Thought for the day (and pardon the foul language)

[The Avon Lady]

I usually don't post such language (just imagine what I'd do to your posts had I been a moderator ) but I can't keep this to myself:

This just hit my inbox:

This is a strictly mathematical viewpoint...it goes like this:

What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:

H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%



and


K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E


11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But,

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

And,

B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20

= 103%

AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.

A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that while Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the Bullsh*t and Ass Kissing that will put you over the top.

T'is better to give than to receive.

So true. So very true.

I'd prefer SHIV with all the bell's and whistles....

No comment.

Are found it.

AL, that is so funny (and yet so true) that I'm going to print it. It pretty much sums up my experience with management types over the years too (those who'd gotten there through hardwork alone didn't seem to get there as quickly as those who kissed @ss or bulls!tted their way in).

That's not a comment about management, btw, but anyone else here who has worked in a field where you deal with a lot of chiefs can relate when I say that you can tell pretty quickly which route each took to get where they're at.
