(Apologies to Sir Mix Alot)
I hate my job and I can not lie
You other workas can’t deny
That when the boss walks in with an itty bitty list
And a ruler in your face
You get sprung
Wanna pull up tough
Cuz you notice that list was stuffed
Deep in the wants she’s bearing
I’m trapped and I can’t stop staring
Oh, lady I wanna spit at ya
And call ya a bitcha
My voices tried to warn me
But the pay I get
It’s really torn me
Ooh, jump for the money
You say I gotta work for it honey
Well use abuse me cuz you’re making me woozy
I’ve seen you dancin’
Your razor tongue glancin’
My Sweat, you get, cuz I can’t leave yet
I’m tired and don’t feel keen
I can’t quit that’s the thing
Take the average worker and ask her that
She gotta have the greenbacks
and that’s that
So Workas (yeah) Workas(yeah)
Has your boss she got the whip (hell yeah)
Well fake it, fake it, fake it, fake it, no if ands or butts
Bossy got greenbacks
Can’t put my finger on it but it sounds familiar . . .
:0)

Awesome! This was great (and too true), and I would print it out and put it on my cube wall if I thought I could get away with it!
You have seen Office Space, right?
Hey Deb,
I was hoping you’d get a kick out of this.
And do they pay you for all the word of mouth advertising you do for Office Space? π They really should.

Geezus Annie, this made me laugh my ass off. This is one of the funniest things I have seen in forever. I needed the laugh.

You did so well with this! i’m impressed, but it’s saddening to me as well, given your other post about your job-related woe.
i hope you feel better soon, Chica.
Hey Sweetie, I do feel better actually. I’ve always relied on my writing to vent my frustration and this one really helped. Actually my boss is a nice lady – clueless, but nice.

Would it be weird if I admitted to kinda singing that to the tune of the big butts song .. even moving my shoulders a bit in rhythm to the rhymes? Yeah, I figured it would be .. Just don’t tell anyone, kay?
Funny shtuff, MsChick.
No weirder than the fact that I was singing it as I was writing it and oh yeah, the bopping wouldn’t stop neither. π

Are you kidding? Of course you can. Maybe we should start yet another blog that deals only with the topic of fat asses? How would that go….????? π

I hate cubicle life so much that I’ve opted for the past six years to serve in a restaurant to pay the bills just to avoid the Office Space nightmare. You have my sympathy.
Hey MS!
Yeah, I worked the food industry for many years for that very reason. But it just got to be too hard on the old bod. Hard to come home and hear yourself creaking with every step. π

This has almost a “rap” feel to it. Very well done. I’m one of the lucky ones who happens to like his job.

Hey Smith,
It’s a parody of a rap song called Baby Got Back – so I can’t really take credit for the cadence, just the parody.
