Rattler's motivational thought for a Wednesday....

After yet more senior management BS, an appropriate, considered quote from Homer Simpson:

"I think Smithers picked me because of my motivational skills. Everyone says they have to work a lot harder when I'm around."

true???

Dave thats why around here there are only a select few doing it hence terms like Dead weight, drift wood & cloth arms come to mind

Still some very positive mutterings going on around here following this mornings meeting, I'm hearing possibly another 12 months from March 2010 providing there are no major equipment failures that would incur a large capital expenditure, such as a RF Klystron which would come in at about £120k

Just have to wait now for the official word from Senior management

Meetings

split your day into hour segments, 8-9, 9-10 etc, (all good meetings last an hour regardless of the time it takes to discuss the subject - a perfect example of work expanding to fill the time available), one meeting after another....shows you're important, essential to the grand plan...the meeting can't be held without you...just make sure you say profound thangs and come out with no actions (a true skill), then go 'running with files' ie run very quickly whenever you move around your office/factory etc -

I'm exhausted sitting here thinking about work
