About my new workplace

Hold it till you have something to say.

With me, writing has been an assertion of the self in an emphatic way. And because it was emphasis that we seek, but emphasis not being my strength, I never wrote much. In a way being on the desk provides me the ability to get a variety of stories, read all of them if possible, rewrite them a bit, put it on the page, slap a headline on -- or place it on with flourish, if you will, look at the page and release it.
Obsession with any one part of the job is not a healthy sign. And so you move about, get a feel of things -- understand what all you may be able to pull off.
The key to the whole conundrum is -- the constant knowledge that we cannot afford to be flippant. Now more than ever, as this is pretty much it.
Taking stock: And why does it matter?
Because we are still at the workplace, don't you remember?
Now we all like to keep things sorted out into compartments, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
But the purpose of life in your life,
is not to CONFUSE you
or to throw things at you that you must reconcile or keep separate.
Well if you are control freak, lose control already, because we need you to take control of more serious matters than yourself.
So shall we come back to the work.
When you are dealing with news it should not have to be that tough to see u are in the middle of something bigger than yourself. sorry but you need to remember this to live longer so i say it in different ways, 
And if you die or plead insanity (mind you!) earlier than you should,
I will hold a grudge against you and that's not good.
I refuse to clean up after you.(And I'd like some company with the cleaning.)
If the previous line sounds like something your father/mother should have told you, it is not because I am your father/mother. It is just that maybe they didn't say it often enough
for you to remember it already.

So much for placing blame on the other. I wish you would go back to placing those headlines instead.

And that is why i said at the beginning, seena,
hold it, till you have something to say. 
unless you have it in you to hear it all.
