Life...
"I am the Woman behind the Counter"
A Poem By Patty ~ 1999
Yes...
I see you standing there
and i'll be right with you.
(i have a problem)
Yes, I know.
You want me to care about your pathetic little life.
Well...now you have another problem
because i don't.
You see, I have been here all day without a break, and my cat ran away and my rent is due tomorrow but payday is not untill friday so I have to figure out how not to get kicked out of my apartment.
I don't care that there are no fucking peas on the shelf
Don't look at me like you're better then I am or i'll throw this stapler at your head.
Don't tell me to smile because i really don't need to hear that.
And your cute little jokes.....i've heard them all before.
Yes, that's right. I've been here all day just waiting for you mister, uh, mister fucknut was it?
And yes, the register saw you and deliberately charged you incorrectly.
I heard it laugh.
Oh, I'm sorry you don't like our selection of musak.
If I hear the song from Titanic one more fucking time I'm going to go postal.
And I'm sorry the meat you had in your freezer diddn't look good when you took it out.
Maybe it's because it's been a fucking year.
Here's a helpfull tip: Just because it's going to snow, that doesn't mean you will never again be able to leave your house because the snow will melt and by the way, the food you bought for snow on monday is OK to eat for the snow on friday, in case you didn't know.
Don't forget to shop on by aisle 7...left hand side. We have regular and cinnamon flavors.
It's called Life. Might wanna try it.
Thnaks to my great great friend Patty for capturing the total essence of our workplace.....GOD BLESS SR of STIRLING!!!
