Barriers
Challenging the stairways of hypocrisy.
"Martin to the office please!"
My boss summoned me via the phone-to-phone paging system. Danielle, the secretary waved me in. Her smile indicated good news.
My ego quickly shriveled, until I was this tiny man in a colossal chair who ingested the piles of dung coming out of his mouth.
"It's okay, Martin. You'll get that promotion one day. You're excused."
Perturbed, my tongue became unlatched. Words locked away in my arsenal were finally liberated.
After the cleansing tirade was over, my boss paged the entire office. "Everyone Congratulate your new project manager, Martin. Today, he grew a pair."
