It May Be Time

Yeah, it may be time.

I know someone very close to me who:

• Hates going to work every day
But somehow finds the strength to go there at least five days a week and spends 18 hours a day there.

• Has co-workers that don't respect her
Well, one really. Unfortunately, it's the one person she can't afford to have disrespecting her.

• Wishes she were somewhere else
Like Michigan. Meanwhile, everyone in Michigan wishes they were somewhere else.

• Cries constantly
Hmmm, well, no not really. But she cries enough to make me worry about her, OK?

• Daydreams of punching small animals
Can't attest to this. But it could be true. We've had a couple fish meet an untimely demise. And my back hurts in the morning sometimes. Hmmm ...

• Sits next to a hairy guy in a speedo that picks his toes.
Actually, she sits next to ME at work. Can't say that I've ever worn a speedo to work (or that I even own one), but I HAVE worn ripped jeans to the office, and have clipped my fingernails at my desk.

Yeah, it may be time. I know there's something better for her out there. I just hope she can find it soon.
