Here is an old thing which I wrote when I was in a particularly boring assignment. I will call this poetry :-) (apologies to all you great poets out there)
==
What a wonderful morning!
But here I am, sitting in my chair,
Wondering if life, to everyone, is fair?
I check my mails in the two accounts,
as usual, nothing significant; only extractions and check-outs!
I do some enthusiastic work, dream of the finished jobs.
Full of energy, I punch keys and click buttons!
At the back of my mind, I know something is catching up..
try as hard as I can, I know I cant escape the drudgery of this work!
I fight to keep my thoughts focussed, as I at the monitor gaze,
its 10 am, time for a walk around the maze.
I do some pitty pattying on the keyboard till its time for lunch,
at the canteen, stand in the salad line or wait for the pizza brunch.
some chit chat, and back I am - in my chair,
As usual, no one else, but the monitor, keyboard and mouse to my despair.
Consciousness, after some time - becomes very rare.
What am I doing? To this job I am supposed to be fair!!
I borrow some enthusiasm, this task is almost over,
Why not finish it and then do some leftover?
I still fight my sleep back, is it time for coffee?
half asleep, I find my way to the machine,
As I insert some quarters, I can almost see my fav espresso down there,
back I am, sipping the last bit in my same old chair.
I am now fully awake, and rush to complete the tasks for the day,
I do it, but I know I am tired of doing this everyday!
I think - after all, if everything is going to be almost like this,
I decide - why bother? this is my day which I dont want to miss.
I wonder as I awake in my bed lay,
Who knows, tomorrow might as well be my day!
Who knows, I would be in some other chair.
I should not repent then; that I lost my golden time in such despair!
Here I am, a changed person,
Knowing - that all this is ephemeral.
I decide I shall enjoy to the most,
Keeping every single bad thought out of the host :-)
I shall take life as it comes,
And enjoy every moment as it goes!

This is very nice! In between the monotony of routine we should take time to enjoy and live the little pleasures life offers us everyday.
Sorry for late reply...I forgot what I meant. Sorry ::looks sheepish::
