stagnation (a bit of a rant)

stagnation
not progressing
not moving forward
stuck like chuck
my life
the weather
no fronts to move things
forward
to improve
the atmosphere
surrounding me

stagnation
not goin' anywhere
stuck at a job
i'm not too crazy about
low pay
much responsibility
but no benefits
just more headaches
at least i have a job
but i wanna improve

stagnation
i shouldn't gripe
i've been at my job
five years
longest i've worked anywhere
AT LEAST I HAVE A JOB
many others don't
i should be grateful
i'm just tired of
the struggles

stagnation

if the job is doing you in
all the rationalization about
"at least i've got a job" isn't
going to prevent a coronary ...
you don't

still, a good write

If your work isn't your passion, find some other way of expressing your passion.
Although, Leo Buscaglia said to make work your passion. Hummmmmmm. Well I will work on that one for you. [smiles] Nice rant.

karla, i know just how you feel. i feel the same way you do at times. but all we can do is pray that we get a breakthrough in our situation, and we can also pray for a breakthrough in this weather pattern we've been having. too many people have suffered at the hands of mother nature, and they need our prayers and thoughts. may we get an end to this danged weather pattern SOON! :( (((HUGS))) good write! love, your twin, karen lynn. :)

This book has been eight years in the making. It is mostly a jumble of thoughts written down in old spiral notebooks and hidden in the bottom drawer underneath various manuals for software packages and hardware long since turned obsolete.
