JanetM Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Good one pax. WDIK, maybe wasting time will hit someone elses hot button and this one will take off too. JanetM CPA, MBA
Lame Duck Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 It hasn't generated much enthusiasm so far.
JanetM Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 You're right. Guess no one gets spun up about wasting time. JanetM CPA, MBA

david rigby Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 Are you suggesting those tasks are less wasteful than reading SARs? I'm a retirement actuary. Nothing about my comments is intended or should be construed as investment, tax, legal or accounting advice. Occasionally, but not all the time, it might be reasonable to interpret my comments as actuarial or consulting advice.
RCK Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 It's hard to rate reading SAR's because I don't know anyone who has done it.
JanetM Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 Maybe if we wrote them like Dr. Suess participants would read them. JanetM CPA, MBA
Lame Duck Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 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?
Tom Poje Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 would you read them on the plane? you must think that I'm insane!
jevd Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 DR. Seuss I Presume?? JEVD Making the complex understandable.
Tom Poje Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 well, no, actually I am only one of his creations. somewhere on one of these threads is my actual photo from Christmas. (But you will have to go back 60 days to find it)
JanetM Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 And what a wonderful picture it was Tom. JanetM CPA, MBA
Tom Poje Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 ah, but you folks missed out on the version of the Grinch story I told at the company Christmas party. that was even better.
Lame Duck Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 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.
Tom Poje Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 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
Lame Duck Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 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.
