John Lawless Poet I do not know?

To Whom It May Concern

In an attempt to document my worth to your esteemed organization, I hereby submit my unredacted resume.

I was educated using blocks, books, chalk, blackboards and the slide rule.  “Testing” was used to “evaluate” progress and assist in future choices.

I graduated Magna cum softly from a “free” education facility with a double major in life and its unlimited learning experiences.  I am presently enrolled in its post graduate “Masters” program.

I am currently up to date on all of the recent “vaccinations”, upgrades and mask wearing theory.

I do, however, suffer from a long-standing problem with a “work ethic” issue and find it difficult not to show up and produce as I believe it is important to my remaining gainfully employed.
When asked by another employee a question such as: “I wonder what he/she thinks?” I usually reply: “I’m more concerned about why you're so concerned about what he/she thinks.”

I would bring to your “work” place an open mind (not to be confused with an empty head).

If you are interested in offering me employment please contact me by snail mail as my computer mysteriously disappeared last night.

Fin Chuuk March 20, 2023 at 7:34 PM How I truly enjoyed this one. Definitely true about the jobs these days, and the humor in it just got me laughing. Wonderfully penned, John. :)

Speaks Volumes March 20, 2023 at 5:41 PM I am afraid Mr. Lawless, you cannot be offered the position, because you would not fit in with the rest of the workforce, and any dedication to the tasks at hand may prove quite off putting to your co-workers, should you be given the position. This company along with many others, offers its customers the run-around in order to supply as little service as possible, therefore keeping them in the dark where they create least trouble and just keep paying for our diminishing services. Good luck finding a job you are suited for. (unsigned as its company policy Not to give our names.)

Frederic Parker March 20, 2023 at 11:28 AM John, you have captured something very profound in our society today as seen and discussed by many of my age, and from the sound of it yours also...glad to have found this piece of writing
