# The first 90% of project takes 90% of the time, the last 10% takes the other 90% of the time.

# If you can't get your work done in the first 24 hours, work nights.

# A pat on the back is only a few inches from a kick in the butt.

# Don't be irreplaceable, if you can't be replaced, you can't be
promoted.

# It doesn't matter what you do, it only matters what you say you've done and what you're going to do.

# After any salary raise, you will have less money at the end of the month than you did before.

# The more crap you put up with, the more crap you are going to get.

# You can go anywhere you want if you look serious and carry a clipboard.

# Eat one live toad the first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.

# When the bosses talk about improving productivity, they are never talking about themselves.

# If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit. No use being stubborn.

# There will always be beer cans rolling on the floor of your car when the boss asks for a ride home from the office.

# Keep your boss's boss off your boss's back.

# Arriving to work early sets an expectation that your less ambitious co-workers will not appreciate.

# Everything can be filed under "miscellaneous."

# Never delay the ending of a meeting or the beginning of a cocktail hour.

# To err is human, to forgive is not a part of company policy.

# Anyone can do any amount of work provided it isn't the work he/she is supposed to be doing.

# Important letters that contain no errors will develop errors in the mail.

# If you are good, you will be assigned all the work. If you are really good, you will get out of it.

# You are always doing something frivolous when the boss drops by your desk.

# The people chosen to go to conferences are always the party animals with no intention of learning a thing.

# If it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would ever get done.

# At work, the authority of a person is inversely proportional to the number of pens that person is carrying.

# When you don't know what to do, walk fast and look worried.

# Following the rules will not get the job done.

# Getting the job done is no excuse for not following the rules.

# When confronted by a difficult problem, you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question, "How would the Lone Ranger handle this?"

# No matter how much you do, you never do enough, let alone too much.

# The last person that quit or was fired will be blamed for everything that goes wrong.

# If you want to advance upwards in the company hierchy, there are two simple rules to observe : 1) Never share everything you know.

Duh! Didn't you get that? He's not sharing everything he knows!

It's like: there are 10 types of people, those who understand binary and those who don't.

*comes in and straightens the pictures and passes a finger over the shelves to check for dust*

Hmmmm, yes I did read your post on the other thread lady. All perfectly true. One of the sales staff walked in my office and found me with a banana skin over my head.

Ahhhhhhh 'work', I remember it so fondly - the gentile back-stabbing that went on, and when that cute blonde's husband called on the telephone and I said 'Sorry, Leslie is all tied up' and she was - under the table hemmed in by a wall of filing cabinets because we had an inter-office 'war' going on! grin

And when the Colonel in charge of my section (in a computer centre) and we were in the middle of an elastic band fight and he picked up an elastic band, and looked up and saw 30 elastic bands aimed at him, put it down, gently, and said

'Well, carry on!'

and he walked out bravely without a trace of fear apart from a little twitch in his neck..........ahhh!

work! I remember it well.......

Ah, I don't like stabbing people in the back. I always want people to know from which side I'm coming from (and usually I stab from all sides).
