Quote a Week Tuesday: 2016-03-01

Work, what can I say? Can’t live with it, can’t live with it 😉

Getting into a right frame of mind at work, especially when the cups are overflowing every which way and the better part of the day spent either firefighting or tilting against windmills. The one thing you need to remember, well several things actually, but if you are working in a “desk job” as a payed employee, it’s just work and five o’clock will arrive at some point of the day!

Therefore, while getting into that good place in my mind before ending up in a straight jacket, I decided to look into the humorous side of the working life 😛 After all, if a laugh a day keeps the good doctor away, maybe a few more will save the rest of the week!
Here are a few gems I found in order of appearance:

“I like work; it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours” Jerome K. Jerome

love-work

“Personally, I have nothing against work, particularly when performed, quietly and unobtrusively, by someone else” Barbara Ehrenreich

against-work

“When a man tells you he got rich through hard work, ask him whose?” Don Marquis

Manic Monday

“Monday is great if I can spend it in bed. I’m a man of simple pleasures, really” Arthur Darvill

Mundane Monday

Just another Manic Monday
Certainly not my fun day
Back in the office again
Simply cannot explain
It just happens
Always after weekend
Leaving me baffled
I cannot help myself
And leaves me overwhelmed
I just end up here
In this stratosphere
Called work

“I think you can find all the elements that you can find in great literature in mundane experiences” Harvey Pekar

Tree Line

Painted with the finest ink
Added a little hue of pink
The colouring book of nature
Quite a spectacular feature
Across the evening sky

Grey

Is it a smoke?
Is it a gun?
Is it a pipe?

It does not poke
It’s not even fun
It’s just a hype

It’s a piece of art
