what is on your face?

Apolo Ohno
do you have a soul patch to
prove you have facial hair?

Why I Shouldn't Try to Check Voicemail When I Wake Up At 2:55 a.m.

Whoops, hardly know you--
Clumsy fingers slipped and called
Really, you're asleep?

Vacation Day

should have worked harder
I'm at home at 1 a.m.,
working to finish.

Meditations on the KXAN Station Fire that Resulted in Signal Interruption

Numb, maybe in shock?
Or do I really not care?
Missed the ladies' skates.

Thank You

Thank you, Haiku blog
Now I find myself, all day,
counting syllables.

Vacation Eve

I should be thinking:
"What all do I need to do?
Not - "When can I leave?"

Intern Face

first lesson today
i hope he knows better than
to give me that look

Don't Tell Sam

Appropriate to
get into a facebook fight
with your mother-in-law?

Justified or not
no need to post about my son's
rare bouts of bad acts

may be a mother's
hypocrisy, but Henry's
my update fodder

Periodic Performance Feeback

Kudos to Buster -
he Exceeds Expectations.
The rest: Does Not Meet.

Leaves

Covering my "yard"
Kind of pretty to look at
But they're disgusting

Letter to Fleetwod Mac

I apologize
I did not appreciate
You rock my face off

Ski Jumping

Flying through the air
just like I do on the Wii
- except I'm better

I feel like my dad

"It may snow!"

Enough already

And the internet

Pity

Eating pie alone
Makes me very very sad
Go home to your cats

Joke

Between a dog and a fox?
About eight beers. ZING!

Can't think of life without it

Eight Ladies

Standing by my door
Talking about kids and dogs
Please kill yourselves now

Turtleneck. Day two.
Visible gauze on his neck.
"Nothing. Just a cut."

Recruiting season
Time to find the bright young things
Can I convince them?

Cubicle Haiku Archive

Katie sent me an email of when Julie found an archive of the old geocities website. I have posted all the retrieved haiku at a new blog www.cubiclehaiku2000.blogspot.com. 

I also added a link to the upper right hand corner of this page. 

Enjoy.

Nothing compared to
Step-dad calling C.S.I.

Brown Rice

Oh why, brown rice, why?
Rinsing, cooking takes so long
You should be cheaper.

Inaugural Non-Test Post

So Cubicle Haiku was started by a group of disaffected 20-somethings back in 1998 or so when we all sat at cubicles doing different jobs in different parts of the country. We didn't have blogs back then so people just emailed their haiku and I compiled them. And then I *published* them to the *web* using a program I had to learn in graduate school called *Microsoft Front Page* and I published all the haiku to a *geocities* website where they were infrequently updated. Ah, the good old days.

I have since lost any access to this geocities website and it is a tragic loss.

So now we are almost all 30-something and some of us close to 40, and you may or may not still sit in a cubicle but fan the fire of your creative disgust for work (or looking for work) and compose some haiku. Or just waste time by composing haiku about anything else.

And now (thanks to blogs -- RIP geocities) you can do the updating yourself.

The Original Slogan
Cubicle haiku
Creativity run amok
on the man's time

Inaugural Haiku
It's been a long time.
Blame work for sidetracking us.
Revenge begins now.
