Take This Job and Shove It -4

I thought it would get better.

It didn’t.

I thought that once I became more experienced it would get easier.

It didn’t.

I thought I’d give it a year and then quit.

But then I got the flu.

I was feeling pretty horrible. My boss knew I was sick. But the Blackberry kept buzzing and blinking and the phone continued ringing. I had fever and sweats. Blackberry beside me. I became more and more ill with each vibration.

Blink. Blink. Blink.

I turned the phone over and turned on ‘silent’. Every couple of hours I would turn it back over.

Blink. Blink. Blink.

Yipes!

Blink. Blink. Blink.

No!

I looked at the mail. It was growing.

Oh no!

Turn it back over.

I was sick. I couldn’t keep up.
