"Stuck in a rut"

Hot coffee, cold milk
Never understood how it can be had,
A quick gulp, a soggy sandwich
And the days ordeal began..

Room full of familiar strangers
"Hello again, how are we doing today?",
A hug, a shake,kiss with a forced smile
Just something I had to do and say..

A glance around, introductions
And the guy starts to speak,
A droning voice, a sleepy state
My eyes start to feel influenced, and weak..

The breaks take forever to come
And pass away just as fast,
I start to doubt my endurance
Help!he's not funny, and I can't last!..

Catching my neighbour,sneak a nap
I give her a quiet, un-noticed knock,
Realisation dawns, awake with a jolt
She looks at me, wide eyed, in pure innocent shock..

Evening at last, time to let the hair down
A social gathering, no frills
Drinks and food, food and drinks
Ah!this is the part of training that thrills..

Play seems better than work, I thought
And gave my conscience a mighty tug,
I definitely don't have it in me
To be a work-all-day,Mr. straight-face, no-life Corporate Bug..


...and it's only Day 1!
