There was this woman who once sat on the edge of her park bench knowing that someday she would go away and not come back, (indo) but that no matter where in her travels she found herself, she would always remember the moment when she realized how she felt and how she would never forget that moment for as long as she lived.

I felt sort of like that today when I casually walked to my desk this morning and find my boss slinking away from it like the serpant that she is. I watch her mouth begin to move and the words "good morning" barely make it off her lips before she glances at the fucking clock. So what I am twenty minutes late, my coat and scarf are neatly piled in my arms, clearly I have already been here and have not walked straight away from the cold air.

Doesn't matter. I bring up in conversation to my other newly acquired boss my appointment this morning w/ a loan officer at the bank on site. Certainly this will make it back to the ears of the serpant, as she habitually maintains a registry of all employees that she feel do not bow down to her wrath. Obviously I am one of them. This is fucking corporate culture. And people are surprised about how the damn ecomony got the way it is?
I am about ready to start bringing in liquor to keep at my desk, I can see why people do this. The trap is enormous and suddenly you realize that your surrounded.
