Home Forums Discussions General Discussion TIP O' THE DAY

WARNING: This is meant for entertainment purposes only!!

Put an official-looking sign over the control pad of your copier/fax that says it's now voice activated. The sign should direct users to say their full name in a loud, crisp voice followed by the desired command, e.g."This is Donna Jones, give me ten copies, one side only".

Niiiiicccce. I can see we are going to have to keep an eye on you at the convention.... You touble maker you....

I'll be the one with the jester hat and the fake nose. Actually I won't be attending. It's too close to my move to Sacramento. Enjoy these last fleeting moments!! I plan to post one of these everyday until someone physically stops me (or bribes me with real money). You have been warned...

I hope its not the same fake nose that Humpty Hump used to wear.

OH, for you non-hip-hop folks, he's a rapper.

Thanks for clarifying that...

So, here's todays:

When you don't want to be interrupted by petty office-related stuff, walk away fast and look worried.

Now Donna my dear, you can't use that tired old line "it's too close to my move date."

I'm moving my entire office location physically down the road about a mile, and I'm doing it the DAY AFTER Bert and I get back to Maine from Branson.

Come to Branson!

"please come to Branson for the spring time... I'm living out here with some friends and we've got lots of room, please come to Branson to live forever.... and she said now ramblin' boy why don't you settle down, Branson ain't your type of town, ....."

Sorry boys, it's just not in the cards. With the move and a new job, money will be a little tight this summer. I would LOVE to be there to meet some of you in person, but think about it--I would simply be a distraction for those seeking serious answers to AC's mysterious future. But hey, I'm still here (hopefully) for a few more months so you'll tire of me soon enough!

And for the tip of the day: Never walk down the hall without some paperwork in your hands. People holding documents look like their important. But not a newspaper--that looks like you're headed for the bathroom. Above all, make sure you carry lots of stuff home with you at night, thus generating the false impression that you work longer hours than you do. (Oh sorry, this wouldn't be funny to some of you, huh???)

HaHa Donna.
I work long hours and take almost nothing home. That probably creates the false impression that I don't work hard. That being said, no one sees me come or go because I get here before most people are awake, and leave when most people have been home for several hours.

Adam--you're such a show off! And remember, all work and no play... well, you can guess where that'll lead you.

Makes Bert a Dull Boy, Right??? I better start running now.... Bye!

Donna, My motto for a long time has been "work hard, and play harder."

God bless you Adam! But to some of us who partied a little too hard in the 80's have precious few brain cells left to party. So I could say, "What goes around, comes around" but instead, here goes:

I can only please one person each day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look good either...

OUCH!

As an official, coach, ex-player and a dad, I say: "Play hard, but play smart". Heads up, wear good gear so on and so forth...

Are you tired of this yet??

If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit. No use in being a damn fool about it...

Last one for the week:

"I'll try being nicer, if you try being smarter..."

Gee Donna, next thing I know you'll say something like:

"If it doesn't fit, force it. If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway."
