Bosses vs Workers

• When I take a long time, I am slow. When my boss takes a long time, he is thorough.
• When I don't do it, I am lazy. When my boss doesn't do it, he's too busy.
• When I do it without being told, I'm trying to be smart. When my boss does the same, that is initiative.
• When I please my boss, that's brown-nosing. When my boss pleases his boss, that's co-operating.
• When I do good, my boss never remembers. When I do wrong, he never forgets.

What Is Two Plus Two?

An engineer, a physicist, and a lawyer were being interviewed for a position as chief executive officer of a large corporation. The engineer was interviewed first, and was asked a long list of questions, ending with "How much is two plus two?" The engineer excused himself, and made a series of measurements and calculations before returning to the board room and announcing, "Four." The physicist was next interviewed, and was asked the same questions. Again, the last question was, "How much is two plus two?" Before answering the last question, he excused himself, made for the library, and did a great deal of research. After a consultation with the United States Bureau of Standards and many calculations, he also announced, "Four." The lawyer was interviewed last, and again the final question was, "How much is two plus two?" The lawyer drew all the shades in the room, looked outside to see if anyone was there, checked the telephone for listening devices, and then whispered, "How much do you want it to be?"
