It's a Great Job, But---

I can't get that job; I don't have Excel They'll never hire me; I don't type very well I've got three years experience; they're asking for four They're only offering 50k; I need two thousand more It's a great job, but it's too far away I'd like to take it, but I won't ride the subway It looks like a perfect fit, except for the benefits I'd apply right now, but the last person quit They'll reject me for sure; I once got a C in Math I'm not quite their style; I read Sylvia Plath The job is just fine, but I'll have to get up too early I loved the position, but the CEO's known to be surly The issue, my friend, isn't that you're not good The problem here is strictly your mood I know you have a PhD., but I'll risk being rude -- It's your B.A. that's killling you, your Bad Attitude
