Last Sunday

        Last Sunday

    Off in the distance,
    A tall church looms,
    One hundred years removed
    From its last triumph.
    The bells still bong
    A dull, faded song,
    More dirge than invitation.

    When you start a new job, the typical pattern of social interaction goes like this:

    Week One: You are quiet, distant, sullen, and speak to very few people.

    Week Two: You open up a little and realize the people are quite friendly.
 
     Week Three: You begin to see that Jeff is a filthy pervert, Ann is a lush, and Nicolas is a bigot. Screw them all!

     We think you're going to like working here.
