I'm fuzzy on the meaning of this one too. Someone is waking up, and I'm not sure whether the un-parenthesized words are thoughts the narrator is having about himself or about his tasks for the day. So I can't get into his mindset. I would guess the latter, since it would mesh a little better with the ending, where he decides to go back to sleep instead of dealing with paperwork. That'd tie in with the humor aspect of it, but even then, I never figured out what exactly would be parasitic, etc. about the rest. Maybe he was just thinking through random "P" words, and "paperwork" made him decide not to start his day? I kind of liked the vague sense of mood I got from it, but I'm not sure about the meaning.
