Bah Humbug

Been off work since twelve nineteen Should be happy Some say But I don't look at it that way I know in the back of my mind The work on my desk is piling up You would think A co-worker would help me out But every year They don't have the holiday spirit And never go near it So instead of enjoying my time off I calendar watch Dreading that first day to back After the holidays Bah!

Good one, Timothy. Strikes a chord. I remember dreading that too. I remember once going in on a Sunday to avoid the stress of that dreaded return day. Yes I was a total workaholic and can attest to the fact that the more you do the more they want. Glad to say those days are long behind me.

Crossing my fingers that day will come soon for you, Timothy.

Ha, ha! You're a kind man --no Scrooge-- but circumstances sure can make a person cranky. Here's to a surprisingly unstressed return to the grind, Tim! Best wishes, Gershon

That seems to be the way of the world. For many people there is no such thing as a day off. Have a good night my friend.
