TGIF – Thank Goodness Summer Is Over!

October 7, 2011 by Bill Bradley

As the week winds down, we wind down with some tidbits for your information, education, health, and enjoyment.

Quote of the Week: For fast-acting relief, try slowing down.  Lily Tomlin

Humor Break: Tell me again the advantages of work:

In Prison … you spend the majority of your time in an 8X10 cell.
At Work … you spend the majority of your time in a 6X8 cubicle.

In Prison … you get three meals a day.
At Work … you only get a break for one meal and you have to pay for it.

In Prison … you get time off for good behavior.
At Work … you get more work for good behavior.

Stats of the Week:
