It should be a requirement that the first day back to work after a holiday only be 4 hours long, with no meetings or reports. Obviously this is just wishful thinking on my part.

Some lite fare for ya: With the Thanksgiving Holiday imminent, remember to be Thankful for what you have that is important; Friends and family, and not too complain about what you don't. (Theory of the Day will be on hiatus until Monday), enjoy !

Effective management is accomplished by communication and human interaction, not by emails, reports and Flow charts.

Ah,Monday- If they were going to give the work week an enema, They would stick the syringe in Monday to get all of the crap moving so you could spend the rest of the week cleaning out the drain of the brain.

There is a fine line between dedication and stupidity. Dedication is using your skills to pursue a goal and following it to where you wish it to go. Stupidity is blindly following someone else's goals because of their position in the social strata whether you believe in it or not.

There is an old saying"Time is Money"- Nah-Time is time and money is money, I don't subscribe to wasting either, but Money I can replace over time (Unplanned pun), no such luck with time. Once gone, it's irretrievable.

There is a big difference between life and an existance. Life is being an active participant of the events of the day. An Existance is being a spectator. The former is more difficult, yet more rewarding. The latter is safer, but with no reward.

There is a difference between being "in Charge" and being a leader. A leader does so by example and instilling confidence in his/her staff through his/her knowledge and deportment throughout the day. Not by the decibel level of or the length of their speech.

Having a conscience is a lot like having a fine piece of art hidden in your closet,or an exquisite sports car locked in your garage. What the hell good is it unless you take it out for the world to see every once in a while?

When Did "Helpless Syndrome" become socially acceptable? I swear if a certain individual asks me for help one more time while uttering the phrase "Well you know I can be an idiot", I'll beat him to death with his own hoof!

Employees are people and should not be characterized as assets and liabilities as we do inanimate objects. All should be afforded the basic everyday considerations and dignity. Respect however is earned and is a 2 way street.

It used to be decisions were made based on taking the available information, studying it to craft an educated response to an issue, Nowadays, the process is come up with a response that on the surface seems reasonable , but has no substance, so that if the decision is wrong, someone else is held accountable for any potential fallout.

Some Monday's are like shoveling out a hog pen. Once you shovel out all of the crap, you like down and find another layer of crap. A vicious cycle indeed.

It has been said that Some of us aspire to greatness, others have it thrust upon them, me when I walk out the front door in the morning I usually step in it and spend the rest of the day trying to scrape it off my shoe.

The only problem with taking a stand, is you spend the rest of your time defending and owning it.

"All Hands Meeting" So called because "Execs" running the meeting have sat on theirs so long as to turn a minor issue into a major disaster, then with a wave of said hand determine a method to "fix" the issue, usually at the employees expense.

Sometimes a day at work is like being locked in a room with a first grade class. You get asked strange and stupid questions, no one understands your answers. They pout and rant and rave if they don't get their way.They have to be told what to do and where to go. The difference,You expect it out of children...

Isn't it amazing that usually when a good idea comes out of a management meeting it is because the idea came from a subordinate but was presented in such a way that the manager could claim it as his own and take credit for it.
