You'D Better Talk the Talk

Every job has special words You don't know them, you're a nerd To get ahead you walk the walk You'd also better talk the talk Gathered 'round the water cooler Manager so hip, I couldn't fool her This job's a bit more than what I'd bargained for ~ An octogenarian boss conducting jargon wars

So true, Gershon. I love your humor. The last line sounds like a new reality series! ~Mark

Ha, ha: That's funny, esp. since wouldn't recognize a reality series if it hit me in the face, although I am aware of a certain series where the protagonist/antagonist would say, "You're fired!" LOL. (Haven't had a TV since 1977). At any rate, thanks for the compliment, Mark! Season's best, Gershon

"the job's a bit more than what I'd bargained for" - I am laughing, knowing this is not true.

But, but, but, but, but, Caren! Would I ever mislead you?! ---Don't answer right away... Smiles, Gershon
