LYRICS: | |
I was working at this job. It was a pretty good job | |
and I was pretty good working that pretty good job. | |
The work there did not seem like work to me. | |
It seemed more like getting paid to do a hobby, like woodworking or | |
gardening. | |
The people who I worked with there, we got along just fine. | |
I'm not a social person to begin with and typically kept my head in | |
my work. | |
Sometimes we were able to work together, like on a project or | |
something | |
And we got along just fine, working together and sharing ideas. | |
Time went on, people came and went. | |
Positions changed, offices moved. | |
There were many things happening and I kept on working as hard as I | |
do. | |
My life continued to move along-side the work that was being done. | |
Things were just dandy at work. | |
Work day to day, week to week | |
month to month, year to year. | |
Show up, do the work, go home, lather, rinse, repeat. | |
Oh, the challenges were there but were never too difficult or | |
overbearing. | |
This past September, my employer at this pretty good job had put a | |
meeting on my calendar. | |
I thought nothing of it and went to the meeting. | |
At the meeting I was told that my position had been eliminated. | |
I'm like what? | |
What? How could that be? How could my pretty good job be gone? | |
I've been at this job for 17 years! And now it is gone! | |
I was taken aback flabbergasted! | |
As gasted as any flabber could be taken aback. | |
I continued to listen to what was being said, | |
but couldn't really hear the words. | |
For some strange reason, | |
the only thought in my mind was...freedom. | |
