Early Out

Gift from work partner-
my end of week solo for
early out today

That kind of shift

hump day-
keeping the lines going
with tons of sweat

Delightful Surprise

delightful surprise-

getting a teamwork award

from another boss

Medication

the startup from hell-
drown my sorrows in Diet Pepsi
at 7AM

Rest Killer

Just got told-
Doing a short swing
at end of the week

moving toward weekend-
seeing the top of my desk
and empty in bin

Things are Looking Up

First for me
in on technical meeting
taking lots of notes

Masquerade

Tuesday startup-
running the floor for hours
thinking its Monday

end of long week-
lots of bare space on the desk
paperwork done

Long Weekend's Eve

eve of long weekend-
starting to clear off the desk
to create work calm

week three on days-
nagging cough finally gone
almost feel rested

Monday Morning

Day 14 of cold-
finally able to sleep
drooping home

Hump Day

Hump Day

scrambling for 2 PM

striving for Friday

Week 2 on days-
getting to bed way early
lots of chores at night

Monday, Monday.....
juggling personnel
explaining downtime

singing to myself

after brutal shift from hell-

"I'm still standin'....."

managers' meeting
two department heads asking
for my services

first workday of year
river full of frozen weeds
behind the parking lot
