## I
|
||||
|
||||
'''
|
||||
It was with no small amount of irony
|
||||
that Malina lay down all of her finery
|
||||
|
||||
and went to work in a coffee shop.
|
||||
The Book and the Bean was a short hop,
|
||||
|
||||
after all, from her home, close enough
|
||||
that, after the walk, she was hardly fluffed
|
||||
|
||||
at all. Just a badger, a bit portly, a bit tall,
|
||||
who gave up on a job in personal finance, one fall,
|
||||
|
||||
to, as she'd told Cyril, "head for greener pastures."
|
||||
Internally, she couldn't shake the stress of last year's
|
||||
|
||||
troubles with the boss. Stupid git.
|
||||
She'd promised Cyril that she'd be a good fit
|
||||
|
||||
and make things work out financially.
|
||||
"Our house is paid off, we're substantially
|
||||
|
||||
self sufficient. Far more so than most!"
|
||||
she'd said over that evening's roast.
|
||||
|
||||
"And I'm perfectly willing
|
||||
to admit I'll never make a killing
|
||||
|
||||
working in a coffee shop. And if it doesn't
|
||||
work out, I'm just as willing to admit it wasn't
|
||||
|
||||
a good idea, and head back to the books."
|
||||
Cyril had given her the weariest of looks
|
||||
|
||||
and shaken his head, and that act, or non-act,
|
||||
which showed his opinion of the fact
|
||||
|
||||
that moving from a comfortable CPA position
|
||||
to a barista down the road, that that transition
|
||||
|
||||
was, perhaps, one big bad idea.
|
||||
"It could work, but Malina,
|
||||
|
||||
please keep an eye on reality."
|
||||

||||

## II
|
||||
|
||||
!{The problems with boss}
|
||||
|
||||
'''
|
||||
When one's coworker up and goes missing,
|
||||
taking her life and leaving without even kissing
|
||||
|
||||
her husband goodbye,
|
||||
it takes every good lie
|
||||
|
||||
you've told in the office and either makes you ask
|
||||
why you told it, or shatters the carefully constructed mask
|
||||
|
||||
it implies. Your boss, for instance,
|
||||
might come after you with some persistence,
|
||||
|
||||
aiming for a kiss here, a touch there,
|
||||
Even as he wonders aloud, "Where
|
||||
|
||||
has she gone? And why?" It makes no sense.
|
||||
You rebuff every approach and set up a little fence
|
||||
|
||||
around your desk, one made of papers and inboxes,
|
||||
and work with your back to a wall to keep that fox's
|
||||
|
||||
advances at bay. It could be that you're just, you know,
|
||||
imagining things. That your boss is just stooping this low
|
||||
|
||||
not because he's upset, but because you are.
|
||||
Even then, it doesn't really matter just how far
|
||||
|
||||
he goes. Sigh. He's still an asshole.
|
||||
One day, you reject and rebuff a pass while
|
||||
|
||||
explaining what a shitty thing that is to do,
|
||||
and finally tell the truth about how little you care who
|
||||
|
||||
he thinks he is. He backs off, anger cool and plain,
|
||||
but he does back off.
|
||||
'''
|
||||
|
||||
(or maybe that's just you imagining things now that she's gone, etc)
|
||||
|
||||
(makes you question your validity as an employee)
