She Works Hard for the Money

Oh wow, has this been a long week. As the protest starting mounting again this afternoon, fueled by the Supreme Court Justice vote count mishap, I had to wonder where they got their energy. As for me, I think the stress of being in the midst of this situation is cumulative, in the same way that a mother of a newborn thinks she's as tired as she's ever been during those first few weeks, and she is, until the weeks of under-sleeping stretch into months.

And so it was Donna who came to me today, out of the far reaches of my youth, to give voice to my work-related exhaustion:

She works hard for the money

so hard for it honey

she works hard for the money

so you better treat her right...
