The fact that at the end of the week one has managed to stay above ground and breathe unaided means I have had a good week. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

I find it endlessly amusing that some people think they have been given the "Keys to the Kingdom" but actually are only head inmate in the asylum.

Theory of the Day;January 27, 2010: If you are going to stand there and say thank you to someone, a couple things to keep in your pygmy like mind:
a) Actually see if you can remember to say the name of the person you are thanking (you only work with them for Chris-sake) b) Try and sound like you mean it, not like you are ordering a coke at a hot dog stand. It's not that difficult, honestly.

There is a big difference between Confidence and Arrogance. Confidence is not only having the self assurance of your ability to perform, but being able to prove it. Arrogance is the quintessential talking a big game without having one.

Ah- another Monday, Sometimes your day starts off (like mine today) being fed enough crap to fertilize a 100 acre farm.

FYI- Class is not something you have based upon the car you drive, people you know, the house you own or the vacations you take. Class is not a thing at all, it is the ability to understand everyone's equality, and treating others with dignity and respect. People with class don't feel the need to prove it,but by their approach to life and dealing with others it just shows naturally.

If someone seems to make it a consistent theme to tell you the following " Let's Assume I'm an Idiot" Then why should it come as any surprise to anyone when they behave like one. (We call this a pointed reference)

Some People exude confidence, others well lets just say that whatever it is that they ooze belongs in a landfill. (Hmm, not too subtle today is it!)

Beware of people who spend 1/2 the Day telling you they don't know how to do your job, and then spend the other half of the day telling you how to do it!

They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, actually- what is more dangerous is having no knowledge but pretending you do. That is more than dangerous, it is indeed a recipe for disaster.

There is a fine line between anticipation and dread. Anticipation is when you look forward to a coming event, dread is when you know it is on its way.

A few words about office reports, Their purpose is to give you a snapshot of basic needed information, not to have every color in the rainbow and read like a novel!

Open door management meetings can be considered where ideas are hatched, conversely, too many closed door meetings usually cause us to refer to these as places "Plots are hatched"

They say a mind is a terrible thing to waste, only partially true: After hearing some of what emanates from some peoples mind, I am convinced it is waste, and should be disposed of in the same fashion!

The Longer you take to discuss how you plan to get something accomplished, the less chance you have of getting it to happen.

Sometimes it takes a bit of a jaundiced eye and a hint of sarcasm to strip away the layers of pretty packaging and find out what is truly inside.
