Ode to ER

Release me from the shackles of my weeklong prison

Wing my flight into the celestial realms of relaxation and comfort

Ebb the tide of my strain and discomfort

Wash away the weariness and turmoil

Make hasten the refreshing spring of reunion with my beloved

let soar the joyous song of exhiliration and praise

Nestle me in the bosom of comfort,

And if thou canst not, at least let me ride the winds of change.

Change from a struggle day in, and day out

Until at last, the pattern has come full circle,

and I must needs return to the toil of my labours

But until then, O sweet release, come early,

And send me home from this weeklong commission

For of a certainty, it is friday,

And the longing for home is upon me

ER is the Early release system at work that allows us to leave work early. Apparently, my ER button's broke, because there are no calls coming in, and I haven't received my e-mail yet. =p
