A little tidbit I thought I'd share with you wonderful folks

...resignation letter

entitled:

"Hotel Motorola"
(sung to the tune of Hotel California)


- - instrumental intro - -

On a dark Texas highway, numbered one-eighty-three...
There's a sweatshop where the sun don't shine, we call Mos-thirteen.
I got a job on the night shift, my common sense had unfurled.
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, had I left the real world?

As I stepped in the doorway, my fears had started to swell,
And I was thinking to myself I doubt it's heaven, it might just be hell.

Well I met with my trainer, and she showed me the way,
There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say,

Check out of the Hotel Motorola.
To see paradise (to see paradise), you must close your eyes.
Time to get out of the Hotel Motorola.
Don't you want a taste, of a better place.

My mind is definitely wasted, I got the wafer-fab blues,
Can't remember anything, that I learned in my schools,
Someone said it's exciting, I don't know what they meant,
Some work for the weekend, some work for the rent.

I've got a name and a future, that I cannot resign, they said:
"Don't you know we only know you as, R-A-6-6-9-9."
And still those voices keep calling from faaaaar awaaay,
Wake me up in the middle of my break, just to here them say, hey...

Check out of the Hotel Motorola.
All their benifits, are your opiates.
Time to get out of the Hotel Motorola.
Every time of year, we'll be working here.

Management on vacation, maintenance on the 'Net.
Went and told them 'bout a broken tool, but they'll probly forget.
In the employee break room, we had another pot luck,
We broke some wafers in the rush to leave, but we just don't give a
_____

I'm finished with Motorola, don't fuss and don't fight,
Gotta kick some sense into, that old bitch dog called Life.
"Stay put" said the cut-throats, "we are, programmed to deceive"
"You'll get time off any time you like but, you must work Christmas
Eve!"

- - guitar solo, instrumental outro - -

Hotel California was the first MP3 I ever downloaded... ::nostalgia::

------------------
A monk asked Joshu: "Has a dog Buddha-nature or not?"
Joshu answered: "Mu."

Mumon's comments: "Has a dog Buddha-nature? This is the most serious question of all. If you say yes or no, you lose your own Buddha-nature."
