lousy head

A nitpicking chief isn’t nice
Takes away work’s sugar and spice
Labor can chug
Without a boss bug
Since we’re not the ones who have lice

This was such a sweet thing you said. I try so hard. But it is not easy to come up with new things after 23 years!

A pleasure to read anything you write actually. You have a style I enjoy. So, the thank-you is also from me to you. I am trying to see things in a funny light and just enjoy this forum immensely. I have always felt you are one of the foundational poets here.

I have shared this with some of my coworkers. This will likely be the last month of work for me as it is no fun at all to deal with this. It strikes me as odd that our senior management allows this to happen. A year ago, I had no intention to stop work as I was enjoying it and felt I was doing something valuable.
