Treat them with respect
But remember they are part
Of something larger
There are things to do
At a certain time and in
A certain order
I will hurt myself
But I will not flinch or cry
Must not show weakness
Went through my inbox
And added my little flags
Ready for the day
The world is changing
Yesterday’s success will be
Tomorrow’s failure
He gave it a try
He took my advice and it
Improved his outcomes
A simple story
In the hands of a master
Infinitely deep
Every other day
Is a certain recipe
For falling behind
Matriculation
A word you have to define
Before you do it
Cameras everywhere
Each click and keystroke noted
There’s nothing to fear
You are in control
If not over what they do
Then how you react
Today is a day
For seeing the whole forest
Instead of each tree
You’re in or you’re out
It’s really simple to see
But hard to accept
Don’t know how it works
Just glad it does what I need
With clicks and buzzing
I’m talking to her
Can’t you understand my need
To hear her not you?
Going to miss WriteCamp
Not because it wastes my time
I do that myself
People feel threatened
And then people get vicious
Protecting what’s there’s
No time to look back
Is bad enough. But no time
For looking forward?
Sleepless night before
A big day; Increasingly
A common refrain
Riding the train is
Always a better idea
Than a strategy
Work until it’s done
Is the best formula for
Job security
I feel the cool breeze
On my hot forehead and think
Of happier times
I can’t even think
When my mental fog descends
And obscures the path
Sometimes it is clean
And sometimes a giant mess
But it always gets done
Find joy in your job
It’s there if you look for it
Nurture it for growth
You’re not any good
But you can still have fun if
You give it your best
My cellular phone
Has way more power than the
Apollo spacecraft
She’s playing soccer
And barely holding her own
But still having fun
A new computer
Means trading some of your past
For a new future
Working on the road
Means no lunch or bathroom breaks
Task heaped upon task
