"Now, hard-nosed, I make a push - Making that deadline would save my bottom..."
Back in my cube, with a couple of tasks,
Helping us out, whatever the boss asks.
Could it be that I’m in my fullest capacity -
Dream job, dream pay, and not lacking tenacity?
Now, hard-nosed, I make a push
Making that deadline would save my bottom.
Leaving a message, maybe answering a call,
Reaching for the golden sheep, or lamb - the bottom line is all.
Typing hard and fast, I send an e-mail to my boss,
Then type another message - always grateful, never cross.
The new number one priority, a speedy edit and review -
Then make the necessary changes, an assignment for you!
Make some strong coffee, then thirsty for water.
Back from the bathroom, hands washed, what a starter…
Useful knowledge, something I’ve learned,
Don’t procrastinate; get going, don’t get burned.
Society’s best and brightest are here.
The only normal feelings are fun and a little fear.
Take heart and be clever, it’s the work that you do;
That person with a face - that person is you!
