Hey have you ever felt trapped and thinking about running your boss over with your car? Well have you?

The clouds cover my sun, even on my darkest day

I still believe there is a purpose and a reason for my existence.

Today everything is up-side down and all jumbled up.

My head is full of craziness.  This work-place where

I am expected to function day to day, has

taken over my personality in a very unpleasant way.

I am starting to feel trapped. Recently I have become

a ticking time-bomb, a nuclear reactor, with each second

I feel myself becoming more and more toxic.

Nothing I do is good enough and for what it’s worth

the gas I burn,  the hours I put in and all the

verbal abuse I experience, I should actually be

drawing two paychecks at the end of the week.

Everyday I think to myself, “I wish he’d shut-up

and fire me, then I could stay home and collect

unemployment, then at least I’d be a happy

housewife and not an underpaid doormat”.

But after I am gone everything that walks

through that door will walk out the very

next day.  I am positive that, I am the

only person on the planet that would put

up with this sort of madness.

Until then I am just waiting for those

6 luck numbers.

    Many of us are unappreciated and taken for granted in the workplace, and many also hope for those 6 lucky numbers to hit so we can tell them how we truly feel, and hopefully some day we will. Good post, keep your head up, and keep them coming.

    This is so lovely to me. The administrator at the facility where I work has tried every which way he can think of to run me off as he has with most of the other tenured staff members. but everytime I see him I just smile, not bend or shake or rattle back. I\’ve got seventeen years to his two, a perfect record and the respect of the corporate heads. He\’s still trying to get some balls. So stay strong and hang in there, remember weeds will eventually choke themselves out.
