These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Septilla: "Starting a New Task or an Old Task in a New Way"

Preventing work from being stale,
we change up hours or things to do.
Thus, training hands to be made new,
we finish tasks the whole long tale.
A full day's shift we're made to work,
and be not slack, nor aught to shirk.
The lunch break helps us not to fail.

Each cleaning task I know so well,
but others need a learning curve
to make me fit from nothing swerve,
that when I'm done the best will tell.
I see the schedule in some days.
Will they require some new displays?
Will I learn rest as in it dwell?

I wonder will the cleaning shifts
be more in numbered thoroughness,
or will I need to others bless,
in other places show my gifts?
When Monday comes I'll know the cause
of hours change in workplace clause.
The heart will know the hope, that lifts.
