Accidentally watched – well, it was playing
in the background –
a talk show on The Oprah Channel
and there’s this well-tended lady talking about how
women!
you must charge forward
and make sacrifices
and tell people of your worth.
If you really want to succeed.
That last part got my attention.
First thought was, yeah,
how’d that work out for that
Joan of Arc girl?
But right away I am thinking
what the fuck kind of advice is that?
cause well damn, every time
I asked for a raise,
I got the ax.
Like ISIS was running the
HR Dept.
The rest of the show, everybody agreed with
everybody… guest, three ladies
and a gay guy,
I think.
Agreed women are too busy being
successful and mothers,
too many quit, we lose them,
they lose them,
but you can find yourself.
Something like that.
I turned on the vacuum cleaner.
I don’t have a job,
I don’t have kids.
I pay somebody to mow our yard.
And I still don’t have enough time to do
all the shit I want to do.
