Wow! All those jobs going to be
replaced by a computer disguised as a woman or even worse as a
horrible robotic creature straight out of a sci fi movie.

When I spoke to Joan about it she was
not sorry at all at their demise. She had to do it once when she was
semi-retired.

She wrote, of course, a poem about it.
Like always I leave the last word to my wife.

THE RECEPTIONIST

By Joan Wilson

Reception work bores me to tears

There’s nothing to do really but sit
and stare,

No windows to look out to the beautiful
sea

Or over the roads where traffic flows
free.

*

Half hour for lunch is all I’m given

No time to eat is not my idea of
heaven,

But, alas, I’m only part-time you see

So I’m off and out when the clock
strikes three!
