Premium Memberi've approached 13 people at work today and asked, 'do you like soup?'

are you pho real?
there is an overwhelming consensus 
i had to ask
two people had told me they hate all soups
'it's just water and soggy food.'
'slop in a bowl.' 
'looks like dish water.'
what kind of reaction is this?
the varieties found online are incredible
i am stewing - 
on hearing this, a colleague said to me,
'it's like your gf leaving u for another bloke
only for her to hang around your house for 
a few more days.'
i said to him, 
'it's not like that at all.'


Premium MemberShe Begs Me For Suggestions

I want suggestions she tells me
She is a colleague at my work.
I finally make some reluctantly.
they won’t work, she says. they won’t work!

Management

Presenting a problem as a ‘challenge’ instead,
Keeping dashboards all green when they should be all red,
Hear a piece of bad feedback that a colleague may give,
Flip it round in a second, calling him ‘negative’.
Turn a deaf ear or blind eye to an issue or two,
Just so long as the issues can’t trace back to you,
Set the team stupid deadlines till they’re all pretty pissed,
But then make that a positive, cause you’re an optimist.

A Necessary Evil

I often moan about my job,
a certain colleague, and my boss -
I wish I didn't have to go
to work (I wouldn't mourn its loss).

Without a job I'd be quite skint;
it puts the money in the bank -
I think of that and carry on
(unsure of what or whom to thank).

Farewell

Genteel and articulate, 
An inspiration you have been. 
Loyalty and Passion
In you, we have seen. 

Rising through ranks, 
Sweat blood all this while. 
Making your way, 
Through every test and trial. 

It's about time, 
To graciously pass the baton. 
Leaving a legacy, 
That we'll now build upon. 

Your cabin walls, 
Will confine you no more. 
You're set free, 
To venture and to explore. 

Nostalgia lingers, 
As we bid adieu. 
Happy 2nd innings Sir, 
A new life awaits you!

WORK

Wonder what they learned in preschool

Obviously it wasn’t playing nice

Rarely can you trust a colleague

Kindness always has a price

How To Look Busy At Work

How To Look Busy at Work

By Elton Camp

When quitting time is still an hour away
If you don’t want to work any more that day

There’s a neat little trick I learned long ago
That lets you goof off but nobody will know

Just walk around, occasionally stop and stand
Be certain you have a clipboard in your hand

Then rove your eyes through the office all around
Stop to write while you shake your head & frown

Nobody will question an activity that’s so grim
Out of fear that you may be writing about them

What you’re doing, even your super won’t ask
He suspects his boss is gonna take him to task

Remember occasionally to put a new page on top
Attempts to look over your shoulder that’ll stop

They all suspect that, for the CEO, you’re a rat
So are afraid to make you mad because of that 

When a colleague isn’t called in, that’s a relief
And that you were working increases his belief 

Each will think that you did an excellent job
As you didn’t report him, but some other slob

Premium Member'god Selected the Perfect Rose'

your voice now silent
never to see you smile again

you left us heartbroken
unprepared
shocked to silence

we remember
your laughter and your
“I can go on attitude”
never complaining
just being you
even when fighting
this battle

we'll never know why
you had to leave us so soon
we'll always wonder
we'll always have questions

God knew your journey was complete
when He selected the perfect rose for His garden today---

IN LOVING MEMORY OF A FRIEND AND COLLEAGUE,
MICHELLE SCHULTZ 26092011

We, at BABS miss you already

An Ode To Modern Warfare

Early this morning, as I walking down to my lesson
I passed my Irish colleague returning from a Shakespearean session
Perhaps still thinking about the Bard, the King and the fool
As he gingerly traversed the minefield that is Simba School.

Oh! Mines and missiles inundate this scholastic terrain
And on one’s agility do place much physical strain
For teachers must side-step discarded bags and litter
Or the ballistic speed of some gossip-crazed critter.

Such is the volatility and unpredictability on this battleground
That careless missilery does ruthlessly abound
Ready for another, untimed, dubious, un-aimed at launch 
That might sock our Economist upon his paunch. 

Of course, primitive methods, such as those David used
Might upon our historian or accountant be abused
As a bag-load of books might catapult through the air
And catch you on the forehead, full and square.

It’s a battleground, this, the halls of Simba School
Where “badly-uniformed” guerillas vociferously rule!
