Just for Grins

We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give more than 100 percent of your effort. How about achieving 103 percent? Here's a little math that might prove helpful in the future.

The English alphabet A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z can be represented as numbers where A=1 and Z=26. So you can convert any word into an equivalent sum by adding the values of the word's constituent numbers. Thus:

H A R D W O R K:
8 1 18 4 23 15 18 11 = 98% only

K N O W L E D G E:
11 14 15 23 12 5 4 7 5 = 96% only

But:

A T T I T U D E:
1 20 20 9 20 21 4 5 = 100%

And:

B U L L S * * T
2 21 12 12 19 8 9 20 = 103%

So, it stands to reason that hard work and knowledge will get you close, but attitude and bull**** will put you over the top.

How true that is....how true that is.

thats why i love working for a small business. no BS corporate meetings with guys in suits. as long as my boss keeps buying us lunch every thursday we'lll be productive:D

EXCEPT if you work for a small business that attempts to pretend its big biz, like mine.

The crap I gotta go through just at my dinky hole in da wall workplace.
