Haikus for the times
August 26, 2009Jon Brooks 2 Comments »
The web site Jobacle is holding a contest calling for haikus about work. Turns out there are a lot of work and job-related haikus on the Web. Some faves germane to the current economy, gleaned from here, here, here, here, and here:
Bad economy
means no big bonus for me.
Must steal more staplers.

Editing client papers
Government clients
please don’t learn how to write well,
lest I lose my job
———————————–
How was I to know?
Apparently, when
you interview on the Hill,
snow boots are a no.
———————————–
I guess it’s a good thing
Much to my surprise,
I wasn’t fired today.
Secretly upset.

Haiku from Peter
Work sucks a lot, yes
Robs your soul, but worse
Is unemployment
————————————
Untitled
A bored expression
At least the money is good
God I hate it here.
———————————–
Untitled
a bigger cube is
the excitement of the year.
eight by eight, baby!
———————————–
I live in perpetual fear
I wonder what will
happen when my boss finds out
that I’ve done no work
———————————–
The Hunt, Stealth Mode Style
Applying to jobs
while still at my current one
I’m multi-tasking
————————————
Untitled
I’m alone at work
personal work all day
could be sitting nude
————————————
A poem by Chris
Job cuts everywhere
some jobs are much more stable
lucky garbagemen
