Free Lunch

I was taught that you're never in a position to demand until you've proven your worth. It is because of this that I often put everything else on hold while I make my bones. Today, someone told me I didn't deserve my lunch. If it came from anyone else, I could perhaps swollow it. But no. I've earned my lunch IN THE SHORT TIME I've been here. You, sadly screwed up yours. So thanks, but you keep your silver platter. I'm happy using my paper plate.
