Emotional Machine

*
First day back at work in 2010, takes me longer
to do the administration, write a note about every
word I must translate -

Date received, date entered in registration list, date
handed to me, date entered on Work-On-Hand list,
date sent for checking

Date returned, date Track-Changes accepted, date
sent to client, date sent for electronic filing, date signed
out of registration list

-Than it takes to simply translate a document of sixty
words, the administration has become so absurd, I feel
like suicide when starting on it

I lose all interest in doing little things when it generates
so many lists, may not indicate the time spent on making
lists in production sheets

We must indicate the few words we translated after making
a myriad lists, I have already signed the attendance record
wrongly for January

This kind of Monopoly where we play a game to get paid, spend
so much time turning our brains into Jell-O, bureaucracy outlawing
feelings and emotions completely

Never allowing us to use creativity, turning us into machines - I am
planning to become the most creative, most emotional machine
there has ever been!
