I am beginning to lose patience
With my personal relations.
They are not deep
And they are not cheap.
- From Case Histories by W.H. Auden
I'm losing a great deal of self-esteem fast in this organisation steeped in a rigid hierarchy of ranks where I belong to the category of 'food' for both below and above me. And I think I make a real horrendous friend.
Bah.
