I
can only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow isn't looking good either.
Lack of planning
on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
This is not Burger King. You don't get it your way.
You take it my way, Or you don't get the damn thing.
An ounce of image is worth a pound of performance.
When in doubt, mumble. When in trouble, delegate.
Someday you'll look back on all this and plow into a
parked car.
Which way did they go? How fast were they going? How many of them were there? I must find
them! I am their LEADER!
I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.
If you don't
have time to do it right, How will you find time to do it over?
On the keyboard of life, always keep
one finger on the escape key.
