To change..... or not to change, that is the question

Edit

Is this easier to read??

First, before i say anything more, I have a few questions to ask of any and all visitors of this boring little site that just so happens to be mine. Do you think I should change the font size/color/family? Should i begin to organize my thoughts and right in proper english, rather than as the thoughts come out of my head as I have been doing here for quite a long while? Please explain any and all such opinions in a reasonably constructive matter and I will most likely do something to change my seemingly illiterate and/or hard to read ways of posting. School was very boring today, however, today was a day when my brain was actually functioning properly which is a fairly rare event. It was an easy day in trig, for we didn't have to absorb much information. In english we read a bit more of Beowulf. It's fairly good, though a bit to fantasy-like in my opinion. Nothing special happened in gym; however, I learned how weak i am in terms of the benchpress. I max at around 130 pounds, maybe that's not bad for never lifting weights at all. I don't really know, you tell me. Physics was easy today too, wasn't much information to absorb and the class sped by, and before I knew it time had already come for me to go home(yay?? yes, yay!!!!) That bus is crazy, I've only been on it two days, but way crazy. That one girl has had waaaaayyyyy too much caffeine and sugar for her little middle school body to absorb. Seeing her in action is almost scary and way too wierd. She has forgotten the principle rule in my life, "Silence is golden." After my arrival I had a little bit of fun. I was smashing lady bugs with a plastic hanger. The hanger broke, but that didn't stop me. I killed a fly too, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It's such a nice feeling to feel. You should try doing it sometime too. I think i'll go now instead of saying anymore, simply because i'm bored and would rather focus on the music that is playing, which is currently godsmack and is sure to change within seconds to something else, which will change fairly quickly as well.

Management Quotes

Recently, a magazine ran a contest. They were looking for people to submit quotes from their real-life managers. Here are some of the submissions:

1. As of tomorrow, employees will only be able to access the building using individual security cards. Pictures will be taken next Wednesday and employees will receive their cards in two weeks. (This was the winning quote from Fred Dales at Microsoft Corp in Redmond, WA.)

2. What I need is a list of specific unknown problems we will encounter. (Lykes Lines Shipping)

3. E-mail is not to be used to pass on information or data. It should be used only for company business. (Accounting manager, Electric Boat Company)

4. This project is so important, we can't let things that are more important interfere with it. (Advertising/Marketing manager, United Parcel Service)

5. Doing it right is no excuse for not meeting the schedule. No one will believe you solved this problem in one day! We've been working on it for months. Now, go act busy for a few weeks and I'll let you know when it's time to tell them. (R&D supervisor, Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing/3M Corp.)

6. My Boss spent the entire weekend retyping a 25-page proposal that only needed corrections. She claims the disk I gave her was damaged and she couldn't edit it. The disk I gave her was write-protected. (CIO of Dell Computers)

7. Quote from the Boss: "Teamwork is a lot of people doing what I say." (Marketing executive, Citrix Corporation)

8. "How About Friday?" My sister passed away and her funeral was scheduled for Monday. When I told my Boss, he said she died so that I would have to miss work on the busiest day of the year. He then asked if we could change her burial to Friday. He said, "That would be better for me." (Shipping executive, FTD Florists)

9. "We know that communication is a problem, but the company is not going to discuss it with the employees." (Switching supervisor, AT&T Long Lines Division)

10. We recently received a memo from senior management saying: "This is to inform you that a memo will be issued today regarding the subject mentioned above." (Microsoft, Legal Affairs Division)

11. One day my Boss asked me to submit a status report to him concerning a project I was working on. I asked him if tomorrow would be soon enough. He said "If I wanted it tomorrow, I would have waited until tomorrow to ask for it!" (New business manager, Hallmark Greeting Cards.)

12. Speaking the Same Language: As director of communications, I was asked to prepare a memo reviewing our company's training programs and materials.

In the body of the memo one of the sentences mentioned the "pedagogical approach" used by one of the training manuals. The day after I routed the memo to the executive committee, I was called into the HR director's office, and told that the executive vice president wanted me out of the building by lunch. When I asked why, I was told that she wouldn't stand for "perverts" (pedophilia?) working in her company. Finally he showed me her copy of the memo, with her demand that I be fired - and the word "pedagogical" circled in red. The HR manager was fairly reasonable, and once he looked the word up in his dictionary, and made a copy of the definition to send back to her, he told me not to worry. He would take care of it. Two days later a memo to the entire staff came out directing us that no words which could not be found in the local Sunday newspaper could be used in company memos. A month later, I resigned. In accordance with company policy, I created my resignation memo by pasting words together from the Sunday paper. (Taco Bell Corporation)

13. This gem is the closing paragraph of a nationally-circulated memo from a large communications company: "(Company name) is endeavorily determined to promote constant attention on current procedures of transacting business focusing emphasis on innovative ways to better, if not supersede, the expectations of quality!" (Lucent Technologies)
