MURPHY’S LAWS ON WORK………..
A pat on the back is only a few centimeters from a kick in the pants.😳
Don’t be irreplaceable, if you can’t be replaced, you can’t be promoted.
The more crap you put up with, the more crap you are going to get.
You can go anywhere you want if you look serious and carry a clipboard.
Never ask two questions in a business letter. The reply will discuss the one you
are least interested in, and say nothing about the other.
When the bosses talk about improving productivity,
they are never talking about themselves.
There will always be beer cans rolling on the floor of your car
when the boss asks for a ride home from the office.
Mother said there would be days like this, but she never said there would be so many.
Keep your boss’s boss off your boss’s back. This is what I’m doing wrong.
Everything can be filed under “miscellaneous.”
Never delay the ending of a meeting or the beginning of a cocktail hour.
To err is human, to forgive is not company policy.
Anyone can do any amount of work provided it isn’t the work he is supposed to be doing.
Important letters that contain no errors will develop errors in the mail.
The last person that quit or was fired will be the one held responsible for
everything that goes wrong – until the next person quits or is fired.
There is never enough time to do it right the first time,
but there is always enough time to do it over.
The more pretentious a corporate name, the smaller the organization. (For instance, The Murphy Center for Codification of Human and Organizational Law, contrasted to IBM, GM, AT&T …).
If you are good, you will be assigned all the work. If you are
really good, you will get out of it.
You are always doing something marginal when the boss drops by your desk.
People are always available for work in the past tense.
If it wasn’t for the last minute, nothing would get done.
At work, the authority of a person is inversely proportional to the
number of pens that person is carrying.
When you don’t know what to do, walk fast and look worried.
You will always get the greatest recognition for the job you least like.
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by
reducing it to the question, “How would the Lone Ranger handle this?”
Hey I’m just saying! That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a
great weekend people and whatever you do, don’t forget
to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman!

Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes….
‘Writing: For the Sell of It’ was the theme of our community college’s annual
writers’ conference. When I called a widely published author and asked him
to be our keynote speaker, my request was met with a long silence. He finally said,
“I don’t know what I would say to that audience.””You’re just being modest,”
I replied. “I’m sure you’re extremely qualified to speak on that subject.” He
suddenly broke into laughter. “I thought you said, ‘Writing for the Celibate!’ 😱😁😎

Thursday’s Movie Trivia of the day! What movie is this quote from??? ”
‘Look, you fools. You’re in danger. Can’t you see? They’re after you. They’re after all of us.
Our wives, our children, everyone. They’re here already. You’re next!’
Answer: Invasion Of The Body Snatchers!
This quote was from the 1956 version that starred Kevin McCarthy. The basic story has been told many times but the old one is great.
One by one, people started acting strange, very subdued and not affected by much of anything. McCarthy and his girlfriend (Dana Wynter) figured out that when people fell asleep, a huge pod started to grow and soon resembled the sleeping person. If a person slept long enough, the human died and the pod became that person. Wynter fell asleep and woke to warn others about McCarthy. He ran into traffic, screamed the lines above and tried to hitch a ride on a truck. As he lifted the canvas cover to climb in, he saw that the truck was full of pods.
Friday’s Movie Trivia of the day! What movie is this quote from???
‘I wonder how such a degenerated person ever reached a position of authority in the Army Medical Corps.’ ‘He was drafted.’

The young woman happily agreed and said, “Good-bye, Mother” when the old lady left. Later she got a shock. What was it?
Answer: The young woman was presented with the bill for the old lady’s meal.
The lady had assured the waiter, “My daughter will pay.”😱😳
