Friday Funnies - Truthful Sayings

It's often said that a sense of humor is essential to keeping a balanced perspective (or at least for riding out the tough times).  To that end, we devote today's listing to Mr. Ernie Zelinski, author of the book, The Joy of Not Working and who found a way to mix humor and self-promotion via the same Top 10 Listing.

Enjoy!

Top 10 Workplace / Office Problems

1.  Every solution breeds new problems.

2.  Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.

3.  If you have the time for a work project, you won't have the money.  If you have the money, you probably won't have the time.

4.  Nothing is as inevitable as a screwup whose time has come.

5. Things go right in the workplace sometimes so that they can go terribly wrong at others.

6.  There is no office job so simple that it cannot be done wrong.

7. It is easier to get into trouble than to get out of trouble.

8.  No matter how well you perform a task, a superior will find something wrong and modify the results.


9.  When you try to prove to someone that something won't work, it will.  At first.

10. Not being able to read the international bestseller The Joy of Not Working by Ernie Zelinski (over 225,000 copies sold and published in 17 languages) at work without your boss or co-worker being irritated  and not knowing that you are actually creating a great work/life balance with the principles from this book.
