Hi everyone!
It’s crunch time for me at work right now, so unfortunately two things have happened:
- I’ve been quieter than I would prefer
- I haven’t been reading all your posts with any sort of consistency
Now, #1 isn’t so bad – it’s a big, wide internet with TONS of great things to read. But I feel kinda bad about #2 – I follow so. many. amazing bloggers, and you all deserve to be read and discussed by as many people as possible. I haven’t been able to make my usual contribution to your traffic and for that I apologize.
Moving on – depending on how long we have known each other, you may remember my deadline song from last year. Here it is again (below) for anyone out there that is buried under too much work and needs a little tune to hum; crowdsourcing request for improvements is still open. If we’re newly acquainted, enjoy!
Deadlines never bothered me anyway
(to the tune of Let it Go)
The lights are on in the office tonight
Not another soul around
With stacks of my workpapers
On my desk and on the ground
My kids are howling ’cause I can’t see them tonight
Couldn’t keep my promise; heaven knows I tried
Don’t stop to think – just get it done
You’ll only make it worse for everyone
Can’t take much more; I don’t know why
I even try
Fuck it all; fuck it all
Don’t give a shit anymore
Fuck it all; fuck it all
Grab my keys – I’m out the door
I don’t care what my boss will say
I don’t give a fuck
Deadlines never bothered me anyway
It’s funny how my world now
Comes suddenly alight
As I leave my work behind me
And run into the night
It’s time to see what happens next
When I send my boss a nasty text
Fix this, fix that – no not for me
I’m free!
Fuck it all; fuck it all
What a sweet refrain to sing
Fuck it all; fuck it all
Strike a match to everything
What delight on this beautiful night
As I drive away.
My boss comes in now like a hurricane of flame
With clenched jaw, bulging eyes as he spits out my name
And one thought crystallizes like the frosty air
I’m getting fired now – and I can’t seem to care!
Fuck it all! Fuck it all!
You are all a bunch of tools
Fuck it all; fuck it all
Flip the table; screw you fools
I won’t take this bullshit one more day
I don’t give a fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!
Never liked that company anyway.
Note:
I actually do like where I work, and I actually would care if I got fired. Still, I really hope my boss doesn’t find this. I would never hear the end of it.
