what’s your work mantra?

02/18/2002: “”

so, my laugh out loud moment today (no matter HOW bad me life is, i always try and have one a day) came at stubb’s bar-b-que in one of there back offices. it’s an office that if a show was going on, you would walk out into a sea of 2,200 screaming concert goers, mere inches from your desk. over the door that would take you into this insanity was a bumper sticker as a reminder of what you were about to do to yourself…

“BEWARE OF THE POWER OF STUPID PEOPLE IN VERY LARGE GROUPS”

too funny. reminded me of a sticker that used to be over an entrance to emo’s, a club on 6th and red river that had catered to everyone from johnny cash to white zombie to beck. and WAY too many indie, new-school, post-grunge “punk” bands. there sticker said:

“PUNKS NOT DEAD…IT’S JUST STUPID”

words to live by. got me thinking, though…do OTHER offices have this? when you walk out of the break room of the main IRS office on ben white, is there a sticker over the door that says:

“DO YOU WANT SOME LUBE WITH THAT?”

or if you walk out of the dressing room of any “gentleman’s club”, is there a sign that the girls see that says:

“DON’T FORGET….YOU REALLY LIKE HIM….UNTIL HIS WALLET’S EMPTY”

or if you work at a sewage plant…

“SAME SHIT, DIFFERENT DAY”

so, at YOUR job, what should the sticker say? or is there already one? if so, what is it? mail me and let me know if you actually have one, or can come up with a good one…maybe we can get a book deal for me outta this…
