Polly want to crack her?

Sometimes I think I am like a dungenous crab.  I have a really hard outer layer; sometimes it might even hurt for a second to touch me if you hit me on my thorny part.  But if you get the right tools to crack me, I can be cracked pretty easily and inside you find a nice succulent piece of meat that you can't get enough of.

The problem is a lot of people don't know the right tools to crack me.  You can't crack a dungeous crab with a butter knife.  You don't always have to be so gentle.  Sometimes I need to be kicked in the ass. But you also can't crack me with a rock.  I mean you can, but then when you do, you will make a big mess.  Meaning, don't try to get to know me by putting me down and being too tough. It won't work. 

Today, on the way to work, I cried.  Why?  Because two ambulances passed me and when I finally caught up, found out that they were stopping for a homeless man who I think was dead.  And it made me sad.  And it makes me sad that I have to drive by this everyday.  And that I have to work for such a sad cause.  And that I have to pass such saddness on the way to my sad cause. 

I want a job where I can wear jeans and bring my dog.  And laugh and make money. And go home.  I don't want to cry on the way to work.

Oh Rooster...it's unfair that some days are so sad, and i'm certain that job is just sitting down the street from me waiting for you to arrive ;)
