Originally posted by EternalOptimist View PostI like the FFS stick idea.
I once thought about getting two little round badges, for under the coat lapels, one saying yes, the other saying no.
The yellow one was to be used first and it explained nicely how he was too busy, the red one was to be used when the yellow one failed and was a little more blunt!
Dont think they worked, he's still a total people pleasing workaholic.

I also made a little laminated sign on a stick with FFS on it, and gave it to my clientco boss. He now just waves it in the air when he is annoyed at the latest batch of pointless management emails. I borrow it sometimes too.

We hear of the conversion of water into wine at the marriage in
Cana as of a miracle. But this conversion is, through the goodness
of God, made every day before our eyes. Behold the rain which
descends from heaven upon our vineyards; there it enters the roots of
the vines, to be changed into wine; a constant proof that God loves
us, and loves to see us happy. The miracle in question was only
performed to hasten the operation, under circumstances of present
necessity, which required it.Last edited by HairyArsedBloke; 26 November 2009, 09:06.

But he didn't. However, it works for me.

How about a toast:
Here's to cheating, stealing, fighting, and drinking.
If you cheat, may you cheat death
If you steal, may you steal a woman's heart.
If you fight, may you fight for a brother
And if you drink, may you drink with me.

I worked this place. Finest collection of crap coders I've ever met. How that company stayed in business was the MD invented something and then kept a couple hundred staff as pets on the proceeds, until he ran out of money.
Anyways, one of the insults that guys there'd spout and pretty much summed up the place:
"May your testicles turn to cubicles and fester in the corners."
Yeah, meaningless, but great to say at a bunch of drunks and then watch their expressions.
