Complaints are like Paint

I hate hearing others complaints about a job, just leave me be to do it and don't cry, bitch, whine and moan to me...

Complaints are like Paint…


 


They fade with time,


Are only in the mind,


Are nothing if not slime,


Hard also to make rhyme,


So allow me also to just climb,


Out of this hole I have produced with so much grime…


 


I am tired of hearing, complaints about my job,


All I want to do is work it and be left alone,


By other employees, that much do they drone,


Guess I am pretty much altogether prone,


Not to bitch, whine and moan,


As long as I have work to do, I do not need to atone…


 


Just put me on the road, keep me away from others,


And I will be happy, no worries, no problems, that would be my druthers,


The only thing I can think to do with all these pain in the butt others,


Would be to get them all together and murder them, by the act of smothers…

Complaints and complaining do nothing, but make our days dreary. Glad I don't have to listen to it anymore. Good write. I love the print and color, it adds something to the message.

Love and peace, Patty

Ahhhhh... I hear you loud and clear, Ed. I run like the wind when a workmate starts in on a tirade or a whine... I'm with you.. show me the work, I'll do it, and then, at 4 o'clock, just show me the door! I'm gone! hehe... great rant and very timely, I'd say. Your commentary's know no bounds, thank goodness! (grin) katy xox.

Totally agree here Ed...I can walk into the door of my workplace with a smile on my face and within the span of 20 minutes, I have heard so much moaning and groaning, it make my remaining 11 hours and 40 minutes there, seem like an eternity.
