Matthew Ray - Day 1: Are You Kidding Me!

Are you kidding me
This thing's been going on for almost 18 months
And this whole time I've been a healthy one
With no complaints, I have been great
Are you kidding me
The end seemed to be coming and on the freakin' tail end
I'm stuck inside my room doing nothing
For an entire week and weekend
Are you kidding me
I feel grounded and it's like I've been locked up
Are you kidding me
Imagine turning 18 and losing your freedom
If it weren't so painfully ironic, I might laugh
Instead, I think I'll scream, um, yeah
I feel one on the way, I'm not kidding you
My mom says, "hey, at least you'll get some school done"
Mom, do you have any concept of how motivation works
Okay, I might've just now sounded like a jerk
But I just wish there was one good thing to come out of-
Hello
Hey, Matthew, it's your boss, Mrs. Manager
Oh, hey, Mrs. Manager, how are you
I'm wonderful, just enjoying the outside
Anyway, so I just found out from our district manager
That because you were exposed to someone who has COVID
You're gonna have to stay home from work for 20 days
All of which you'll get paid for
Wait, what
I know, it's... it's awful, I'm so sorry
No, n- oh. Oh, yeah, it's terrible
Well, I'll see you in 20 days if your mind is still intact
See you after your paid vacation. Bye!
(Ahh) Are you kidding me
Free money's gonna last for 20 days
This whole time I've just been an underpaid slave
And now I'm gonna get to stay at home and rest my brain
I mean, I'm still underpaid
But what's the current "do nothing" pay rate
We don't need to talk about that
Are you kidding me
Are you kidding me
I'm gonna take advantage of this time
Do some school, maybe end this semester early
Heck, I might just work out a ton and come out of this burly
Probably not, don't expect that, I'll just try to not be surly
I think everything will be just fine
