I Can’t Wait to Get to Work

Drew Nacht

I can’t wait to get to work
so I can put to use all of that after-hours stress anticipating the next work day

I can’t wait to get to work
so I can sit in a chair under fluorescent lights for eight hours

I can’t wait to get to work
so I can sublimate my true desires and spend another day on God’s earth
doing something I genuinely have no interest in doing

I can’t wait to get to work
to see people I don’t really care for more than I see my kids

I can’t wait to get to work
so at lunchtime I can check the internet and lost myself in the exploits
of real achievers who have earned the public spotlight

I can’t wait to get to work
to play the mental rationalization game with adult phrases like
    1.    Life is a trade-off
    2.    You do what you have to do
    3.    No one said it would be easy
    4.    Everyone is in the same boat
    5.    You have to appreciate what you have

I can’t wait to get to work
so I am one day closer to earning enough money to retire
