A drop in salary

Saturday, November 10th, 2007

A man came home from work one day to find his wife sitting on the front porch with her bags packed. He asked her where she was going and she replied “I’m going to Las Vegas.”

He questioned her as to why she was going and she told him “I just found out that I can make $400.00 a night doing what I give you for free”.

He pondered that then went into the house and packed his bags and returned to the porch and with his wife. She said “And just where do you think you’re going?”

“I’m going too!!” he replied.

“Why?” She asked.

“I want to see how you are going to live on $800.00 a year”!

The candidate said, “In the neighborhood of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package.”

The HR Person said, “Well, what would you say to a package of 5-weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every 2 years - say, a red Corvette?”

The Engineer sat up straight and said, “Wow!!! Are you kidding?”

REJECTION LETTER

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

The next time you get a rejection letter from a hoped-for employer or publisher, just send them the following:

Dear [name of the person who signed the rejection letter],

Thank you for your letter of [date of the rejection letter]. After careful consideration, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me [employment with your firm/a contract to publish my book].

This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually large number of rejection letters. With such a varied and promising field of candidates, it is impossible for me to accept all refusals. Despite [name of the co or agency that sent you this letter]’s outstanding qualifications and previous experience in rejecting [applicants/manuscripts], I find that your rejection does not meet with my needs at this time.

Therefore, I will initiate [employment/publishing] with your firm immediately following [graduation/job change, etc. - get creative here]. I look forward to working with you.

Best of luck in rejecting future [candidates/manuscripts].

Sincerely,
[your name]

AT THE JOB INTERVIEW

One day a man tried to get a job at a great company. He passed every test with flying colours. At the final interview part, the CEO told him that his constant blinking would bother customers.

The CEO says “We don’t approve of womanizing!”

The guy says “Oh! No! Have you ever tried to ask a pharmacist for aspirin while your winking”

New Guy On The Job

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

The manager of a large office noticed a new man one day and told him to come into his office. “What is your name?” was the first thing the manager asked the new guy. “James,” the new guy replied. The manager scowled, “Look… I don’t know what kind of a mamby-pamby place you worked at before, but I don’t call anyone by their first name. It breeds familiarity and that leads to a breakdown in authority. I refer to my employees by their last name only… Smith, Jones, Baker… that’s all. I am to be referred to only as Mr. Robertson. Now that we got that straight, what is your last name?” The new guy sighed, “Darling. My name is James Darling.” “Okay, James, the next thing I want to tell you is…”

Things You Can’t Say at Work

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

ahhh…i see the f***-up fairy has visited us again…

i don’t know what your problem is, but i’ll bet it’s hard to pronounce.

i see you’ve set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public.

i’ll try being nicer if you’ll try being smarter.

it sounds like english, but i can’t understand a word you’re saying.

i can see your point, but i still think you’re full of s***.

i like you. you remind me of when i was young and stupid.

you are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers.

i have plenty of talent and vision. i just don’t give a damn.

i’m already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth.

thank you. we’re all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view.

what am i? flypaper for freaks!?

yes, i am an agent of satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial.

and your crybaby whiny-butt opinion would be…?

do i look like a people person?

this isn’t an office. it’s hell with fluorescent lighting.

sarcasm is just one more service we offer.

if i throw a stick, will you leave?

i’m trying to imagine you with a personality.

can i trade this job for what’s behind door #1?

how do i set a laser printer to stun?

i thought i wanted a career, turns out i just wanted a paycheck.

Picabo Street

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

The famous female Olympic skier Picabo Street is not just an
athlete, she is a nurse. She currently works at the Intensive Care Unit of a
large metropolitan hospital.

She is not permitted to answer the telephone, however, as it caused simply too
much confusion when she would answer the phone and say, “Picabo,ICU.”

I will correct it in two weeks

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

Over the past several months, my company has shorted my paychecks several
times, anywhere from $75 to $300. Each time this has happened, the payroll
department made me wait two weeks before they corrected the error.

Last payday the situation reversed. Everyone with direct deposit was paid
twice. I quickly withdrew every dollar from my bank account before the mistake
could be corrected. When payroll called about the mistake, I grinned from ear to
ear. I said, “Yes, I noticed the mistake. I will correct it in two weeks.”
