Inspirational Thoughts From Troy
Imagine my disappointment on graduation day when I showed up in my overalls and hat expecting a key to a train, and they gave me a stupid little ring and made me fondle a chain. I still haven't gotten to run a train. And at this rate I never will.

Why managers aren't full of shit (but rather piss and wind):
They make a big stink, and a big mess, which doesn't amount to much of anything. It doesn't last very long and runs away immediately. You go in with the expectation of big things to come and are disappointed with the results. They leave you temporarily relieved, but you know the real work will be coming later. They make a big noise and that's about it. Someone else usually gets the blame for it. There is no solid evidence of what they did yesterday. They think they're big shits, but it's all a far(t)ce. The bigger the asshole the more noise they make, but they don't usually last as long.
Safety Tips from Kelloggs
I found an entire box of clues under my desk. Should I distribute them to the people here who have none?
If you lose your ambition, can you replace it with contempt, or will resentment do a better job?
I'm easily distracted by my co-workers. Should I complain to their boss or just try to sleep through it?
If I drop the ball, should I pick it up, or try to ignore it and hope someone else slips on it?
Should I cut off my nose to spite my face?
Should I work to my potential or just to my potential raise?
If you were drowning and had to chose between the sharks and a boatload of co-workers, would you choose the sharks or try to throw one of the fat ones off the boat?
I have found no ego here. I don't have time to bother looking for it. I find it gets in the way of accepting your faults and setting your sights low. Everyone needs a goal they can achieve, so aim low and hit the mark every time.
Over achieving is for failures, or people destined to fail. There is a big difference between laziness and realism. Sometimes you have to stop chopping wood and sharpen the ax. People with big booties make the best lovers. Cheese sandwiches are best left to those who can eat them. The road to success is littered with horseshit. The road of life is full of ruts. People with breasts are sometimes women. Coconuts aren't the only ones with hair. Managers make the best pets.
