What if I approached my life . . .

. . . like Annie approaches hers?

The following scenarios might ensue:

Phillip:  Can I have a raise?

Boss: Well, it's just not possible at this time.  Our overhead costs have nearly doubled over the past few months, and we're trying to be conservative at this point so that we can be in a position to really take the company places after we patiently weather this economic downturn.  Let me assure you that you continue to be a valued part of this organization, and that we look forward to a bright future, of which you are an integral part. 

Phillip: Can I?

Boss:  I'm sorry, but let's get through this current period and then we can talk.  Don't you go sending your resume anywhere else though! 

Phillip: Can I?

Boss: I wish I could say yes, but as I explained. . .

Phillip: Can I though?

Boss: I'm trying to be . . .

Phillip: Can I?

Boss:  Not at this . . .

Phillip: Can I though?

Boss: No. . . I

Phillip: Cannnnn IIIIIIII?!! (Begins to cry)

Boss: No sir, you can go to your room if you want to cry, 'cause I don't want to listen to it.

 

Coworker: I've been asked to give you a brief update on the status of the project.  You may recall that . . .

Phillip: Can I do it?

Coworker: I'm sorry?

Phillip: I want to do it.

Coworker: Want to do what?

Phillip: I want to do it.

Coworker: I'm not sure I . . . 

Phillip: I want to do it.

Coworker: The presentation?

Phillip: Yeah.

Coworker: You want to do my presentation?

Phillip: I want to do it.

Coworker: I'm not sure I understand   . . .

Phillip: I want to do it by myself!

Coworker: Why do you want . . .

Phillip: I WANT TO DO IT BY MYSEEEEEEELLLLLFFF! (Begins to cry)

Boss: No sir, you can go to your room if you want to cry, 'cause I don't want to listen to it.
