Eight hours in the office? Try 10 to 12 once you tack on the commute. Feeling the pressure yet? Traffic’s turning savage, every morning we funnel into the Dell parking lot like a line of German ants hauling offerings to the queen. Efficient, loyal, and absolutely exhausted.
And just as you park, the faint sound of Under Pressure fades out.
I want those windows cracked and the volume turned up on Monday.
For the record (no pun intended), the song is about the stress and anxiety of modern life, especially how pressure affects people emotionally and socially. It explores how external pressures from work, relationships, expectations, and society can cause individuals to feel overwhelmed or disconnected.
It’s a plea to recognize our shared struggles but also to lift each other up instead of giving in to fear or division.
Mmm num ba de…
Well you have to be a loyal little soldier to work at Dell. No free thinking!!
Get it right skippy, it’s more like the shameless Vanilla Ice lift of Queen’s legendary bass-line.
I can hear it in my head now, dun dun dun-dun-dun-dun
That bargain-bin Vanilla Ice copycat riff. Let’s kick it!
