Modern Love I

will be late sry AAAAAAANDprobably wouldn’t admit to it these days into nites, elsewise admitting to a lot more like how I am job and the accumulation of deadlines and backbreakin nuttin tasks annoying the crumbs out of the way my shirt is just so tucked in, bathroom breaks even to get it right and have my shirt be the way my shirt oughtta. Probably wouldn’t, probably shouldn’t, probably leave it to the backs and corners of my mind that I actually up and love this job, and love these little winnars! and hoops thrujumped cross the cubicle skyhorizon. They’re at least “they’re mine,” at least. So I and we and I thru We Press On.

Project. Tasks into Project. (The whispering last lasts of a doomed branch of a forgotten department, staff eyed for moving left and right and take your box and shuffle out quietly, it’s been good. Good period dropping off a shard-addled cliff. But before, while pants pockets hrmmmm and hover over magnetic tracks and ergonautical seatpeople frugal fugue instrumentals, eyes and shoepoints toward the door, on the floor, before that last smolder’d shuffle bout out the door, one last Project. Tasks into Project.) Deadlines for minutia, noted looming shadows and specters of the Process that’s gotta get itself all donelike before all shoes, Is, tied, dotted. But first, and in middlepoint’a'all that, this here meeting:: fourth quarter : third string

- OK, we’re concerned about consistency.
- I’ll put this one on me, but it’s just that time was an issue.
- ?
- Rush job, you know. Looked for typos, nothing dropping off, that stuff.
- You need to tell us when you don’t have enough time.
- Sure, and that’s fine and all, but that results in what? No, not gonna do it? Screw you?
- Well no, just be careful.
- Yes. Noted. From now on, I will be careful.
- What are we doing with the m dashes here? And not there?
- I mean, I guess if I’ve got to write out a styleguide, I’ll be writing out a styleguide. Was wondering about serial commas anyway, seeing how client’s never fond of doing them all or not at all, you know.
- Think about headlines and periods, too.
- Sure, all that.

All that, encompassed and put to memory and damn sure put to paper, so we can find out how to better bob and weave and wade through the process, (so we can better figure and discover and target with laser scope just what poor bastard gets blamed), and sit, and sit, and ponder to paper and ceilingtile and shoe what just must be done to get beyond being noticed and bothered and just twerped to high heaven about the little things that probably won’t don’t even matter ever never. Moving on. Over it. Never to be noticed again, with all praise’s sake’s hope.

All that, while a quick shiftyeye toward the clock, praise and pray to five til five for a jump to the pisser and out the door, while tick and tick and tick in time for sake of death inna stone wall, hidden from sight, self-hidden from mind, never be happenin to me sho.
