lazy
back when i worked in an office.
it was
just that i really
didn't know what the hell
i was doing half
the time.
sure i knew
where the coffee machine
was,
the water cooler,
the lunchroom,
and the way to happy hour
on a late Friday
afternoon,
but office work
was something i wasn't
cut out for.
i had minimal education in
the art of
computer science.
all those numbers
and letters on the keyboard.
the meetings
and schematics on
the white boards,
the puzzling languages
of Cobol and Fortran were something
i barely learned in school.
i was the guy
they called when there was
a heavy
box on the top shelf of the storage
room, or if
the boss needed someone
to help him move into his
new house.
i lifted the new jug of water
onto
the water cooler, gave
jump starts to dead batteries
out in the parking lot.
i was that guy.
