Diary Notes 4 May 3012

A staggering blow, blasting us right out of the

safe harbour of calm into the stormy seas of

total uncertainty, Human Resources decided

they could not let go of the forms as they are

and are holding workshops and meetings to

change everything again, all our hard work

to comply with their requirements are come

to naught, they realised it was too easy and

decided to reinterpret and reissue in another

format, I'm reeling under this new volley and

feeling my brain cells exploding in shock

I cannot continue with routine work, having

lost the ground beneath my feet…

Oh, the joys of bureaucracy is unspeakable…

The Floundering Ship

 
A great day sailing on the
floundering ship at the office,
Hanlie an elfish, mischievous
captain, June quietly at the helm,
Hermien swinging in the rigging 

while I plotted a course through

the rapids of cascading words
spilling over my desk
 
Human Resources destabilised
the ship by throwing the compass
away yet we ploughed on, June
can’t be deflected from steering
straight for the bay of organised
perfection while updating lists -
though Microsoft warns our
software is outlawed
 
Being illegal means we are a
pirate ship; now I understand why
everything is going awry, breaking
down, why tumultuous chaos follows
in our wake – and still the ship stays
afloat and we all have fun as we try
plying our trade and playing our
marvellous instruments
 
However lacking in melody, the
rhythm full of joie de vivre makes
up for every shortcoming…
