Here today and gone tomorrowI've mentioned a couple times this work that I've been having issues with work lately. A couple months ago, I asked for a raise and a promotion, and every step of the way, it was met with resistance. And when they finally started to come around, what they came up with wasn't very much at all. It was, and is, a situation that has left me frustrated and somewhat bitter. I know that I deserve more than they are giving me.
And I could choose to take that frustration and bitterness out on my coworkers, my clients, my projects. And believe me, at times it is so tempting. But I'm trying so hard not to. I'm trying so hard to be the model employee, and this line from the song is one of the reasons why.
I really don't have all that much time on this earth. I could spend it being angry at work all day, or I could go to work with pride and integrity, and show them how much I do for them, and how much they are going to miss me when I'm gone. I could slack through work, doing just enough, or I could push myself to become even better, going home each day satisfied with the amount of effort I put in. That's how I'm choosing to spend it, until "gone tomorrow" means I've found a new job.
