The Grump, aka Me

Wow, I am a total grump today. I try and put on a nice face when I talk to people but they can probably tell it isn't all that genuine. I feel a little crazy today. I mean, I don't want to harm anyone but I don't seem to like anyone or anything. Even my coffee is not my friend and that is just weird! In fact, I'd like to take that coffee cup and throw it at the wall. But that wouldn't be "work appropriate" now would it?

All these damn social rules we have to follow...man, I just want to freak out on all of them. I'd like to tell my co-worker where to shove her stethoscope, play bumper cars in traffic just to get people to move, scream just cause I can, wear jeans to work, hell, not even come into work. I adore the man in the movie Office Space...just start doing what I want to do, when I want to do it. Will that get me a better job and more money? Worked for him...but for some reason I don't think it'll work for me.

I want to punch my friend Dan, just cause I can. I want to sit in my apartment all day smoking cigarettes in my pajamas with endless cups of coffee and some shitty TV marathon on. But can I smoke in my apartment, no, cause the landlord says not to. Can I take a whole day just to lay there? No, cause I either have to be at work or my guilt will be telling me all the 1000 things I "should" be doing... and according to this fucked up society, spending an entire day watching TV would only make me a lazy fat slob.

Oh heaven help me break free of some of these "societal rules" so I can finally breathe!
