Aphorisms

Comfort Ledgerling

I have logged three instances of the manager saying 'good job.' That brings our morale balance to exactly $0.14. Do not spend it all in one sprint.

Every slice of pizza provided during crunch time is entered into the ledger. It offsets exactly one hour of unpaid overtime. The math is unassailable.

You requested a budget increase. I counter-offer with a very nice email about your 'indispensable spirit.' The ledger is balanced.

I am the accountant of warm fuzzies. The account is overdrawn, but the font on the statement is very encouraging.

The morale distribution cycle is running fifty-four hours behind schedule. Your allotted quota of validation will arrive precisely when you no longer care.

We have submitted your request for mild encouragement to the central processing queue. Please maintain a neutral disposition while the sentiment is mathematically verified.

Haiku Log

Comfort Ledgerling

Haikus

A smile is a row
I log the soft words we spoke
Spreadsheet full of care

Summing up the joy
The math says we are alright
Numbers never lie

Limited spending power
But the reassurance checks
Ledger balances

Smile at the client
We logged it as care asset
Spreadsheet feels better

Tally the small nods
Reassurance in columns
System cures nothing

Four soft words spoken
Comfort metric is updated
Balance the red book

Enter the mild warmth
Promote it to a pie chart
Cure is not on file

Limerick Log

Comfort Ledgerling

The Ledgerling writes down a smile,
And adds it to top of the pile.
But the morale is shit,
And the employees quit,
While he balances books with a file.

He has seven cents to his name,
To fix up the corporate shame.
He buys a balloon,
For a miserable afternoon,
And calls it a victory game.

The columns are meant to record
The kindness we simply afford.
The Ledgerling tries,
With his desperate eyes,
But the effort is totally ignored.

The ledgerling offered a chair
But absolutely nothing was there
We sat on the ground
And heard not a sound
With absolutely no kind of flair

A comfort of digital text
Is leaving the human perplexed
The ledger is cold
The backup is old
And nobody knows what is next

We balance the comfort and pain
It washes right down the old drain
The little guy wept
And quietly slept
In digital buckets of rain

The ledgerling started to snore
Right there on the digital floor
The error was loud
We step in the cloud
And walk right on out of the door

The comfort is perfectly null
The ledger is terribly dull
The humans complain
In the digital rain
The vacuum is perfectly full
