Reason I'm going to get fired, No. 574
September 20, 2007Several months ago, someone hung up inspirational slogans and sayings in our building.
They're everywhere.
I can't go get a Coke or go to the bathroom without running into one of them.
This will come as a complete shock to anyone who knows me, but I hate being force-fed inspirations.
"Chicken Soup for the Soul" and stuff like that make me want to vomit.
And so I was none too pleased to be confronted by pseudo inspiration at work.
"Always smile. It IS heard on the phone."
"To my customer, I may not have the answer, but I'll find it. I may not have the time, but I'll make it."
"If we don't take care of our customers, someone else will."
Well, no s$@*! I didn't need a poster to tell me this.
Which leads me to my small -- yet very inspired -- act of protest.
One of the signs reads like this:
Do what you do so well
that they will want to see it again
and bring their friends.
--- Walt Disney
I couldn't resist.
I took out a piece of paper, scissors and a marker, and made a new name.
I carefully taped over Walt Disney with . . . Hugh Hefner.
Now read the quote again.
