I hate them,Butterflies


That one elusive interview call comes when you least expect it,
“Hi this is the HR head from RC&M, come with your entire portfolio and kit”,

Because PUNCTUALITY is a sin I often indulge in, I reach much earlier than required,
Left with two torturous floors to be climbed after a suitable parking space has been acquired.

Why did you leave your previous organization they ask?
Simply because Even PRETENDING to work out there was becoming a task,

Those butterflies return every time I answer my phone,
Couldn’t really hear the HR Head above the generators constant drone

You have got the job he says with a smile in his voice,
The epitome of indecisiveness I am left to make a very hard choice


A new day, a new company, much nicer people,
The new business card, the laptop and all to myself an entire cubicle.

Shunting from department to department, I sprint through my induction,
The HR head acquaints me with a glorified almost unbelievable introduction.

With all the “Hi’s” and “Hello’s”, “Nice to meet you they say”!
Start with UNLEARING first, I am told is my first task for the FIRST DAY.
