WITandWISDOM(tm) - December 12, 2000 ~~~~~~~ THOUGHTS: "Take all the training you can get; one good idea is all you need to save yourself years of hard work." - Brian Tracy Source: Quotes from the Masters, MailRoom.DailyInbox.com via http://www.witandwisdom.org ~~~~~~~ SPECIAL THOUGHTS: ~~~~~~~ THIS & THAT: WAYS TO COUNTERBALANCE STRESS AT WORK At lunch time, sit in your parked car w/sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars. See if they slow down. Page yourself over the intercom. Don't disguise your voice. Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that. Encourage your colleagues to join you in a little synchronized chair dancing. Put your garbage can on your desk and label it "IN." As often as possible, skip rather than walk. Specify that your drive-through order is "to go." Sing along at the opera. Go to a poetry recital and ask why the poems don't rhyme. When the money comes out of the ATM, scream "I Won!", "I Won!" "3rd time this week!!!" When leaving the zoo, start running towards the parking lot, yelling "Run for your lives, they're loose!"

I made it some pajamas And a pillow for its head. Then last night it ran away, But first - it wet the bed.

You can search by keyword or by year . . . My husband and I got a good laugh searching for "computer" and seeing what the latest technology was in, say, 1977 and how incredibly expensive it was! How about 64K (yes kilobytes) of RAM for only $1495!! You can visit this fun site at: http://www.adflip.com/ Submitted by :o) Kimberley Broyles |
