To My Boss and My Peer

Lately, whether I have expressed it or not,
I’ve felt very much responsible for the process called my job.

But as a caveat…
instead of feeling like a Sheriff…
with authority...
I’ve felt like a Mall Cop…
on a bike…
with a whistle...
and a slingshot as a defense weapon...

It’s difficult position to be responsible for so many things
that are not what you want,
how you envision,
and the only thing you can get everyone to do
is gather in a canoe…
in the desert….
Without a paddle...
Or water...

I know I have been less than positive.
I’ve been overwhelmed
but you two have been awesome
and supportive
and I KNOW it will get better.

I hope I haven’t let you guys down too much.
I want you to know I’m going to try
very, very, very hard
to help make this canoe float….
I’ll pull it with my bike….
In the desert….
sounding my whistle...
without any water...
And use my sling shot as a weapon….
Since I don’t have a paddle...
To hit them in the head with!

Necessity is, after all, the mother of all inventions. :)
