I took the owl by the neck – big turnaround.
Told Jade her plunging assets where no longer
An acid burnout, that we’d have to chow down,
Divide the monkey from the man – then hang
The hair out to dry. Split some logs on Sunday,
Take aunt Bessie to the cleaners, buff her muffins
Then wait till Mungday.
She agreed.
Speaking to my business partner.
very enjoyable camus - a corporate restructure - LOL ( quite frankly im so sick of them - in reality )
Like the way you bought in all the "animal elements" - a menagerie ? - adding to the confusion of business practice - there is a sense of this and a much needed relief when it does happen - last line is a clincher !

This was a giggle. I can only imagine what your colleagues look like! But it does capture the confusion of work well.
I liked the idea of dividing the monkey from the man. We seem to forget all too often that we were all monkeys once and i think that contributes tpo the bedlam that is working life. Enjoyable read. Ta!

"buff her muffins" is classic. Is that the same as "polishing a turd"?
There's a senior manager here who continually refers to having a "monkey on his back" i.e. an unwelcome responsibility. However, he manages to unload most of his monkeys onto other people.

This london based web hosting company got in touch with me, trying to sell me hosting, and the guy actually said "I've got a window open next Tuesday"
Fuck off, and jump out of it!

Here's me arriving late again - always the day after the fair - but I must quickly say I enjoyed this. Are these all business phrases? Blimey, I must be doing something wrong.
Sounds to me more like some sort of jazz argot - James Joyce sharing a spliff (a big one) with Charles Mingus. Good stuff anyway.
Hang cool, man. Catch you later.

P.S. Just stumbled, in a legal downloading sort of way, into one of your faves - Richard Hawley, Coles Corner. Wonderful.

Welcome David, I'm often a late comer myself.
And no they are not business phrases, I looked on the net for business phrases but couldn't find any, or I didn't look for long enough, so I made a few up.
Enjoy Coles Corner - all legally of course - cough cough.
cheers
Kris
