Work Woes of Today

WORK WOES OF TODAY

last minute meeting, rolled

out of bed, in underwear.

with blurry eyes staggering,

down the split-level stairs.

rolling eyes meeting

cancelled. grumbling.

Thank you, Chris! I was laughing at my husband's plight! LOL! Didn't have to drive to office for that cancelled meeting! He laughed too, of course. My good humor hubby!
