Easy Breezy

Finally Friday.

Like a dream you came, just like

"Suddenly Seymour."

This ain't in my cubicle, but ...

Good God!

Ooooh wee! Santa black!

My neighbors done tanned his hide!

Keep your chimneys clean.

My land of misfit toys.

the Bounty

work hard, so play hard.

think of what the world would miss

were there no stress balls.

I declare WAR on the workplace!

New name: Iya Bin Redi Togo

dat-blasted monday.

you make me want to "keel" you

with your slow, slow ways.

Tylenol, Advil & Bayer, Oh My!

I's Aspirin', with Aspirin

oh how my head hurts.

Acetaminophen, please

do your duty now.

I'druthah ...

That's right. Toilets.

Today's in the can.

Euphemistically - heh.

That's just how I feel.

And we're back (no, exclamation point, you're just not necessary, no one's excited to be back at work)

Oh Monday

You come back again

snatching my freedom away,

severing all joy.

Yeah I Ate It

Whoa, my belly.

Oooh weee! I love food

'specially Thanksgiving food.

(And so do my chins.)

Just For a Wee Minute

I'm Just Sleepy Today and That's All There Is To It

Asleep at the wheel

nearly asleep at my desk

this homegirl needs rest.

Ahem.

And a Happy Monday To You, Too

That's just how I felt

a touch smarmy, impatient

for a short week's end.

So tired.

"Eyes" so weary

It feels like winter

and like a bear, I'm grumpy

and want just to sleep.

On the importance of snacks

"Get In My Belly!"

10 a.m. munchies

grab hold of me and today,

sweet! Rice Krispy Treat.

Wait. It's only Wednesday?

Huh?!

You mean to tell me

(a) it ain't even lunch yet

and (b), two more days?

I just got here, but ...

Is It Wrong For Me To Want To Go On Break Already?

The day's just started

but it's never too early

to plan my escape.

It's already over ...

... but it's not really over yet, is it?

it's only monday

and already i'm lost in

daydreams of weekends.

Cubicle life on a slow Friday

I Won't Grow Up

The older I get

the more my heart yearns to play.

I love me some toys.

Ginger Ale, meet Excedrin and twalk amongst yuhselves.

things you might need after massive msg consumption

i took two of those

and wished to sleep 'till morning

but must work instead.

Rx for Hump Day? Some Sweet Baby James.

Hello, It's Me Again

whenever you see
my smiling face you know you
have to smile yourself ;)

I've got nothing, really ...

I've Got Little To Say

On a Tuesday morn

I sit learning something new

Me, the grasshopper.

Inspired by the "irony" of "KOOL" and the Gang Singing About Things That Aren't Cool

It's Too Hot

October rising!

Eighty degrees is too hot

to rake any leaves.

"... but I miss you, most of all, my darling, when Autumn Leaves ..."

I Love Me Some Autumn!

The leaves, they may die,

but for me a sweet rebirth

fills my heart anew.

Hiatus.

The Reason for the Lack of Haiku

(not that there's anyone reading this)

It's been awhile, yes

but the inspiration died.

I'm okay now though.

The 4-Way Stop.

There Is No Right-Of-Way

Our brakes screech, halting

for the daily dosie-doe

it's never your turn.

It's the best & worst of times, commuting ...

The Good, the Bad & the Expletive(s)

Ev'ry morning trip

gives me a chance both to curse

and sing songs loudly.

A little less conversation, please.

Monday, Again.

What's with the talkin'?

All morning long the chatter

it just would not cease.

Friday, what took you so long?

I've Got a Shiny Forehead on a Cloudy Day

Exasperated,

I wait for this day to end.

It's hard to make it.

I forgot my phone today, so ...

Here's My 2nd Grade Face That's A Lot Like My Expression Today

I wait patiently

and barely mask my desire

to be somewhere else.

"Unable to Send"

I've Been Tee-IMobilized

They don't know what's wrong.

I should be able to share
sights of self at work.

Technical Difficulties

I'm Really Sorry You Can't See What Zit Scars I Have Today

Currently my phone

won't allow me to send pics.

Inconvenient? Yes.

That's me in the middle then, but today I (almost) have the same hair as the lady on the right.

I Seriously Am Becoming My Mother

I got my 'fro picked

out yesterday by my mom,

she who knows big hair.

A hostage situation.

This A.P.B. Is Brought to You By "Post-Its"

This just in: Paper

is piling up on one's desk;

week's end this is not.

I wear sunglasses indoors because ...

... I'm sunshiny on the inside

It's almost lunchtime.

I'm leaving not just for food

but for some respite.

Would They Miss Me?

Not So Noticeable Really

Were I just to leave,

drift away as though at sea,

would they e'en notice?

Different day, same mood.

I'm Not Really Suicidal, Just Deathly Tired of This Thing Called Work

This thing (beat) called work

when it gets right down to it

I can't handle it.

200 hours of vacation and I'm sitting here because ...

Rock Bottom at Week's End

Just stab me now please.

It's not like time will hurry

to end the boredom.

A half day -- just as half-hearted.

Oh Man.

It's one of those days

"eye" should have played some hooky

'cause I can't take this.

Seriously, this day is just ENDLESS.

It's Not Like I'm Pretending

I'm not held captive

but it sure does seem like it.

This day just drags on.

One year on ...

It's Nice to Feel Supported In My Endeavors

Yes, I do work hard

to stay awake, look busy

but it ain't easy.

Monday, Monday, can you trust that day?

Peering for Sunshine

I can't see the sun

Cubicles don't allow this --

little cells they are.

Somebody's gotta win; might as well be me, right?

Whatever Happened to The Luniz?

The lotto's not won

like Sam, we'll play it again.

I got five on it.

Six Days from One Year

Well, It's a Milestone for Me

It'll be my first --

this job I've held for a year.

That seems crazy, huh?

It's a throat-punchin' kinda day.

On the Importance of Having One's Toys In Office Environs

you just never know

when someone will set you off

so find a target.

Why is it wrong to call a fool a fool?

Why Is It Wrong To Call a Fool a Fool?

When someone shows you

what they are believe them, right?

Mr. T agrees.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaah! The weekend!

A Finger Puppet Hangs Loose

the weekend's nearer

'though time is just trickling by

i am hangin' tough.

When you're so busy you swear you're crazy.

Wait. Where's My Head Today?

what a crazy day

was i coming or going?

i really should go.

Remember those that told you "all you ever needed to know you learned in kindergarten?"

I Remember Back In the Day When I got an "E" in Napping

I have been lied to.

They took my recess and naps.

Oh, how youth doth fade.

Tuesdays are for trying.

Still I Cling to Childhood Things (With Good Reason)

I have been detained

etched in this cube; I can't play.

Recess was revoked.

It's Monday and already I pine.

Because I Looked at My 401(k) and Realized I've Still Too Far To Go

My despair is real.

I can't possibly do this.

Are you kidding me?

Even though the weekend is near.

Stress Balls Ain't Just For Squeezin'

Stress cares not what day

it strikes. I squeeze the ball tight.

I want to throw it.

My mama told me ...

... about being mindful of other people's food, yo

you just never know

where coughs and hands have landed

choose your grub wisely.
