Updates every Monday

Dear Milo,
I just graduated from university last spring and landed a full-time position in my field of study. I was excited to enter the workforce and start making a decent income finally after all the years I spent in school.
Well, it has only been about six months and I already hate my job. I dislike having to get up and rush to work every morning. The sound of my mobile’s alarm clock makes me nauseous, and morning and evening traffic are a nightmare. My supervisor is driven entirely by profit, so he keeps finding excuses to keep me in my initial probationary period and delay the pay rise I was promised.
I don’t know if it would be better if I moved out of the city to a smaller town and found a different job at another company. I work only for the week-end, I dread Mondays, and am miserable most of the time.
Am I the only one that feels this way? I don’t really have a specific poem request, but I like your sense of humour and would love to see what you could make of this situation.

Dear Drone,
I totally agree with you. Working sucks. Find something you love to do and pour your energy into that. I like writing custom poems for people. What's your quirky passion?

Monday is aggravating.
Tuesday's excruciating,
and Wednesday is totally trash.
Thursday is miserable.
Friday's derisible.
The weekend slips by in a flash.
Your task load is tedious.
Your boss is the greediest
Bastard who ever sucked wind.
Your colleagues are jagoffs
But when you snarl, "Slag off! "
They prove to be very thin-skinned.
You're permanently peevish.
You basically believe-ish
your job is the worst one on Earth.
The hands of the time clocks
Move slower than road blocks.
And you're paid far less than you're worth.
I know how you feel.
Every day's an ordeal,
And you struggle to somehow survive.
Good news! You'll get through it!
And you only have to do it
All your life, until you reach sixty-five.
