My New Job

as sung by Joe Jackson.......

Cancer

Everything
Everything gives you cancer
Everything
Everything gives you cancer
There's no cure, there's no answer
Everything gives you cancer

Don't touch that dial
Don't try to smile
Just take this pill
It's in your file

Don't work hard
Don't play hard
Don't plan for the graveyard
Remember -

Everything
Everything gives you cancer
Everything
Everything gives you cancer
There's no cure, there's no answer
Everything gives you cancer

Don't work by night
Don't play by day
You'll feel all right
But you will pay

No caffeine
No protein
No booze or
Nicotine
Remember -

All new, boring, and awkward

Week four here at the new job.
Everyone is real nice.
They are going real easy on me.
And they really don't have to.
I've been through the ringer several times and can take it.
Not that I don't appreciate it.
***
Old Town is pretty nice. Rockville or even Tyson's Corner would be closer, but this is pretty cool. I just don't want to live out here.
It's been taking me about a half hour to get to work and another 45 to get home.
I went to Bethesda Library on Saturday and procured a couple of books on CD. Got to keep learning....
***
In short, my time is limited. I want to make the most impact here as I can. I may ruffle feathers, and we shall see. Screw it. I will speak up when I think I am right.
