Hello,

It's my favourite everyday poem, which I read every time when I am overworked. It makes me smile and feel better.I hope you like it!Wink

 I love My job! (by Dr.Seuss)

  • I love my job, I love the pay!
  • I love it more and more each day.
  • I love my boss, he is the best!
  • I love his boss and all the rest. 

  • I love my office and its location, I hate to have to go on vacation.
  • I love my furniture, drab and grey, and piles of paper that grow each day.
  • I think my job is really swell, there’s nothing else I love so well.
  • I love to work among my peers, I love their leers, and jeers, and sneers
  • I love my computer and its software;I hug it often though it won’t care.
  • I love each program and every file
  • I’d love them more if they worked a while. 

  • I’m happy to be here.I am. I am.
  • I’m the happiest slave of the Firm,I am.
  • I love this work,I love these chores.
  • I love the meetings with deadly bores.
  • I love my job- I’ll say it again- I even love those friendly men.
  • Those friendly men who’ve come today,
  • In clean white coats to take me away!!!!!!

Really swell!!! Haha))
No, really, what a terrible thing is a boring job!

I dunno why but i remembered well one of the Kipling's poems i learned many years ago. And especially 2 stanzas of it:

<...>If you can dream and not make dreams your master,
If you can think and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same…

<...>If you can feel the unforgiving Minute
With 60 seconds worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And then – you'll be a Man, my son.
