tension resttles in the back

road trip for lumber
stopping off at Staples
to Admin's stuff

envelop all the day's free time
-it came together

hump day-
glimpsing end of this week's paperwork
more retirement plans


chatting with boss-
needing lessons in the skill
of managing upward

paperwork day-
pizza with guys for lunch
whittling on the pile


chatting with boss-
planning retirement party
and next week's manning

first day after vaca
gossip raging on the floor
office filled with stuff

everyone needs something
only I can do

vaca minus two days-
working through audit stuff
boss' to do list
