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

Richard Lamoureux Date: 8/5/2019 8:19:00 AM 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. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 8/5/2019 9:32:00 AM 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
