Array ( [sid] => 185608 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Network Printers and Anxious Felines [time] => 2018-11-16 21:42:08 [hometext] => [bodytext] => My desk is a boring place.

I sit for
hours scrolling through
long lists of emails and
service requests;
barely enough coffee in
my cup to erase the
blur from my screen.

Ahh, my desk is a
boring place.

There’s a cat on my
calendar that
stares at me in a
perpetual state of nervous
anticipation,
as if awaiting my
next movement
that it might
spring out of view
and hide beyond the edge
of it’s page.
But it doesn/'/t; it sits and
gawks unmoving.

More emails..

Yet another printer is
down; the
same printer from last week.

What an absolute
headache printers are.
But
at least I can leave my
desk for 30 minutes
or so.

My desk is a
boring place

When I return I may
write a line or two
to relieve the boredom but
don/'/t expect too
much.

Not from this poem.

Ah, can we all relate tho this! You have written a funny poem here...because you speak for so many of us at work...BORING!
I bet most of us spend more time trying to make work interesting, than actually working!
Very visual writing. I can picture you at your desk.
This is so real its comical. Thank you for saying it for us so well!.

Another gem!
The emails piling up, wait,
and they could be from far far away
with a different clock.
A disc jockey of emails
spinning through which ones
are the most important to read.
The picture of the cat for you
dressed differently in South Africa
Or in South Korea, they need
an answer to a question
nobodies ever asked, and oh,
how absurd, they think I should
know.
Should I learn how to reply
in an honest way, well at least
I will ask them for more definition
to their question, seeing
it/'/s the least anyone could
do.
I stare too much at computer screens.
I read emails even when I am away
from work.
I have been hiking high up in the mountains
reading emails, and looking out at the
star filled skies.
My printers at work are all named after
birds, canary, grebe, macaw...

the group that services them come in quick,
and then they send email after email
asking if their service was good.

Peace!
