Today was hectic..or so do I feel..
But love for the work..gets back my zeal!
Wrapping up for the day as I look around..
Pull away my attention does, a constant mouse-click's sound..
Glancing in the direction, from where the sound came..
Saw a pale shadow leaning in the official tame!!
Advance did I further to checkout the same..
And lo behold was the manager slogging this late..
You read it right... Stereotypes are to blame!!
With a sunken heart as I glanced at my watch..
It was about eight..with 15 mins to notch!!
Quietly I left and cheekily sauntered out..
Oh how low did I feel...for I badly wanted to shout!!
Made me feel guilty that he's working late..
At times I do wonder..
If they really have...so much on the plate??
Chewing through the thought as I, walked home sometime..
And there he was again, on the JABBER "online"!!
Look up did I, sadly at the clock..
Popped out, my eyes, reeling with a shock!!
It was about ten this time..
It was when I heard the clock chime!!
Crash into the bed did I and tried to be cozy..
My eyes won't shut, my dreams won't come..
For they wanted to be nosy!!
Drooping eyelids stared at the screen..
A moment's nap and back to the scene!!
Curious mind of mine, pinged him to convey..
Nothing on the work front..just to test "Hey!!"
Got a reply instant which left me in dismay..
He was really working!!
The status didn't lead astray!!
Three in the morning..and I finally rest my case..
I start doubting my velocity for I can't match his pace!!
And there he is on time, for the daily stand-up..
With ace up his sleeve and everything all planned up!!!
Amazed at it I am....and shattered and perplexed!!
For it only serves me...
A bucket full of complex!!!
But love for the work..gets back my zeal!
