The Dash Poem - by Linda Ellis

I read of a man who stood to speak
At the funeral of a friend
He referred to the dates on her tombstone
From the beginning to the end
He noted that first came the date of her birth
And spoke the following date with tears,
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years
For that dash represents all the time
That she spent alive on earth.
And now only those who loved her
Know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not how much we own;
The cars, the house, the cash,
What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our dash.
So think about this long and hard.
Are there things you’d like to change?
For you never know how much time is left,
That can still be rearranged.
If we could just slow down enough
To consider what’s true and real
And always try to understand
The way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger,
And show appreciation more
And love the people in our lives
Like we’ve never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect,
And more often wear a smile
Remembering that this special dash
Might only last a little while.
So, when your eulogy is being read
With your life’s actions to rehash
Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent your dash?

NEW OFFICE POLICY

Dress Code:

1) You are advised to come to work dressed according to
Your salary.

2) If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a
Gucci bag, we will assume you are doing well financially
And therefore do not need a raise.

3) If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your
Money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes, and
Therefore you do not need a raise.

4) If you dress just right, you are right where you need
To be and therefore you do not need a raise.



Sick Days:
We will no longer accept a doctor's statement as proof
Of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.

Personal Days:
Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year.
They are called Satu rdays & Sundays.

Bereavement Leave:
This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing
You can do for dead friends, relatives or co-workers. Every
Effort should be made to have non-employees attend the
Funeral arrangements in your place. In rare cases where
Employee involvement is necessary, the funeral should be
Scheduled in the late afternoon. We will be glad to
Allow you to work through your lunch hour and
Subsequently leave one hour early.




Bathroom Breaks:
Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet.
There is now a strict three-minute time limit in the
Stalls. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will
Sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the stall
Door will open, and a picture will be taken. After your
Second offense, your picture will be posted on the
Company bulletin board under the 'Chronic Offenders'
Category. Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be
Sectioned under the company's mental health policy.



Lunch Break:

* Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they need
To eat more, so that they can look healthy.

* Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a
Balanced meal to maintain their average figure.

* Chubby people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that's
All the time needed to drink a Slim-Fast.


Thank you for your loyalty to our company. We are here
To provide a positive employment experience. Therefore,
All questions, comments, concerns, complaints,
Frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations,
Allegations, accusations, contemplations, consternation
And input should be directed elsewhere.


The Management

I'm so angry with you
I'm angry that I'm still so sad about the decisions you've made.  I should know better by now.
Im angry because I'm feeling like I've never known you all along.
I HATE the person you've become.
Im angry because you've chosen DRUGS over your family, over your son.
I'm angry because your parents are supporting your behaviour instead of understanding and supporting me throughout this.
I'm so fucken angry that you could go on with you life, not even caring about how much you're hurting me and your son, who still asks for "daddy" everyday.
Are you proud with the life you're living? A life of lies, recklessness and selfishness.
I fucken hate that this is what has become of you. 
You sicken me, not in a million years did I think YOU, of all people would do this to me.
How could you?
How can you not even realise how much of a problem you have?
How can you not SEE everything you're missing.
You're a complete loser, deadbeat.  I never pictured myself ever being able to call you a DEADBEAT and mean it.
I thought you had more pride then that. So easily filling that title,without even noticing or CARING.

       ==========================================================================================

Marc has been making an effort to see Owen lately which I truly was greatful for, because I dont want Owen growing up without a father like I had to. But theres always a bigger picture, the only reason he EVER comes by is because he's ran out of money. According to him, hes always "broke" but he starts coming to visit about 3-4 days before his next cheque comes in (which would be the time when he's completely broke. And usually he only comes here to "come down" per say, where he says hes coming to visit, I look over and he's sleeping. Yesterday he came and spent about an hour with Owen from around 6:30 -7:30, the left of course to go on with his regular nightly ways. I think its SAD that he can't even stay sober long enough to see his son sober. He was clearly stoned yesterday when he was here. Atleast hes a functionning pot head, non the less, I do not support this behaviour and find it quite sickening. He told me before he left he was going to come over today to drop off 100$ and a box of diapers for Owen since today is pay day. I heard that same story 2 weeks ago on his last pay day. I have full intention on not seeing him again for another week an a half when he runs out of money.

How can you make your son your last resort, when he deserves to be nothing less then your first priority.
I fucken HATE you. How fucken DARE you be so selfish.

Where do I begin, How do I begin.
How do I begin pretend to be happy again, pretend to love again.
Will it come? Somebody lie to me and tell me it will.
Dont tell me time heals everything when I'm living in the present.
Every ounce of my being has been completely focussed on your happiness.
Everytime you leave, you take part of me with you, never returning it.... What a selfish game you're playing with my heart.
How do I come to terms with knowing that the only person I've ever completely trusted is the one that lets me down the most.
The one that cant open his eyes long enough to see how much it hurts me.
Why do I mean so little to you?
I love you, I always will. I wish in this moment that I never loved you, so this wouldnt hurt so bad.
why wont you just hold me and take away all this sadness?
I hate whats become of you, whats become of us. There is no us, was there ever? In your heart, was there ever an us, or two seperate entities. One soul wrapped around the other one, holding on dearly while the other one struggles to be free.
I wanted the fairy tale, I lied to myself to create the illusion of two souls happily unified. I guess you could say I lived in my own little world, completely oblivious to who you are, what youre about and the diminishing respect I've learned to have towards you.
I hate you, I hate you, I hate you.  I love you
I just want to love you, I wanted so desperately for you to be the right person for me. You aren't. How do I come to terms with that, how do I convince my mind of that, and expect my heart to fallow trend.
Please do not let me go back, theres a comfort there, a sense of security. How do I feel secure with somebody who lets me fall, time and time again. Please beg me to stay away. Please come home

Dont you see, why am I the only one that has my eyes wide open?
Surrounding yourself with reassurances that what you crave is ok. Meaningless entities.
Why am I the disposable one?
Why dont you crave companionship, love, nurturing,  SIGNIFICANCE... (I wasn't worth it I guess) 

Theres a seperate entity, I tiny piece of heaven, my slice of heaven, thank you for that.
My slice of heaven, it's too strong to resist,
It consumes me, my mind, my heart, my soul, as it should.
I love it dearly, my beautiful blonde haired blue eyed slice of heaven.
I dont deserve this gift, but I'll gladly hold it dearly and cherish it.
Why do you so desperately want my piece of heaven?
Why do you want this, when its so different from the hell you enjoy...
My heaven doesnt need to be intertwined with your hell.
My heaven is not you're saviour, you should be his.
The role model. A masquerader without his mask, you dont even TRY.
Why did you create this monster? A monster that in every sense, deserves to be living in his own personal hell, the hell of his own mind, which is too foggy with substance to realise that heaven was never very far away.
Or was it ( i )never really good enough to be heaven?

Never in tune long enough to notice or save me from the darkness you've created in my being. Why do you not only allow me to live in this darkness, but create it for me?
The walls are falling around me everytime I think of you, why does my mind have to play these games with me?
I miss you
I HATE YOU
Why did you let me build these walls. WHY. Why did you let me build my walls and paint my pretty pictures when the foundation wasn't there.
Why do you let me hurt, the one person I trusted enough to build these walls for. All by myself, building walls, only to see them come crashing down.  When the foundation was so cleverly disguised as something prominent, something permanent.
I dont want to do this, I dont want to carry the blame anymore. I HATE YOU. I HATE YOU, but I love you.
I try so hard to hate you. I try so hard to love you. Please just let these walls disappear, like they never existed in the first place.
Do you ever stop and actually allow yourself to feel. Why are you so cold. Why am I so easily disposable.

The foundation was never there, I just filled the gaps.

Today is TWLOHA day...
This day means a lot to me,
and most of my friends on here know what its like to lose a friend to suicide.
If you have the chance, please participate.
