Millionaire Wannabe

At work on Saturday, supposed to be an off day,
got pissed off by an assistant, a temp

who came in two hours late and so
could not hand up her work on time.
(And she was the one getting paid for the day.)
Her excuse: there was no one to take her to work,
and she didn't know how to take buses,
had never taken buses before
and didn't like taking buses at all.
Her words pricked my brain like a million needles
and I heard myself told her
next time not to tell me that she could only top up
her mobile phone credit on payday.
