Procrastination and respect

Is your work outstanding, or is it outstanding?

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?
