Sources of Inspiration
One thing that never ceases to send me into a fit of violent rage is when people put cute, motivational sayings in the signatures of their emails. You know, something like "When we accept tough jobs as a challenge and wade into them with joy and enthusiasm, miracles can happen." Ugh, even typing that made me want to kick myself in the balls. Well, anyway it reminded me of my favorite mock inspirational poster, which says "Motivation - If A Pretty Poster And A Cute Saying Are All It Takes To Motivate You, You Probably Have A Very Easy Job. The Kind Robots Will Be Doing Soon." I love that. Well I found a few more that I thought I would share here, but it's better if you go to the site so you can see the posters:
Wishes - When you wish upon a falling star, Your dreams can come true. Unless it's really a meteorite hurtling to the earth which will destroy all life.
Procrastination - Hard Work Often Pays Off After Time, but Laziness Always Pays Off Now.
Worth - Just because you're necessary doesn't mean you're important...
Mistakes - It Could Be that the Purpose of Your Life Is Only to Serve as a Warning to Others.
Incompetence - When You Earnestly Believe You Can Compensate For A Lack Of Skill By Doubling Your Efforts, There's No End To What You Can't Do.
Idiocy - Never Underestimate the Power of Stupid People in Large Groups.
Elitism - It's Lonely At The Top. But It's Comforting To Look Down Upon Everyone At The Bottom.
Cluelessness - There Are No Stupid Questions, But There Are A Lot Of Inquisitive Idiots.
Ambition - The Journey Of A Thousand Miles Sometimes Ends Very, Very Badly.
Achievement - You Can Do Anything You Set Your Mind To When You Have Vision, Determination, And An Endless Supply Of Cheap Labor.

I *heart* this one.
"Regret: It hurts to admit when you make mistakes - but when they're big enough, the pain only lasts a second."
"Meetings: None Of Us Is As Dumb As All Of Us"
It would be even funnier if it weren't so damn true.
If You're Not A Part Of The Solution, There's Good Money To Be Made In Prolonging The Problem."
was always one of my favorites...
