New Year at Work

A cup of coffee     or tea per taste;
Chat with the usuals;     should have checked
important Windows     updates first,
and got that rolling     towards the reboot
that's as inevitable     as year's end and the new
while we're busy     not quite yet working--
but oh well... Outlook     sure starts slow as all hell.

Nut!

My boon companion!     Catcher of bugs
and detachable     lizard tails too;
affectionate napper     at family feet,
and back-yard sentry;     we salute you!
