"I can get the answer
for you faster
if you don't stand there
looking
over my shoulder."

"OK I am walking away."

I just heard my name
used
by a co-worker
in a lame
analogy.
I like to lay with my feet pointing east
so that before sleep
I can see where I am
going.
Overheard at the office
their voice taking on
a
lower
register

"Business rule my ass"
Morning sound inventory.

1) Coffee Maker clucking.
2) Refrigerator humming.
3) Aquarium gurgling.
4) Cars hissing.
5) Bus grumbling.
6) Planes buzzing.
7) Jaw popping (when I yawn).
8) Crows admonishing.
9) Unknown cheeping.
10) Baseboards clicking.

Like a northern grizzly bear
I have started to hibernate,
turning the heat way down,
going to bed early under
a pile of warm blankets,
finding my dreams
mixing in with my
waking contemplations.

In a shocking case of cubical comeuppance Abigail shows no respect for her elder and disguises my cube as the Boston Globe. This led to a vigorous fist shaking and rumination of what would have happened to this irksome whippersnapper back in my day.
The worst part was it took me 3 hours to free myself leading to my Ensure getting warm!
