Today was our Christmas lunch and gift to my work team, accompanied by the poem below. The technical jargon makes this a confusing read, but that's all right... this one's mainly for my own memories.
Twas two days before Christmas, we all met to dine
And wrap up a festive 2009.
The health rates are filing, illustrations due,
Life and Health materials getting review.
Not far from our desks there can be such a clatter
And cause us to ask “Hey Rusty, what’s the matter?”
“The WPD filings are all way behind!
We sure could use Tina to get them in line.”
“Go down one more person? Cut costs to the bone?
Can’t Betty do RRIF notices all alone?”
“Commercial group pricing is way out of date!
Let’s get Tyson on it before it’s too late!”
While Joe keeps the holiday spirit alive:
“How about some job aids and less w: drive?”
What three better people could make me so blessed?
So kind, smart and funny, who strive for the best.
You deserve a break from the grind for a while,
An hour away to be treated with style.
Forget about rate books, BRT and tax,
Lie on a massage table and simply relax!
The service is paid for, the tip is too,
There’s health benefits up the wazoo!
You’ve spent the whole year taking care of the team
Occasionally suppressing a scream,
So now that it’s time to return the favor,
Just smile and enjoy it… you’ve been a life saver!
Thanks so much you guys for all that you’ve done,
The work and the laughs, the stress and the fun,
No doubt you would rather get some nice big raise,
For now just a wish of happy holidays!
Joe
