my road to work

the sun has come out!!

So whats the first thing you do when you get up on the beginning of the week? Do you shout oh joy, oh callay, as the sun appears, with the gentle push from up above to lift your head and make you smile as the cutains are withdrawn to allow the rays to caress your face. The temptation of work, the lure of the desk pulls you like a magnet, taking you into her bosom and holding you there until the week is over and you must let go to face the unknown world outside your office, daunting and cold.

Or....maybe not.. On this system at work we have an online booking service. They tell us up to a year in advance what clients we are at, where and when. It is terrifying. Right now, I await in fear. My two blocks, representing one week, are empty. An empty white colour. Awaiting to be filled by some sickly shade of green , where the name of the client comes up. Amit, welcome, for the next two weeks you will be assigned to the isle of shit, at Cold and Dark Ltd. Exactly what iv been waiting for. So then I call up the relevant person, I ask the horrible question “where and when”..i feel cheap. My services are so easily renedered useless as the last minute I can be taken off, or at the last minute someone can tell me they want me and I just don’t have a say. The cheapest of the cheap. I go there, fake smile, fake handshake, ..wearing the same unironed trousers as I have before. I don’t need to say who I am..i have a staff number, and business car which stupidly has got my wrong extension number (my fault!).. I want to escape, my feet are itching to go and say “help the needy, save the world, eat your own puke”..anything but be a slave, a whore to the business world.

Sell my soul?
If I knew I had one I would appreciated it much more.

Anyway it is a lovely day, and a good morning to you all!!!
