    On the Job
    Lynn Lievonen
    <strong>Thoughts from work</strong><br />
    Thoughts and stories from on the job<br />
    <br />
    My boss came in one morning and caught me hugging my secretary. He said in a rage, "Is this what you get paid for?" I told him, "Nope! I do this for free." <br />
    <br />
    This same boss was into all this dumb inspirational and motivation stuff too. I remember once he posted a sign, which read, "Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday." I couldn't resist and added a note: "And now you know why too". <br />
    <br />
    Once I came upon this pretty new temp standing in front of the paper shredder with a confused look on her face. I asked if she needed any help and she said, "Yeah, how does this thing work?" I took the papers from her hand and demonstrated how to work the shredder. She stood there a moment with yet another confused expression, so I said, "Any questions?" She said, "Yeah, exactly where do the copies come out from?" <br />
    <br />
    People always say that hard work never killed anybody. Oh yeah??? When's the last time ya ever heard of anyone who "rested to death". <br />
    <br />
    Being punctual in our Office was of no benefit what so ever. There was never anybody around to appreciate it. <br />
    <br />
    Our Office was always on the cutting edge of technology. Not only did we have computers, which spoke as well as listened; Hell, some of them even got ulcers. <br />
    <br />
    Did ya ever notice the people who complain the most about not having enough time to do all their work are the same ones who always stop & tell?
