I seriously doubt that this thread will have anywhere near the number of replies that those listed above have.

Good one pax.

WDIK, maybe wasting time will hit someone elses hot button and this one will take off too.

It hasn't generated much enthusiasm so far.

You're right. Guess no one gets spun up about wasting time.

My idea of wasting time:

Preparing and distributing Summary Annual Reports.

Are you suggesting those tasks are less wasteful than reading SARs?

RCK

It's hard to rate reading SAR's because I don't know anyone who has done it.

Maybe if we wrote them like Dr. Suess participants would read them.

I do not like SARs!
I do not like them Sam I Am!

Would you like them with more RAM?
Would you like them with less spam?

would you read them on the plane?
you must think that I'm insane!

And what a wonderful picture it was Tom.

ah, but you folks missed out on the version of the Grinch story I told at the company Christmas party. that was even better.

Be that a Holiday party?

Political correctness could really propel this into the stratosphere as a hot topic. By the way, Tom. I remember that photo. I hthught you looked a little green.

well, I put together a powerpoint presentation of the Grinch and worked all the employees at work into the story. I did keep pretty close word for word.

for instance the guy from New York ended up as...

The XXXXXX hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season!
Now, please don’t ask why – No one quite knows the reason.
It could be his head wasn’t screwed on just right.
It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight.
But I think the most likely reason of all

the Jets out again from playoff football

........
someone else ended up with the follwoing

but whatever the reason
YYYYYYY heart or his shoes
he stood there on Christmas Eve

hoping for booze

I am hanging my stockings
he said with a sneer
I'm hoping that Santa

will fill them with beer

Very cute, Tom. It reminds me of something I did years ago as a take off on The Night Before Christmas where I worked in all of the people in the office.
