No respect

[I get no respect. The way my luck is running, if I was a politician I would be honest.]

Here's another one of those "Why I'm like" stories. First it was Tim
from Big Brother, but now it's the late great Rodney Dangerfield.

Well I'm not like him that much. Sure I can be funny in a silly kind of
way, but the one true thing I have with him (and at least a portion of
his comedy act) is no respect.

I don't want to be loved or hated really, all I want is respect.

[R to the e-s-p-e-c-t! Find out what it means to me!]

As I have explained before at Company XYZ I am treated like a schmoe.
Yes, my job is a shmoe, but that doesn't mean I should be treated like
one.

When you've been doing the same type of job for two years before you get here - you think you'd get some respect. But you don't.

Then when you add up the time you've been at this company with the
other experience in this kind of job and it's heading towards four
years - you think you'd get some respect. But you don't.

You think when you'd go for a promotion your boss would not ask "are you serious?".

Well the time is nigh, people. I am going to get me some respect.

Not with hard work and dedication - no I have tried that. I will be
going on the attack and beat these people at their own game. I shall
question the questioners.

[Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage.]

It's time to rattle the cage! I don't want to leave this cage yet - I want to just make it nicer.

More information and less similes as they come :P

[Is that a gun or are you just happy to see me?]


I have been trying to get an Optimus Prime (above, left) toy for a couple of weeks now.

I was coming first in an ebay auction but then I got outbid and wasn't prepared to pay an exorbitant price for him.

[The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire...]

You see, when my house burnt down when I was a kid (yes - I was a baby
goat), I lost practically everything - including my Transformers. So,
yes I do want to get some transformers - but not necessarily the
Cabbage Patch Kids that I lost *coughs*.
