What’s a Guy Gotta Do…
To get a damned ham sandwich and a beer around here?
You believe everything I tell you, don’t you? Good. Go get me a sandwich; I’m working here.
Kids. Kids and women. They never get it, but then they don’t have to. They got it easy. Even now when women are pissing and moaning about not being able to “have it all”. Who’s ever had it all?
What’s this? Peanut butter and jelly? What, am I one of you kids here? Where’s the ham and cheese I asked your mother to get from the deli? Well, tell her to go and get some more. I don’t want this shit; I want some food. Milly! Milly? What’s with the peanut butter and jelly?
She tries. I know she does. And isn’t she lucky that she lives in a world where trying counts? Not in my world it doesn’t; not by a long shot. If this presentation isn’t right on the money, if that new client walks out on Monday without signing a contract, no one is going to be giving me credit for trying. Man, who pulled these numbers? These just won’t fly like this. Here, let me see what was happening over in Legal six months ago around this.
No! Get out of here. I told you I’m working, dammit. Milly! Would you please keep these kids OUT of here? Milly? Oh great, so she goes off to the store and leaves you all here. Well, get out of here. I don’t care who switched the channels on the TV. Go…
