From the "I swear it happened" pile, back in the '80s I was working at company making satellite TV receivers for cable companies. This was before direct broadcast satellites when everything was big antennas (like 12' diameter or more) and everything was expensive.
Back in the '80s, Japan was going to take everything from us, not China. Remember?
Anyway, our VP of engineering went to Japan to talk with Panasonic and swore that there were signs there that translated as, "SHIM - So Happy It's Monday" and under that "Another chance to succeed, Another chance to excel!" They turned off lights in the hallways if no one triggered a motion detector so they could be just that much more competitive.
I'm retired and living in the mountains of NC. Weekends lose their meaning when you retire, but happy hour is still happy hour. It's five o'click somewhere.
I don't put up with a lot of bullshit any day.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week pal.
