“You start on
Monday”
The voice said a
week later
It was the New Year
She was so
nervous
Walking into the
office
With the other
staff
“I’ll get Mister
Jones”
The receptionist
then said
So she sat to
wait
A tall man walked
up
“Hello Jill,
welcome aboard
Mine name is
Matthew”
But then he added
“But everyone
calls me Matt”
And then smiled
at her
Talking all the
time
Pointing out the
departments
“Don’t worry
you’ll learn”
“Here we are;
your desk
I’ll go through
the procedure
With you for this
week”
As they sat she
thought
“I’m going to
like it here”
Looking in his
eyes

I'm guessing this is someone you know! Good she has a wonderful first impression.
ReplyDeleteI think it is really important to make a new employee feel comfortable in their new work environment. In a way I feel really jealous of this girl in this poem because I've never had such luck at getting a job. Literally have applied to places a billion times, but never received an interview. Probably the reason I have become a writer because then you are your own boss.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was younger, I thought a pair of nice eyes dressed the workplace up a bit and made the day more interesting. Now I find it a hopeless distraction. Damn hormones,
ReplyDeleteYOU are an old egg... your romance is well reminiscence of a def time gone by...with equality of gender expression.
ReplyDelete...and you do express it (your age) well though
