·         You can go anywhere you want if you look serious and carry a clipboard.

 

·         To err is human, to forgive is not Company policy.

 

·         Authority is inversely proportional to the number of pens a person carries.

 

·         The longer the title, the less important  the job.
 

·         People always say that hard work never killed anybody, but when's the last time you ever heard of anybody who "rested to death".

Quote for the Week:

We have come too far, struggled too long, sacrificed too much, and have too much left to do, to allow that [which] we have achieved for the good of all to be swept away without a fight.  And we have not forgotten how to fight.” --Lane Kirkland; President, AFL-CIO, 1981 (Source: http://BigLabor.com Labor quote for the week of October 8, 2007)

 

Happy Holidays!
