eyes wide open

I have started my new job.
I have a desk! And a computer,
telephone, hole punch and stapler.
You see - I want for nothing.


Tomorrow I will take in
my own post-it dispenser -
it's a bit flash but I love it.
I'm at the stage where I know nothing
so a friendly post-it dispenser
will cheer me up when I make mistakes.


It's a bit early to chat
about the job here,
so many people to meet,
so much to learn.
I hope you understand.


Let's talk London for a while
until I get my feet under that desk.
I love my walk to work:
across the Thames, down Whitehall,
under Admiralty Arch.
I use these steps every morning
and they are impressive,
rain or shine.

  10. oooh nothing like stationery to feel at home. I am the envy of the office with my new stapler (it has a storage compartment in the bottom for a spare strip of staples!)
