About your office!\n\nWe work hard at our jobs, and in return we are frequently plagued by bad coffee, strange smells, paper cuts, other people, and, at least once a week, Mondays. So what better way to tackle the absurdities of the modern workplace--to get a little peace!--than with Zen poetry? In the first poetry collection to do just that, Office Haiku contains witty haiku divided into chapters including \"Monday Mornings Suck,\" \"Paper Cuts, Office Equipment, and Other Maladies,\" \"Existential Malaise,\" \"Departmental Meetings,\" and, of course, \"Anywhere But Here.\"\n\nInformed by a lifetime of work, James Rogauskas's haiku speak for themselves (and everyone else):\n\nSitting at my desk\nAs proudly as any serf\nOn his scrap of dirt.\n\n\"This has to go out\"?\nAnd I was waiting for desk\nFairies to type it.\n\nI sit wondering;\nCan someone die of boredom?\nOnly time will tell.\n\nIf I could read minds,\nI would certainly have a\nBetter job than this. \"I thought I knew all the reasons to hate cubicle life, but James Rogauskas have given me a pork barrel full of laughs to ease my deary Monday mornings. This book should be required reading for all corporate managers!\"--Mary K Witte, author of Redneck Haiku: Double-Wide Edition\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0312352484\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.0312352484.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Rogauskas, James\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in very good condition.
