Clocky & Watchy in Laughing Matters

Yes, the workplace is (obviously) the place where work gets done, 
but productivity and attitude are improved by fun.

Happy Geoff

Clocky and Watchy Unbound & Underground!

Official Sanction Removed! Revolutionary Status Secured!

“Unprofessional, inappropriate, triggering and dark,”

Those were the words bandied by naysayers galore,

“Cease and desist!” decreed the mighty hierarch!

Instead I’ll unfetter my players like a true troubadour! 

So if you want to subvert the Man and not just be a sightseer,

Throw in with us rebels and find Clocky and Watchy here!

Clocky and Watchy present "NOT Sleepy Time!"

Exempt Timecards for the month of May are now due.

But first some news I’d like to share with all of you…

Driving a long way, and driving home late,

Geoffrey got into an over-sleepy state,

He made a gentle turn entirely too wide,

Until with a guardrail post his car did collide.

His injuries? Minor—but his chariot? Wrecked!

As the shock wore off full amazement took effect,

He was sore, sure, and achy, but alive and quite well,

And is grateful he survived with a story to tell.

Flabbergasted Geoff

Clocky & Watchy in Rally Time!

Welcome BiWeekly Delegates of 5/7 to 5/20/17!

The time is now, and the goal is right!

Both city mouse and suburbanite

Should report their hours and from thence get paid!

‘Tis a fair and lofty fund crusade!

So, grab your wits and wield them true,

The cause you champion is none but You!

No need to wait or dilly-dally,

Come join us in our Timecard Rally!

Emissary Geoff

Missing Time!

Go Time!

Waiting Time!

The wait is now over, your reminder is here!

(And the author’s pic* is, I daresay, most sincere),

The rhymes are all versed, and the cartoon’s been drawn,

Only one thing is left to follow up on:

All you fine folk must do your timecards—and soon,

By Monday at three (that’s three hours past noon),

With nearly two-hundred that we must complete,

We need ample time to accomplish this feat!

So please rally all of your teams with a grand ballyhoo!

[For BiWeekly staff, from Four/Nine to /Twenty-Two!] 

Now-Here’s Geoff

Clocky & Watchy in Big (Ben) Time!

Hallo, good maidens and sirrahs, I trust thou art all goodly well!

This fortnight’s* close doth find our friends in merry, olden London town,

The tower there, four-faced and spired, contains a secret, hidden bell,

This chime, Big Ben, it has been dubbed, ‘tis that true gong of much renown.

The clocks themselves and tower too get lumped beneath that sobriquet,

But that’s a fact of fame, forsooth, to be defined by nearby traits,

And I, myself, am oft confused with those that I create and yet,

If that should be my legacy then I shall gladly thank the Fates.

World Time!

As March departs, the time grows near,

For Monthly staff to lend an ear,

For I shall spin a yarn of lore,

As such thou hast not heard before.

In Paris, France, “la ville lumière,”

(City of Lights), a spire stands there.

Its roots run deep, its girders girth-y,

A clockwork world, who goes by “Earthy.”
