If you've ever felt the weight of a Monday morning, the soul-crushing nature of a meeting that could have been an email, or the strange prison of remote work, this book is for you.
These 100 haikus capture the absurdity, frustration, and strange humor of office life. They're not about loving work - they're about surviving it. About finding dark comedy in the mundane. About being human in a system that sometimes forgets we are.
From the panic of deadlines to the relief of Friday afternoons, from Zoom fatigue to the existential dread of Monday mornings - these poems are a mirror held up to the modern office worker's soul.
Organized into five sections:
- Monday Mornings - The slow torture of the week's beginning
- Meetings - The absurdity of conference calls and wasted time
- Remote Work - Working from your bedroom, living at your desk
- Deadlines - The panic, the procrastination, the collapse
- Friday - Relief, freedom, and temporary escape
Perfect for:
- Office workers who need to feel less alone
- Secret Santa and coworker gifts
- Anyone who's ever stared at a spreadsheet and questioned their life choices
- People who hate meeting culture
- Remote workers wondering if they've forgotten how to leave home
- Managers looking for something thoughtful for their team
- Anyone who's worked a job that sometimes felt pointless
- Finally, a poetry book that gets it. - Every office worker ever
A quick, funny, painfully relatable read. If these things feel true, this book is for you.
