High Pressure Demands

"Have a nice day".
"See ya Monday, have a nice weekend".

Have a good day, she says, and she doesn't even know me.
Have a nice day. Have a nice day. Have a good day.
I get it in the elevator. At the store. In the hall. All over town. People I know and people I don't even know demanding that I have a nice day. So many people making these expectations on me.

Don't misunderstand, I know how to have a nice day. I've had them before. Well shoot, it was, uh, let's see, last month. Sometime in September I had one. Did that satisfy anybody? No, they keep wanting more.

Why do these people keep pushing me, keep pressuring me. What is it with these orders being thrown about like they were nothing. Just think about all the things that need to work just exactly so, for someone to have a nice day. Things have to go right. You have to do right. You have to avoid screwing up or doing wrong. You can't even sin. Or can you? Hmmm, now that one is a poser.

This is a lot of pressure.
All these people expecting me to have a nice day. What happens if I don't? What about if I don't want to have a nice day. Sometimes you know, I just feel like being a poop all day. Sometimes I get down and I get to feeling nasty and I just don't want things to go well. Who do these people think they are, trying to force my bad day into a nice one. If I need a bad day and all these jokers steal it from me then tomorrow might not be a nice day either. What would they think then? Two non-nice days in a row. How're they going to handle that?

I worry a lot about getting grumpy. How many people am I going to let down if I have a bad day instead of a nice one? That's a lot of guilt to carry around. I've thought before of writing down all those people who order me to have a nice day. Then, that evening. Well, the next morning I guess (since you don't really know for sure how good or bad your day will be until it's over) I could call them and apologize if I screwed things up and got depressed or bad moody and failed to have a nice 'one'.
"Have a nice day".
You there, I'll say. Give me your phone number.
"What?"
I need your number. I need to let you know if I've let you down.
"What? What are you talking about. Leave me alone, dude. Just stay away".
But I need your number.
"Want a pop in the nose M**** F****? Just keep away from me".
Well ok then. No way for a nice day now.
And you don't get one either buddy. How's that?

I just need to nip this in the bud. I need to stop them before they heap more challenges on me. I need to tell them outright. NO NICE DAYS. I need a business card or something. A ball cap or a tee shirt. That's it, a T-shirt.
I need to make a T-shirt.

NO NICE DAYS
I CAN'T TAKE THE PRESSURE
