Sassette's Terrible Work Day

Sassette's description of her work day:



Based on that doleful but artistic depiction, Xen presents unto her this Haiku:

Lost in the work flow.
Buried beyond belief now
Hopelessly drowning.

with a look ahead...

Finally over.
Tomorrow begins anew
Rejuvenation.

Inspired By A Lame Customer Service Meeting

This annoying meeting came complete with a video set to what sounded an awful lot like porn music and a workbook! Because we are not adults and professionals! We are pre-schoolers (who respond to porn music, apparently)!

*ahem*

Customer Service:
Be prompt. Be nice. Be helpful.
This means you, Jackass!

You Keep Me Breathless

Xen had to run in the parking garage today because of the dark, dreary, rainy, soul-sucking weather. Thus is presented:

The Coro Running Haiku
Running the Coro Garage
Spiral up and down
Concrete pathway to Asthma.

Coulrophobia Haiku...

clowns frighten because
the unknown lurks beneath their
cheerfully fake smiles

Coulrophobia

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source

Coulrophobia is a mental condition concerning the fear of clowns and mime artists. It has attracted a large amount of interest in the entertainment media and on the internet, where websites have been created to specifically address the condition.

In discussions of causes of coulrophobia, sufferers seem to agree that the most fear-inducing aspect of clowns is the heavy makeup, often accompanied by the bulbous nose and weird color of hair, that conceals the wearer's identity.

Suffers sometimes acquire a fear of clowns after having a bad experience with one personally, or seeing a sinister portrayal of one in the media.
Fear of clowns is an intense fear of something that poses little or no actual danger. While adults with this fear realize that these fears are irrational, they often find that facing, or even thinking about facing, the feared situation brings on a panic attack or severe anxiety.

Symptoms tend to include: breathlessness, dizziness, excessive sweating, nausea, dry mouth, feeling sick, shaking, heart palpitations, inability to speak or think clearly, a fear of dying, becoming mad or losing control, a sensation of detachment from reality or a full blown anxiety attack.

Tribulations

Tryptophan drowsy
Giving thanks and being full
Indians got screwed
