It's getting dark, too dark to see

Just when I thought it's hay time, the gloom and doom around is threatening to cloud my vision once again.

A few days ago, we read about New Orleans police turning in their badges. This morning, when I was listening to music on my way to work, it struck me just how perfectly fitting this song below is in portraying the situation there.

And as if that's not enough bad news, we now learn of a plane crash in nearby Medan.

Just when I was about to leave work today, my boss broke the news to us that yet another colleague has tendered his resignation. Ok, that's factually incorrect, since he's only the second one to do so this year. The other four were laid off. But there goes one third of the company. The lunch clique has dwindled to that two or three people.

If I don't turn in my badge any time soon, I might just end up being the sole survivor here. Too bad there ain't no million bucks for that.

Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore.
It's gettin' dark, too dark to see
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door x 4

Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore.
That long black cloud is comin' down
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door x 4

-- Bob Dylan, Knockin' on Heaven's Door
