If you love those motivational posters or mugs....
This is not the site for you.

One of my fave's is below...

I have a calendar at my desk and someone at work did not get it. They did one of those, that is not funny laughs. I have a lot of weird things on my desk beside the calendar (dice for making decisions, estimating wheel, etc). I think the fact that they had to point it out, made me think for a split second I should take it down. I do have it some what out of sight, you have to be right behind me to see it.. OK, it was my new boss and yes they have one of the motivational things on there desk.

Oh Alice you are talking my language now! This is some good a$$ stuff! You have a great sense of humor. Now, excuse me while I go and hunt for one to put at my desk too....this should be fun!

I love that site! One of my faves is the one (paraphrasing here) "perhaps the purpose of your life is to serve as a warning to others." :o

Hilarious~ I was just looking at posters for my classroom and I totally came across this one. No, I didn't use it. Maybe I'll use this one! :roll:

I've looked close and struggle to decide which of these I believe in more:confused:

Demotivation
Sometimes the best solution to morale problems is just to fire all of the unhappy people.
Failure
When your best just isn't good enough.
Idiocy
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
Inspiration
Genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99% perspiration, which is why engineers sometimes smell really bad.
Losing
If at first you don't succeed, failure may be your style.
Nepotism
We promote family values here - almost as often as we promote family members.

Alice, I can relate to the PC stuff. Makes me wonder if there are better battles our supervisors should be fighting.

I guess you better take home you "Pin the tail on the boss ... err ... Donkey" game.
