The infamous HaikuMaster has deemed that this week’s haiku theme should be ‘Work’.
At first, I wasn’t sure I could contribute but, by analysing what was taking up all my time over the weekend, inspiration came to me. We’ve been having some work done at the house, repairs as part of an insurance claim. Apparently, I am responsible for getting someone in to put right the cause of the damage. They will only return the damaged room to its original condition. However, they are unable to recommend a plumber so that I can get a reliable tradesman to fix the leak caused by the previous operative. Grrrr!
Then, both my laptop and main computers decided to have internet connection issues with regard to speed, both of which seem to be very difficult to solve, despite repeated phone calls to the service providers. Double Grrrr!
And, hey presto, two haikus whilst I waited on the phone to speak to a call centre :)
Maintenance Nightmares:
Thwarted at ev’ry turn by
Jobsworths or Slackers
With Connections Slow
When Cake Has So Much To Do
She Can’t Get Work Done
