The 12 days of Employment

A couple of years ago I remade the "Twelve Days of Christmas" song/poem into something more appropriate for my house. (4 Cats & 12 Days) Well this year, we have added 2 dogs to the mix and the chaos makes my head hurt so I won't beat a dead poem about that. BUT, my employment has also taken on a new life this year. It also makes my head hurt, but I just couldn't resist.
