"Working Session" lyrics:
(Verse 1)
I was chillin' after meetings, just sippin' on my brew
Then my Slack started buzzin', couldn't ignore the cue
Got a message from a colleague, "Hey, got a sec?"
Checked my schedule, rest of the day's clear, don't wreck
(Pre-Chorus)
"Yeah, my calendar's updated, just block a time"
Take a hint, man, not today, it's almost mealtime
Another Zoom call, need to wait for that sorrow
But I’ll say yes, ‘cause sometimes you gotta swallow
(Chorus)
It's a working session, on a Zoom connection
Got my game face on, but my heart's in rejection
Yeah, it's a working session, and there's no guarantee
That it'll get resolved in one go, we will see
(Verse 2)
They say, "I hope it's a quick one, don't mean to bother"
But it’s like herding cats or training an otter
Twenty minutes in, and we're still off the track
Making another coffee, I'll be right back
(Pre-Chorus)
"Yeah, my calendar's up-to-date, just book a slot"
But who knew, this was gonna cost me a lot
Still, I clicked "Accept," didn't wanna be rude
Maybe it's a blessing, could be dodging something crude
(Chorus)
It's a working session, on a Zoom connection
Got my game face on, but my heart's in rejection
Yeah, it's a working session, and there's no guarantee
That it'll work out in just one, we will see
(Bridge)
One issue leads to another, every single day
Throwing out examples, sending links their way
But it's beyond their level, they can't even test
Getting them fully set up, that's another quest
(Verse 3)
Now I'm staring at the calendar, six hours this week
Helping out a colleague, feeling drained and weak
What can I do? If I ask, it circles back
Sprint's ending, gotta finish some tasks, tic-tac
(Chorus)
Working session, yea, it's a working session
There's no guarantee
That it'll work out in one try, not for me
(Outro)
So I'm closing up my laptop, gotta get away
Praying for my sanity, I can't do this all day
Yeah, it's a working session, and it's for the best
I need to put on my oxygen mask, take a breath
