THE PENIS WANTS A RAISE

I, the Penis, hereby request a raise in salary for the following reasons:

01. I do physical labor
02. I work at great depths

03. I plunge head first into everything I do

04. I do not get weekends off or public holidays

05. I work in a damp environment

06. I don't get paid overtime

07. I work in a dark workplace that has poor Ventilation

08. I work in high temperatures

09. My work exposes me to contagious diseases

******** REPLY ********

Dear Penis,

After assessing your request, and considering the arguments you have raised, the administration rejects your request for the following reasons:


01. You do not work 8 hours straight

02. You fall asleep on the job after brief work periods

03. You do not always follow the order s of the management team

04. You do not stay in your allocated position, and often visit other restricted areas

05. You do not take initiative - you need to be pressured and stimulated in order to start working

06. You leave the workplace rather messy at the end of your shift

07. You don't always observe necessary safety regulations, such as wearing the correct protective clothing

08. You'll retire well before reaching 65

09. You're unable to work double shifts

10. You sometimes leave your allocated position before you have completed the day's work.

And, if that were not all, you have been seen constantly entering and leaving the workplace carrying 2 suspicious looking bags.

Sincerely,

The Management

the bubble has burst...

"You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Recession is coming to town"






~not exactly the kind of news one would want to usher the new year 2009 with; that's the cold hard truth of the current global economic climate



Outlook for the whole of next year is not looking too good either; meaning the worst is most probably yet to come. It's ironic how i'm actually looking forward potentially drastic changes that it'll bring about; be it good or bad. Perhaps i've gotten too jaded & fed up with all the shitloads of crap i have to put up with in my job. Is my job security at stake? i just couldn't care less. Period. An insensitive, spur of the moment remark? Maybe. Its easy coming from someone has very marginal financial commitment & who's got nobody else's mouth to feed except his own; i know nuts about the pinch of having your back against the wall & having to shoulder the burden of keeping food on the table for the whole family in harsh times like these... Perhaps, i needed to a real commitment to make me 'grow up' & hammer some rational sense into me. Perhaps i really need a push like this to get me on the go.
Now, enough with my mindless rantings... I wish all the best for all of us in weathering through the economic turmoil, hope we all surive it in one piece.
