2013 - Moments

 

   I rushed into my 8x12 cubicle from outside.  Out there, shades of dull grey covered entire landscape from sky to ground as falling snow mingled with leftovers.  I tuned to the year-end townhall webcasting, while shedding away my super puffy down jacket.  On screen, our CEO was on display in his usual expensive suit, tie and glasses.   In a sequence of his selfies, his eyes glittered as bright as a tropical sun, just like the one gave the perfect shade of tan on his face.   His smile was unarming as the words flowed smoothly.  The speech was cunningly structured in translating his year-end bonus to corporate accomplishments.  Apparently, it is trendy to use the word: moment.  Our moment this …; Seize moment that…

   His voice along with halfhearted claps faded into the humming of my computer mixed with distant murmur phone conversations, as I considered what moments in 2013 really mattered to me:

The CEO was still dragging on with 2014 corporate moments.  Mine for upcoming years had become crystal clear….  

Thanks for looking
