Monday morning finds me tired and uninspired, fighting the desire to play hooky and take a sick day. Things are slow at the office, everything has been typed and filed away without a mistake. With eyelids of lead and a brain that’s dead, I struggle to stay awake. It is a losing battle. I hope no one tattles I think to myself as my neck turns to rubber and my head starts to bob. I just pray I don’t start to snore or slobber. More coffee! That would be good for me! I have to get up and walk to the bathroom. (that’s what coffee does to me) Even writing this hasn’t kept my eyes open like I was hopin’. About the time I start thinking about my next line. My eyelids start slowly blinking and sinking as I get lost in thought. A Five Hour Energy is what I should have bought. This damnable drowsy is a curse. I swear the clock is going in reverse.

Boy! Talk about been there, done that, but Retirement (long as you don't consider how poor it made me) is wonderful - especially in that respect (your poem). Seems I don't suffer those spells much anymore though - hmm, maybe it's just being at work that hits us, like, maybe we just have an "aversion" to it??? nice piece... j. |

Thanks Jimmy, I love my job and when I'm busy, I'm swamped. It is either feast or famine here for me. I'd rather be really busy all day than have to fight this down time. I'd never make it as a security guard. |
