The opening statement from a speaker at one of our firms conferences ....

"if you can't hear me at the back, you'll just have to listen to the words!"

At the datacentre I used to work at, we had a very nice canteen/restaurant. I knew the 'mission statement' thing had got totally out of hand when one appeared framed and hanging at the till, right behind the contract canteen staff, who were no doubt on minimum wage. It was all a bit bonkers back then, with stake holders, movers and shakers, and all sorts of twaddle :laugh:

I used to have "temporal altruism" written on a punch card over my desk at college. The idea was that if I did some work now I'd be doing my future self a favour.

It didn't work.
