Let's just think of it as a small set back...kind of like this...
You see...the kyptonite represents those who repeat the mantra, "Goddamn it I work and she doesn't, so she can do it. I have a job I go to every day and she stays home so let her do it because I'm tired when I get home at night. What the hell does she do during the day? Let her see what it's like to do some work. Make her do it.She doesn't do anything. She stays at home."
So the pressure and responsibility bears down on the appointed superhero, because being a superhero isn't a "REAL" job and everyone knows that...Give the superhero a call and lay another metric ton of work on top. It's ok....superhero's don't have anything to do. It's not like they know what "real" work is after all....it's their DUTY to pick up the slack since they don't collect a "real" paycheck.
Being a superhero is thankless.
Being a superhero is lonely...terribly lonely.
No one calls you unless they need something. The phone doesn't ring unless it's a cry for help...unless there is a NEED for something. REMEMBER...you're a superhero. It's your JOB to do EVERYTHING that "REAL people with "REAL" jobs are too tired to do...or don't WANT to do...
I'm in disguise...I don't want to be a superhero anymore...
{{HUGS}} I hear what you're saying. I've seen that sort of mentality at work and it truly sucks. The trick of being a super-hero is letting some disasters fall through the cracks for normal mortals to deal with. I figure if a normal person has to solve some of the smaller problems perhaps they will appreciate how much you do actually do as a savior of mankind.
ReplyDeleteWow. My comment burped.
ReplyDeleteThe superhero could try documenting what she does with her time and presenting it to anyone who came to tell her she needs to do something they don't want to do because they don't think she does anything with her time.
ReplyDeleteThen again, strikes can be more fun.
Hope tomorrow's better for you.

Are you ever gonna come by for coffee? You just need to "forget" your cell phone and no one will find you here....
ReplyDeletePart of the problem of being a superhero is their inability to say 'no' to the natural disasters, thinking that non-superheros are incapable of helping themselves from time to time. Look at Spiderman and his inner conflict when he decided to hang up the webs...it was HARDER for him to do that than to continue to exhaust himself in slavery to people who at once honored and vilified him.
ReplyDeleteAnd then he put the damn suit back ON again, because exhaustion was easier than guilt.
I would suggest you unplug and go have a day off. Play hooky. Look at how you're running your life, and decide if you want to put the costume back on or if it just doesn't fit you anymore.
And that's all I have to say about that.
My sympathies to you on this Tuesday, elderly hell day, and election day. You know nothing brings the oldsters out like an election on their special discount day.
