I Need To Have More Fun

My resume's not done I need to have more fun No, no no -- no more work 50 years've made me berserk Do this, do that, jump through hoops To please the boss one has to stoop No matter what his mood that day Yours'd better be 'A-OK' Recent years saw system changes Get used to one -- poof -- it rearranges And the 'paperless office' we yet await It's arrival already forty years late No, spare me more work, if you please I prefer to contract a fatal disease For my resume is not quite done I really and truly must have more fun

Your comment has made me very happy, RT. Usually I hit my finger instead of the nail. LOL. Best wishes, gw

"Recent years saw system changes Get used to one -- poof -- it rearranges" Hilarious because of the truth of it.

Sure wish my identity wasn't so wrapped up in my work. Happens to so many men, myself included. :) gw

I can relate! They said we would eventually have a 30 hour work week. I eventually whittled mine down to 50! This would have been fun had it not been so true. ;0) have a great day my friend.

I think that I whittled my work week down to about 50 hours near the end as well. Thanks for the 'fun' comment, Richard! Best wishes, Gershon
