiays?
maybe.
i say. maybe.
but don't forget we have the
henderson house to do
the day after new years.
oh right.
almost forgot about that.
they still haven't sent me the
paint colors.
finally, i get up and say okay.
is that it?
to which i reply, yes. thank you.
we'll do this again next year
and see where we are.
