Office Zeitgeist

As part of my position at work, I'm responsible for keeping my finger on the pulse of the office. I keep an eye on morale and try to address problems before they get out of hand. Ever since someone brought in a box of magnetic poetry for the break room fridge, this job has become easier.

This morning as I was toasting my bagel, I stopped to read some of the sentences people had created with the words. Here's what my co-workers are thinking today:

• My best cubicle strategy is a non work lunch.
• We want to retire and how.
• Market crash caused my career plans to change.
• Embrace overseas office.
