Summer Time

Hello, Timely Friends!

Sunny doth beat down upon our poor heads,

Melting our skin into droplets of dew,

Even in shadow, sprawled out on our beds, 

We suffer and sweat and breathe out a "phew!"

Clocky & Watchy in Burning Time

Burning Man, 
the art community and festival 
attended by thousands 
that pops up for a week every year 
in the barren flats of northern Nevada, 
culminates with the burning of The Man 
on the Saturday before Labor Day.

This is my documentary about why certain people should never attempt to attend:

Shadow Time

We all survived the eclipse, 

(those who haven't gone blind),

(Or for those whom an ellipse),

(Is all you see in your mind...).

Shadow Geoff

Space Time

Balancing Time

All Time is not created equal, 

So it's up to us to make darn sure, 

That each second should have a sequel,

Allowing our timing to endure.

Equilibrium Geoff

Clocky & Watchy in Photo Time

BiWeekly Folks, both Great and Slight,

Should mark their time e'er day 'comes night.

Clocky lets his big old eyes,

Go 'round their orbs most Clocky-wise.

Watchy failed to mark the trick,

Thinking best: a selfie stick.

Watchful Geoff

Clocky & Friends

There are many times when a reminder or a bulletin must be distributed throughout your work environment.

If the message is important then it may be marked urgent, but there's no guarantee that it will be read.

No one likes to take their medicine, you see.

However, if you sweeten it ever so slightly with a dash of whimsy then you can get noticed and complied with as much as you need!

Let the Cubicle 'Minders help you with all your work-related messages.

New friends being added all the time! Let us help!

Write to us at: geoffreyme@gmail.com

Include "Clocky & Friends, Help!" in the subject line and we'll know you're ready to go!

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.”

Clocky & Watchy in Gaucho Time!

BiWeekly Timecards covering the twelth to the twenty-fifth are due,

And once you approve them, then we’ll sign off—it’s the least that we can do.

Gaucho Time!

What did it take to make us Gaucho?

How did we earn such a unique name?

“You Bet Your Life,” hosted by Groucho,

Couldn’t even guess our Hollywood fame!

(And before you think we are just mascot one-and-done-rs, our previous incarnation was as the Roadrunners!)

Train Time!

Salutations, BiWeekly Relations!

This is for the playful pay period between:

two/twenty-six to three/eleven/‘seventeen.

Clocky and Watchy were very pleased with the feedback they received last time and so to show their appreciation they sent me the following note and pic from their travels (destinations unknown)!

“Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”

Clocky & Watchy in Drive Time!

As February ends, and Monthly Timecards are ripe,

And struggles beset us at home and abroad,

Try to hold fast to the heroic archetype,

That supports and empowers, and by which we are awed.

That champion is within us, so let it come forth,

Express it with patience, compassion and glee,

Sing songs as you drive along the 101-North,

Increasing our joy helps them, us and we. 

Sing-A-Long Geoff

Daydreamin' Time

 Avast ye, thou waterlogged and damp-hatted BiWeekly landlubbers!

Our vast roiling seas have abated, and the clean-up has begun,

But do take a moment to set aside your push-brooms and hand-scrubbers,

And enjoy daydreams of enduring sunshine and outdoors-y fun!

Please note: If you like these timecard reminders—well…Clocky and Watchy would simply love to hear back,

I’ll gladly relay your appreciations to them (my contact info’s below),

They are very hard-working toons and—you know, not to brag—but I kind of do have the inside track.

[Two-twelve through two-twenty-five is our focus this round—as you may very well know.]

Cubicle Geoff

[I added a few new recipients to the email list and sent this along by way of explanation:]

Subject: In case you're wondering about "Daydreamin' Time"

I try to make timecard reminders slightly less dull by adding cartoons and the odd verse,

If you’d prefer not to receive them--just say so and I’ll refrain from further mailings,

You may find that you’re not the only one in your office to get them, for better or worse,

I just like to spread enjoyment (I suppose you could say it’s one of my failings).

Joy-bringer Geoff

Shower Time!

Sweet Greetings to thee, thou loyal BiWeekly Peeps!

The Great Pink Bunny is here! And he never sleeps!

But answers your questions and quandaries, then wishes you well,

Whether your queries be personal or instead personnel.

The pay period of one/twenty-nine to two/eleven/’seventeen,

Nears its summit which means our Timecard Caucus must now, perforce, reconvene!

Rainy Valentine-y Geoff aka The Great Pink Bunny

Candy Time!

Hello, Exempt Staff!

That means you monthly-paid career types, dontcha know?

It’s time to approve your timecards for the month of January.

I suggest shoring up your energy with some sugar and reciting this little poem:

Candy, Candy, Office Fuel,

Sweetens up the Labor Pool.

Have some now or have some later,

It’s our workplace activator!
