ABC Wednesday, brought to you by the letter “J.” True story, but didn’t happen until this past Thursday… and then Lex had two days off, so we frolicked in the temperate Madison sunshine. After the tumult worldwide (and the homegrown union-busting in the US), I thought a little chuckle was in order. Amy
Just One Morning
Joe, the church secretary,
must journey to NYC to
justify his (jeez, I don’t know,
a dissertation or some such jazz)
Jolly ol’ me jumps in; Joe shows me the job.
Piece of cake – I’d jumped these hoops before
as a journey(wo)man administrative assistant
(or as we joked, Admin Ass).
Day of jamboree: paper jam,
juggling jangling phones,
jelly-side down sandwich
on the just-laid carpet.
Jupiter’s rings spin round my jugular
(nerves – blood racing, a Jaguar on the 1-90).
Then seasonal allergies
roll jujube junk out my nose
Jehovah is nonetheless pleased:
I jumped and jimmied
despite the jinx and goop –
but I didn’t invoke Jesus’ name once!

Not always easy to fill in someone else’s shoes. Enjoyed all the jovial words.

Christine, the man who does this job now replaced another consummate professional. I was dwarfed by one single day!!

Amy, nice job juggling all those Js. It did bring a smile to my face – thanks. I liked the ending, a nice closer. And those lines about the admin assistant – clever and funny.

That was actually the file name on one of my old job descriptions, back in the days when the file could contain no more than 8 characters. Ah, the joys of the old 286 and Word Perfect!! Thanks, A
