Don't Crack Plumber!
Wired to fix plumbing on sight, thirsty plumber,
you shouldn't lay that pipe.
Wouldn't be right to the manager who manages
his work. And, he'd end up being the jerk on her
chain if he fixed the jobs bewitching his brain.
So, he fights to abstain from working on water
problems that mob him and taunt, the very
nature of a plumber to want to lay that pipe.
Those jobs are ripe for the picking but he's
sticking with his current employment and not
the quick enjoyment that'll get him fired.
It's the expectation under which he was hired.
Loyalty to her company until retired, is a rule
many plumbers aspire to, as they drool by their
box of tools they can only use under management's
instruction.

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
