You Snooze You lose- Or maybe you win

You Snooze -You Lose or maybe You Win. There he goes again. The big boss man out to a “business lunch”. Yeah, right buddy! you have one every day so you can expense your steak lunches and booze up, all on the company dollar. You are a pro at what you do, I will give you that. Client schmoozing is right up your alley, with that charismatic look of yours and that slick tongue. But you would be nothing without me. ME! The one that sits here and does the early mornings and the late nights. All the extra reports and research I do which is assigned to you. All with a dim glimmer of hope that you will give me the pay rise or the bonus I rightfully deserve. But that will not happen. You need me to stay here as your lackey. Argh... just Promote me you big jerk!! You are the face and I am the brains, the grunt work, the real deal. I just don’t look like you and cannot talk like you. So, I’m left back here being the whole reason we are successful without any accolades or reward. You go off in your Porsche and I go home on the train. You go home to a mansion complete with a wife and children who love you. I go home to my studio apartment that sits above a Mexican restaurant that has tequila drunk spewers at the doorstep inevitably every Friday night... yeah thanks $5 Fajitas Friday’s!
