Do You Feel Lucky?

When the Work-Day Is Done, Another Monday Come and Gone...

Did you work hard today? Did you give it your all? Did you get the job done? Did you get ahead of it, stay even with it, keep on top of it or at least, catch up with it a bit? Did you kick ass, with or without the taking of names?

What about putting out fires. Did you do any of that? Sometimes, that's what it takes to get the job done. You have to put out a few fires. Can't work while you're burning - it's kind of an OSHA violation, for one thing. To say nothing about the discomfort, and probable deleterious effects on morale. Air quality, etc.

Teamwork is important, but I've got nothing to say about that here. Because here you are, the lone soloist - still sawing away at that cello after the rest of the orchestra's packed up and gone home. Purely for the love of it.

Well I for one am standing up. I for one, applaud.

Set it down, now. Stand up and stretch. Take a bow, and the rest of the night off. You've earned it.
