It’s been two years since I left my office-based career in the NHS well and truly behind me. One of the first pieces of writing I completed at that time was a poem entitled Office Tick-tock. I was reminded of it again recently when, out of the blue, I received some lovely feedback from a poet in Louisiana. I thought it was due another brief moment in the spotlight of my blog.
Office tick-tock Chit-chat, tappity tap. Skirts flirting with shirts. Geeks gazing at datasheets - the office is a buzz. Kettles whistling, printers whirring, 'Go Slow' in the corner's stirring! Footfall in the corridor. We've all heard that clip-clop before. Big bellied boss blusters in. Brainstorm this. Blue sky that. Create, debate, update, regenerate. Projected, rejected profit profiles. We couldn't give a fax a-budget! Everyone knows that management fudge it. Tick-tock, as one we watch the clock. Quick as a flash, people dash. Files are filed. Switches are switched. Teacups flung, coats unhung. Desks deserted. The buzz, buzzed off. Until tomorrow... Tick-tock, tick tock. |
