Pink Slip

Dear Temp Services Manager,


 


We would like to lodge a complaint


against your employee,


Boredom.


 


Hired, due to his


supposedly stellar skills


highlighted on your website.


 


Boredom is the impetus for


reviving long lost skills


 


He will create the space


for developing new talents


 


And be an engine for introspection


meditation and grace


 


The perfect antidote to worry, rush


and chaos


 


After many weeks in our employ,


he has shown himself to be dull, draining and full of despair.


 


And has, in fact, created a workplace culture of apathy and anger,


an atmosphere of staleness and stagnation.


 


The other employees have reported finding themselves


in a fog of fraying nerves, fading hope and lost marbles.


 


In conclusion, we believe you greatly exaggerated Boredom’s skills


and abilities and we request a full and immediate refund.


 


Also, please come fetch him because we cannot get him to leave.


 


Sincerely,


 


The World
