The Office<br />

Hard work spotlights the character of people; some turn up<br />
their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn<br />
up at all!<br />
I always try to go the extra mile at work, but my boss always<br />
finds me and brings me back.<br />
The world is full of willing people -- some willing to work and<br />
some willing to let them. - Robert Frost<br />
Warning: Dates in Calendar are closer than they appear.<br />
I don't mind if you sleep in office. Only, please do not snore.<br />
You are disturbing others who are trying to sleep.<br />
- Dr. C. Rao, UW-Whitewater<br />
A morning without tea is like something without something<br />
else.<br />
Hard work never killed anyone, but why give it a chance?<br />
Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday.<br />
Two kinds of people: Those who finish what they start and...<br />
Work fascinates most, they can look at it for hours!<br />
If 'A' equals success, then the formula is A = X + Y + Z.<br />
X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut.<br />

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.<br />
If you're good you'll get assigned all the work. If you're<br />
REALLY good you will get out of it.*<br />
The Priest & The Mayor<br />
After 25 years in the same town, Father O' Shaunessey was<br />
saying his farewells at his retirement dinner. The mayor of the<br />
town had been asked to make a presentation and a short<br />
speech, but was late arriving. So the priest took it upon<br />
himself to fill the time, and stood up to the microphone:<br />
"I remember the first confession I heard here twenty-five<br />
years ago and it worried me as to what sort of place I'd come<br />
to... That first confession remains the worst I've ever heard.<br />
The chap confessed that he'd stolen a TV set from a<br />
neighbour and lied to the police when questioned, successfully<br />
blaming it on a local scallywag. He said that he'd stolen money<br />
from his parents and from his employer; that he'd had an affair<br />
with his best friends' wife; that he'd taken hard drugs, and had<br />
slept with a nun of this church and given her VD. You can<br />
imagine what I thought... However I'm pleased to say that as<br />
the days passed I soon realised that this sad fellow was a<br />
frightful exception and that this town was indeed a wonderful<br />
place full of kind and decent people..."<br />
At this point the Mayor arrived and apologized for being late,<br />
and keen to take the stage, he immediately stepped up to the<br />
microphone and pulled his speech from his pocket:<br />
"I'll always remember when Father O' Shaunessey first came<br />
to our town," said the Mayor, "In fact, I'm pretty certain that I<br />
was the first person that he heard in confession.."<br />
“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble<br />
bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell<br />
the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the<br />
fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.”
