My day job has nothing to do with poetry. I do computer work at an institute of about 600 people.

For Christmas this past year, I wrote new words to "The Wassail Song" , featuring references to charge numbers, auditors, and reorganizations. A small group of us sang it at the office holiday party, and as we carolled through the halls.

Today, at the quarterly All Hands' Meeting, the director (who was delighted by the piece, and even sang it with us once) included my complete text, 3 verses plus refrain, as part of his PowerPoint presentation to the staff. He credited me with the text, and jokingly declared that I had earned the first ever "morale award".

So now, I am "famous" among my coworkers, and have earned good juju with the director to boot. I am delighted and amused, and thought I'd brag here.
