I keep asking my IT department for the top-end MacBook Pro, but they keep denying my request. They always go on and on about how I am a Team Lead on the production line, and that there is no legitimate reason as to why I would need any laptop at all. Bunch of penny pinchers if you ask me. Hell, I’ve been asking for a company card since my interview! They laugh every time I bring it up—It’s like this some big joke. Though to be fair, they said if I show up on time each day to work, I get to keep my job.

Why are you asking IT for these things, isn't this a request for idk accounting or some other department that is about spending money?

Shit that’s a great idea! I should make a presentation, just to really “wow” them. I could show it at our next safety and wellness meeting. I’m not invited to those meetings, but I’m sure they wouldn’t mind!

I appreciate your effort here, even if nobody else recognizes it.

Bless'd is he who can laugh at himself, for he shall never cease to be amused.
