lyrics

"I'll call you in five minutes to let you know where we're meeting"
said my boss more than a half hour ago
We're waiting on another team we're supervising
because they don't want to understand how things should go

Deadlines coming up, hard stop dates are looming
for this package to go with the documented flow
Clear my calendar, blow *my* program's schedule
but I have no confidence that these folks will actually show.

"Other duties as assigned"
are the bane of my daily grind
my life, my schedule, are rarely ever mine
"Other duties as assigned”
responsibility most maligned
the most destructive force facing my deadlines

I've been holding on this line the bulk of Monday morning,
supposed to guide this process,the guy in the know

Efforts to be Circumspect, clandestine backroom dealings
without telling authorities (that's me) where to show

But they haven't made much progress since last week's review swing
my job to explain and re-explain the tasking goal

Once more the documents are shared, in the process of reviewing
Damn, but this is really getting old....

"Other duties as assigned"
are the bane of my daily grind
my life, my schedule, are rarely ever mine

"Other duties as assigned"
the responsibility most maligned
the most destructive force facing my deadlines

This is going to wreck my week
my own work kicked right to the curb
My primary progress bleak
I am growing quite perturbed!

"Other duties as assigned"
are the bane of my daily grind
my life, my schedule, are rarely ever mine

"Other duties as assigned"
the responsibility most maligned
the most destructive force facing my deadlines

This is my favorite album so far. I don't think I've ever felt as seen as when listening to "Mermaids and Queers." "Slytherins and Misunderstood" finally convinced my mom to embrace her Slytherin identity! loquita08
