...not the top three, ta la....




... a culprit is indispensible

my former lover has just been promoted to ( ) ...
I'm not going to fill in the blank...
you might figure out
who she is

if only I could learn to be

    I was recently recruited for a senior position at another institution ... intriguing process, on a number of fronts. And, it seems, my destiny to be an irritant to senior administration remains intact and on course ;)

    Their is no greater feeling than being in a position of power. Enjoy the moment... it can be fleeting.

    I never had a manager or foreman that didn't need the training or correction only one who knew the job could provide.

    Love the title of this. Being deferential is for wimps. Stick it to the man!

    thanks, all, for the resounding support!
    Jimmy, power is fleeting indeed,,,,, I am realizing mine is in my sheer tenacity;
    WM-- it is the on the ground stuff that makes all the difference in how things usually shake out, isn't it ?
    Dave-- thanks-- I enjoyed the writing
    Gerry-- I stole the title from a line in Samuel Beckett's Un/namable.... now there's a role model for sticking it to the man!
    Pisces-- I love this metaphor.... I will be stealing that, too.

    Cool, lets the reader connect with it by leaving the blank space so he can feel it with his own story. A subliminal interactive poem. It is at the same time a strong message anyway you put it.
