    Smile 110% Effort

    What makes life 100%?

    Ever wonder about those people who say they
    are giving more than 100%?

    We have all been to those meetings where someone wants over 100%.

    How about achieving 103%?

    Here's a little math that might prove helpful.

    If:
    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
    is represented as:
    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

    Then,

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

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

    But,

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

    And,

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

    So, it stands to reason that hardwork and knowledge
    will get you close, attitude will get you there, but
    will put you over the top.

    And look how far this will take you......

    A S S K I S S I N G
    1 19 19 11 9 19 19 9 14 7 = 118%

    Think about it... and have a nice day at work.

    We used to have a saying in the submariners;
    'excreta toro cerebum vincit'
    Ask anybody who knows Latin to decipher it for you!

    Thought you'd never ask.

    I had a house built for me, and I moved in on my own ie without wife and kids before chrismas. And basically i've been very busy with the house, I've put in the floor boards + tiles myself + many other things so I could get the family in with me.
    During that time they were staying at my mother inlaws place and we lived there for 2.5 years. So I was fully focused on the job at hand. I also had a big work commitment + I had no computer at home during this period.
    I won't be visiting as often as I used to but I do look forward to loging on as it is one of my true pleasures, not to mention a great source of information.

    thanks for asking

    regards

    Gino

    Good to hear that you weren't dead or something. I miss the jokes, even the ones I have to edit

    Glad things are going well.

    And the answer is " beats brains"

    It only takes one drink to get me loaded. Trouble is, I can't remember if it's the thirteenth or fourteenth.
