Friday the Thirteenth
Yep. Another one came. I am a tad too superstitious to miss work so despite my "not quite being well" I was reticent to lay out yet another day. It seems that I'm one of those persons who has to have somewhere to go.Anyway, you have to take your job seriously even when you're ill. Toward that end I arose and bathed and everything. Donned a set of duds and tied on a matching tie. Laced up a pair of matching shoes.
When people asked me why I didn't go ahead and remain in bed another day I simply layed it on the line and told them that I wanted them to know how much I appreciate the ability to eat and live indoors.
And so there go I as it has been since reaching the age of accountability. Sometimes you have to put down the kiddie mess for the real world even if it's not the most comfortable thing going at the moment.
It's those long term committments with reliability and steadfast attention to duty and the needs of the enterprise that get the attention of those who matter in the workplace.
