The Things We Learn in Just a Week

Catdog
The week is finally over, pure chaos!
Interviews, homework, my daily schedule- tossed!
Who knows how man interviews I had this week
Homework, essays, chapters to read, a million and one questions
Let's not forget the most important my car and it's love to overheat!
Should of done this or that,, my daily well learned life lessons

Didn't get the position I thought best fit
Scaring them with how I'd help them grow
Something they didn't seem to want dang it!
What can I say, I was born with sales in my veins
That wasn't the perception I meant to get across
Wishing to throw away sales ability, all it retains
I had experience in all aspects, oh well, their loss!

Jack of all trades, master of none is who I am
13 years accounting and administrative skills
No thank you and the door they shut, BAM!
Thanks for wasting my time and the thrills

You wanted me back in the bars, a job you wanted, a job I will get
No longer will I have to hear, "if you don't get a job" and the I'm leaving threat
I am taking my car that you use to work every day away from you, as of today
And the position you hold of which jobs I might take, you no longer have a say

At least I have people and bar experience behind me too
Wednesday night I start my job, the office work I'll still pursue
A position I didn't want to get back into, feel it's demeaning my quality
Get to play that sweet, don't have a clue, give me money 'cause I'm pretty

Now I get to tell you what happened to me today
What interviews I went on and all the events of my day
You wanted me back in the bars, easy, daily, and quite a bit of quick money
I got a job in a bar and with my shift, no longer will we see each other, honey
"Awesome" you first say, then "If I get sick of it, I will just leave."
Thinking a job would settle our problems, oh please! Quick reprieve

Everything I have done, I have done for the future of us
No matter what, I have come to learn, you'll always fuss

So to school and work I will continue to go
Missing me, one day it'll hit, you'll know
No one could ever treat you better, I was the best all along
Hopefully sooner than later, you realize this before I am gone.

    I can relate to every word so eloquently written. I go on interviews with my experience nicely printed on a piece of paper, and then they close the door right behind me. I feel that returning to retail again and again is like allowing myself to be swallowed up by a giant hole and losing touch with all that I wish to say and do.

    I hope he realizes how true you are to him and that once you're gone, you're gone.
