Traveling

on my way out of the office today...

A jug of hand soap
rides the freight elevator
unaccompanied

Audrey III

see audrey ii here

Faced my phobia
No support group for this one
Repotted my plant

Melting Pot

For a morning treat
she brings bagels and cream cheese
for all to enjoy

There was a time when
the bagel bakeries closed
during Passover

Bagels are common,
detatched from their ethnic roots
They've morphed and mainstreamed

Still, it don't seem right
to this non-observant Jew
None for me, thank you

Retained

the shoe drops

Job goes on, for now
Relief - sadness for others
Ten percent laid off

Plugged

scenes from the cube farm

We sit back to back
Earbuds in place, volume cranked
No interactions

Eveyone's tuned out
There is no iPod in Team
Office is silent

While I Was Out

Sciatica! Sciatica!

My left calf clenches
when I stand and when I walk
Rage against the pain

Code in My Nothe

A cold and a cough

with multi-colored mucus

fever and ear ache

My Mind to Your Mind

Mentor retires
Learning as much as I can
before his last day

Returned

is it a road-trip if you take amtrak?

Two days out of town
Up to New Jersey for work
Home feels good tonight

Priorities: Summer 2007

health? check! family? check! work...

Boss said, "Hey! You're back.
Not merely present, you're back!"
Let's close this chapter.

Just Ducky

annual teambuilding field trip

Summertime outing
Tour downtown and the harbor
Yummy lunch, then games

NYC: 7/11/83

the odyssey begins

First day, first real job
Forge new friendships, learn new skills
Fly through the years

And It's Only May

never let 'em see you sweat

Much too hot at work
80 with the AC on
Cool, cool water helps

3:30am Blues

early alarm for the quarterly meeting

Ugh I hate mornings
Today is much worse than most
Sleep again on train
