Company Notice

In the hallway, was the memo. All avoided it! Some walked around, the back way, past cubicles, the copy room, to avoid it. Being Friday, no one, I mean no one, wanted to read it. I took a chance. What do I have to lose? I told myself. I can deal with it. Slowly, I approached the board. Eyes focused on the yellow paper, with a tack right smack in the middle. I looked as sweat popped off my forehead. Then relief, NO OVERTIME! Gingerly, I skipped to my desk. Stated loudly, ""Chickens"", grabbed my key, and quietly said, ""Thank You God"" ran to my car, burnt rubber on my way home.
