Professional Tips, by Rona

tied to desks
tied to numbers
no more time for silly slumbers
project
project
proposals oh my
how's the format?
was that a sigh?
morale must be high!
confidence a must!
work late work hard,
help us trust!
if you do not look like us,
if you do not moan and stress,
if you do not create meetings
in an attempt to work less,
if you do not forward emails,
if you do not reply to all,
how do we know you are working,
accomplishing anything at all?
we want to communicate,
we want to talk things out,
we don't want to read your reports,
please just spell them out.
you are a human number cruncher
at our beck and call
why are you packing up your bags?
have you any respect at all?
we're only trying to give you advice,
tell you how it should be done
it will make your job much easier,
it will help your projects run.
so please do take our words to heart
and write them down somewhere
someplace where they're always close
we recommend your underwear.
no, do not leave,
no, do not pout,
we only say this
because we have more clout.
now sit right down
please be a good sport
it's just like you
to cut a meeting short.
Now try to relax,
please do not sour.
let's get started on your attitude--
we hope you have another hour?
