Glad you posted this, justa minute after hearing I’m at risk of losing my job next week.
My company feels the same way, I guess.
I just love those ‘despair’ posters. So cynical. So true. I even bought one to circulate among my work-peer group when we were having trouble with a computer system installed in France. The picture is of the Eiffel tower rising from the Paris mists. The caption is: “EFFORT. Hard work never killed anybody. But it is illegal in some places”
see: [url]http://www.despair.com/effort.html[/url]
We kept running into that “not my job” or “outside of work hours” rules, rules against overtime. Work rules for this. Work rules for that. Eventually the company said, stuff your rules, we’re pulling out of France… and added another couple hundred to their unemployed.
And the postcard? The local manager laughed then advised I keep it put away. Not P.C. in a global company.
So. So cynical. So true. No non P.C. So hard for certain political groups in this country to understand.
Did that last comment post or not? I don’t see it but the system says it detected a duplicate post. Now I am really confused.
I guess not because this question did, but the previous comment did not. So here it is just in case:

Ok, I think I have it figured out. The rule is: don’t embed links, the comment will be marked as SPAM and Lex will have to dig it out. Sigh…….
I’m geeking out over this one…. I might have to post it on my blog too.
Geeking out indeed:
It was found on the web, I passed it along to Lex. My sense of humor is impaired of late, apparently I lack hope. I have one friend who is both conservative and a huge Star Wars fan, he will get the most out of it.
Of course, there’s the version the Chinese bought to make, you know, a casino…
A casino, eh? As in “your gambling with your life if you ship out on it” kind of risky playpen? You know, like “never buy a new car in it’s first model year until the kinks are ironed out?” Or is you talkin’ ’bout the ultimate in potential for real Mississippi-style riverboat casinos? Guess the word “casino” could fit either interpretation in this case, agree?
Lex – that is brilliant.
SJBill – Sorry to hear about your situation. I hope that things work out for the best. I’m wading through the job market again myself, though for different reasons.
JoeC: I own the same poster. Great website, that.
@VX: “B” – though anyone who hadn’t fallen off the turnip truck in the last fortnight saw it for what it was when they bought it from the
SovietsRussians…- SJS

Sad, but true!!
