Somebody Has A Case of the Mondays

So I roll into work today totally bummed out because it's baseball opening day and I had to miss all the games. I guess my boss picked up on the fact that my mind was elsewhere when he saw me checking my fantasy team and he got all cheesed off and said I needed to focus on my work. And I was like, "I am focused" and he was like, "Obviously you aren't Timmy." And then I was all "I'm sorry it won't happen again."

It felt terrible, having to stop looking at my squad just to appease my boss. In a perfect world I wouldn't need to relent to dumb idiots like my boss and I could watch my team whenever I wanted. I wish I could have stood up to him and said what was really on my mind. As soon as our conversation ended I felt upset and empty inside. I needed to get my mind off of what had just gone down so I put on my ipod and wondered what I should have said instead of backing down.

And that's when my ipod turned on and it hit me. An old classic began to play and I realized that I should have done exactly what this song was saying. The song is "Boss" by Rick Ross and it's message is to let people who stand in your way know that you are better than them and that you won't ever back down. I should have told my scrooge of a boss,

"I'm the biggest boss that ya seen thus far, Cause it just another day in the life of a goddamn boss...I'm a make it rain then I'm a make it back, You are just a lame lil homie that's a fact.

I think he would have respected me more if I would have respected myself, stood up to him, and echoed Rick Ross' message. Consider this a lesson learned.

Signed,

Timmy BOSS
