Random Musings - Day #359

Merry Christmas...
Just post some thoughts from a friend...

Top 10 reasons why you might be burnt out

  1. "They told me at the blood bank this might happen."

  2. "This is just a 15 minute power nap like they raved about in that time management course you sent me to."

  3. "Whew! Guess I left the top off the white out. You probably got here just in time."

  4. "I wasn't sleeping, I was meditating on the mission statement and envisioning a new paradigm."

  5. "I was testing my keyboard for drool resistance."

  6. "I was doing a highly specific Yoga exercise to relieve work-related stress. Do you discriminate against people who practice Yoga?"

  7. "Why did you interrupt me? I had almost figured out a solution to our biggest problem."

  8. "The coffee machine is broken."

  9. "Someone must have put decaf in the wrong pot."

  10. " ... in God's name, Amen."



Work Ethics

  • Rome did not create a great empire by having meetings, they did it by killing all those who opposed them.

  • If you can stay calm, while all around you is chaos...then you probably haven't completely understood the seriousness of the situation.

  • Doing a job RIGHT the first time gets the job done. Doing the job WRONG fourteen times gives you job security.

  • A person who smiles in the face of adversity...probably has a scapegoat.

  • Never put off until tomorrow what you can avoid altogether.

  • TEAMWORK...means never having to take all the blame yourself.

  • The beatings will continue until morale improves.

  • Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups.

  • We waste time, so you don't have to.

  • Hang in there, retirement is only thirty years away!

  • Go the extra mile. It makes your boss look like an incompetent slacker.

  • A snooze button is a poor substitute for no alarm clock at all.

  • When the going gets tough, the tough take a coffee break.

  • INDECISION is the key to FLEXIBILITY.

  • Aim Low, Reach Your Goals, Avoid Disappointment.
