The Team Wants to Meet

By Amos GladePublished about a year ago • Updated about a year ago • 1 min read

"Can I call you real quick?

It would be easier to chat."

Words to make my stomach sick,

Words to prepare for mental combat.

Meetings that could have been an email,

While I sit and dream of gin-soaked cocktails,

Rolling my eyes with the drum of my nails.

Is she chewing on gum?

Why is that one so dumb?

I want to scream and yell;

My emotions go numb.

Who hired this guy?

That one flat out told a lie.

The clock ticks its tock

Time slowly goes by.

I don’t understand the job that you do,

I don’t understand and it seems neither do you.

But we push on through,

And we smile polite,

It’s nearly Friday, the weekend in sight.
