Procrastination and respect
Is your work outstanding, or is it outstanding?
By Fahim Firfiray
Muscat, January 2016
When you open your emails
Are you relaxed and calm?
Or does your inbox
Cause you daily alarm?
Are there emails in there
That needed urgent review
But day after day
They just stay as TO DO?
Are people waiting for you
Sad and confused,
Feeling ignored,
Upset and abused?
You try to forget them at lunch
With your Big Mac and fries
But are there dozens of people
Still awaiting replies?
Do you sit on that job
Without a care,
Driving colleagues and customers
Into despair?
If someone gives you a task
That needs urgent attention
Will they get it back…
When they are drawing a pension?
You know that you are
A critical link in the chain
But still they keep calling
Again and again?
All these people,
How do they feel about you?
Think about it,
Be honest, be true.
Are you for them
A wonderful blessing,
Or is waiting for you
Utterly depressing!
Let’s switch lines for a positive ending…..
Is waiting for you
Utterly depressing,
Or are you for them
A wonderful blessing?
