The 12 Steps to Business Prosperity for the Workaholic
The Workaholic Creed
My world of no stimulation is safe
There's no pain, no insecurity, no unanswered questions
I keep myself busy with meaningless druthers
And look away from my life
​
Too many unnecessary tasks to complete
Too many unimportant details to attend
Too many irrelevant phone conversations to finish
Too many reasons to ignore me. I do not exist.
​
You see if I don't focus on my life
I have no pain, no fears
I can move through life like another drone
Day by day by day by day
And feel the glorious blah of nothingness
​
My world is five feet across and four feet wide
I import the stimulants that keep me serene
I weed out any semblance of emotion
And I churn out churn
And pretend it's work,
​
And work is my life.
