Givin' This Week the Boot

To Work Hard Is To Play Hard

Kickin' up my heels,

ready to boot, scoot, boogie

into the weekend.

Snugged Up

Yeah, I'm Wearing a Snuggie At Work. So?

The weather outside

is frightful, but inside too?!
This ain't delightful.

'Tis the Season

For My Kind of Re-Gifting

This year's homemade cheer
smartens up my cubicle
with Wordsworth indeed.

Don'tcha Want to Jam?

I Can't Help But Make Faces When I Dance

Finger-snappin' jams

get me chair dancin' showin'
off my dancer face.

Nearer My Weekend To Me

T Minus Two Days

Near the tunnel's end

light rays beam a future bright

with freedom, release.

I Said Brrr! It's Cold In Here!

'Cause There's Some Cheap Behind Folk Up In This Atmosphere

It's that time again.

Gotta Jazzercise my hands

to get my work done.

My Emotional Canvas

This Face: A Thousand Thoughts

I use this face for

painting moving images

for when I'm not moved.

Cubicle Discomforts

Hotter 'n Hot

Hot stank air laden

with stagnation, oppressing

a once joyful mood.

Bump Lara Skinny-A$$ Croft.

Nitadee: Snack Raider

Loving them is wrong.

It costs too much for so li'l
Greed overpowers.

Midday Respite

At the Park

Lunch time is lounge time.
And on a sunshiny day
I got real comfy.

The Time Flew, But ...

I Did What I Had To Do, Not What I Wanted

Working hard all day
leaves me with little time to
ponder my escape.

Because an Inanimate Object Told Me To

I'mma Buy Me a Drank

The can said to drink.
Sweet Southern nectar beckoned.
I chose to comply.

Plum Out of Things to Say

This Is the Pits
There is nothing nice
'bout the angst I feel so I'll
stuff my face instead.

I Mean, Really.

Friday, Bye-Day!

I know it's Friday
and I should be grateful but
I just want to leave!

Orange I Glad

Orange I Glad

Commuting is fun.
My seatbelt symbolizes
the prison I'm in.

Pardon me ...

The Side-Eye Approaches
The signs are all there.
The eyebrow arches, lips purse,

eyes do the swivel.

A Cube Is Still a Cube

California Discombobulation

California dreams
die like jumpers off the Bridge
like workers in cubes.

Such is a So-Called Sacrifice

Overtime v. Overwrought

(The 10:45 pm edition)

So this is what's meant -
Extra work plus long hours

Desk is a bunk bed.

What's Sanity Got to Do With It?

Perfect for Mondays and My Alto: Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo

Tina Turner knows
this tenet illuminates
the workings of life.

The Drive

Who's Zoomin' Who?

In my car I go
fast and slow headed nowhere
to a place called Work.

Just One of Them Days

Sit a Spell

Well, since I'll be here
I may as well not pretend
and just get comfy.

Mama Say Mama Saw I'm Hot Today

"What Can I Say? It's You & It Looks Good!"

Wonders never cease
It's rare that she e'er approves -
Mama loves my hair.

Inevitably I've Somehow In Some Way Become My Mama

Different Decades, Same Styles
We share the same genes
but have different features
and our hairstyles match.

Tan On!

Soaked Up the Sun
Like lasers the rays
pierce my skin, etching blackness -

a new farmer's tan.

Tepid Tuesday

Can't Fake the Funk
Some days are just eh.
This is me not feelin' it
More often than not.

Saving Me From Myself

Otherwise I'll Go Crazier Than I Look

Although it's Friday -
and a Good one! - it's vital,
I must breathe deeply.

Fueled for Friday

The Doubleshot

Gettin' my drink on
in the office (soberly)
can lead to fun times.

Because Karma Has a Certain Charm

Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah!

That Mister Bluebird?
He's not just on your shoulder;

he's a state of mind.

The Starting Point.

Merging Towards the Exit Strategy

To "Do What You Are"
seems like the simplest concept.
Hope I can find out.

What a Feelin'!

Sun, Weekend and More

The sun is shining,
the weekend looms. I feel like
dancin'. Jazz hands y'all!

The Point

Is This Where I Begin or End?

On the horizon
a boundless future awaits
but where is the point?

Dear Billy Joel:

Will Vienna Really Wait For Me?

This KitKat had four.

They were fleeting. A real break?

I sure could use one.

This 'ku Is Brought to You By ...

The Church of Amos Lee

Somethin's gotta give -
more I strive, less I'm alive ...
Oh, I need a plan.

The Power of Daydreaming

In My Mind I'm Gone To ...

In one sweet moment
my soul escapes. Sun and sand
welcome me. Planning ...

Ooops On Side My Head!

Clashes with My Glasses

Frames block my side sight.
Periphery's gone. Not good.
Can't see who sneaks up.
