If wishes were trees


Car door stays unlocked
Carjack me, please, so that I
can take the day off.

Give me a little credit


They think we all steal
and search my bag every day
when I leave the store

by Retail Rosie in Malvern, PA

Just wondering...


What would Sally do
if I just launched a stapler
over the cube wall

The light at the end of the tunnel


Friday afternoons
I can do nothing else but
dream of happy hour

I never answer my phone
when my boss calls me

Thirst for purpose


Pointless jobs make us
dead-eyed and irritable
Corporate vampires

Buh-bye


I told them "I quit!"
Happiest day of my life
Find a new sucker

They don't make enough anti-bacterial hand lotion


Gross people coughing
Germs run rampant on the train
Hazardous commute

Given the choice, I'd take Captain Hook


I am Peter Pan--
never wanted to grow up
Could not prevent it
by MC Mike in Philadelphia, PA

Hope you're allergic to peanut butter


Why do people steal?
My bagged lunch had nothing good
but now it is gone

Unprofessional, what?


If I could wear jeans
work wouldn't be quite as bad
Stockings are evil
by Fidgety Fran in Houston, TX

Crying on the inside


I make jokes at work
people laugh--nobody knows
that I'm a sad clown

Spinning to a different tune


I used to DJ
and now I am a JD
It's not as much fun
by MC Mike in Philadelphia, PA

Oh, Dylan...


I constantly think
'I went to school with rich kids...
should have married one'

Hooked on late night infomercials


When I work from home
I do not take naps--I work
unlike most people
by Data Dave in Detroit, MI

Daily reminder

Work reminds us all
that youth is gone forever
Memories linger
by Data Dave in Detroit, MI

Job stability insurance


Workplace happy hours
always are good in theory,
awkward in practice

If I ever found a magic lamp


Weekends go so fast
I wish the entire work week
was two days instead

Get a Life!


My boss is eighty
and I want to scream at him
'Why won't you retire?!'

Peter Pan Syndrome

I really hate that
my ex boyfriend (the artist)
calls me a 'suit' now
Sarah Shoulderpads in Malvern, PA

Instantly regret that decision


Workplace golden rule:
when the caf has shrimp scampi
do not order it

A mathmagician couldn't fix this thing


Copier toner
Where does it come from? And why
does it love white pants?

Captain obvious


Newspaper rolled up
you walk down the hall; we know
where you are going
by Darrin Stephens in Boca Raton, FL

This stupid economy


Layoffs everywhere
My ulcer grows by the day
Somebody hold me

Because work's not bad enough, let's add shoveling


I don't like the snow
Since I'm no longer a kid
I don't get days off
Hot Toddy Tara in Philadelphia, PA
