I certainly know enough that whining about it and blaming others will get you nowhere.

You should seek treatment for your reading disability. I don't much give a rats ass what your problem is and I don't have one - I'm retired, remember? You're the guy who's determined to make an ass of yourself by posting inappropriate BS without actually knowing what you're "responding" to. Go back and read the thread again and maybe you'll see just what the hell I've been saying, vs. what you've been "quoting" out of context. Do us all a favor and go whack your head with a hammer or something. You'll have fun, no harm done, and we'll be rid of you.

How to Succeed?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you guys answer this question. and understand how upper management folks have such great pay and cushy jobs.

If:a 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%

However,

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 then conclude with mathematical certainty that While Hard Work and knowledge will get you close, and, Attitude will get you there, Bullshit and Ass kissing will put you over the top.

ROFLMAO! I'm printing that one for the Wall of Fame in my next cube...maybe not. I think that one will stay in a drawer.

LOL!!! Now that is how the real world works!

You shouldn't let me bother you so much. Have you had your blood pressure checked lately. You might consider doing that- you are waaayyyyyyyy too wound up.

120/72 And why should you make such an effort to bug me anyhow? I believe the word is troll. Or you really do have a reading impediment as well as some sort of societal dysfunction (which applies in either case).

Oh Yeah! Can't argue with any of that.

You should have told them to forward the remaining part of your subscroption to me.

Of course some people are offended by the idiots that live on their block.

Really, this isn't all that far off the mark when it comes to unions, is it? It's common knowledge they are pretty corrupt.

Dear Mr. Woolever, I didn't say I worked for the railroad. I don't. I work at a forge, designing dies. I did say I disliked market-speak. Market-speak is a dialect of Newspeak. Newspeak keeps you from saying anything, and eventually from thinking anything. I dislike Newspeak, but I don't dislike everything. I like steel. I like people who buy American tools and hardware, and keep my compadres running. Cordially yours, Gerard P.

```````` Call me dumb but I don't get the "joke". If it's some sort of reference to organized crime being involved with the unions, well duh, we all know that! So what's to be offended about. I must be slow.

I think it is hilarious. Of course they do say truth is stranger than fiction.
