The 2007 New Work Rules...

Received from e-mail forward - quite funny...
Dress Code
It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary. If we see you wearing new clothes , we assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a raise. If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you buy nicer clothes, and therefore you do not need a raise. If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a raise.

Sick Days
We will no longer accept a doctor's statement as proof of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.

Personal Days
Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturday & Sunday.

Toilet Use
Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet. There is now a strict three-minute time limit in the stalls. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the stall door will open, and a picture will be taken. After your second offence, your picture will be posted on the company bulletin board under the "Chronic Offenders category". Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be sanctioned under the company's mental health policy.

Lunch Break
Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they need to eat more, so that they can look healthy. Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a balanced meal to maintain their average figure. Chubby people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that's all the time needed to drink a Slim-Fast.

Thank you for your loyalty to our company. We are here to provide a positive employment experience. Therefore, all questions, comments, concerns, complaints, frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations, allegations, accusations, contemplations, consternation and input should be directed elsewhere.

Your Management Team

What a great year!

It took longer than I had planned, but I was finally able to set an hour aside to select my favorite pictures from 2006. It's a good thing that Flickr has the feature to pull pictures from a date range of when they were taken. Two weeks later, here are my top 100. Feel free to check out my 2006 year review in pictures! As always Chicago is featured, my trip to Spain gave me many inspirational moments to snap away and who could forget the immigration reform marches. I hope you enjoy
