GREAT ADVICE FOR BUSINESS OWNERS The next time you're grumbling with a fellow Entrepreneur about ungrateful employees, chiseling customers and high tax rates, take a moment to share a happier bit of news: how you recently made your business more efficient, because efficient Entrepreneurs survive in tough times.  # [John Henry on Business] 9:51:45 PM     Comments[]

WE'LL KNOW WE'RE AT BOTTOM WHEN THERE ARE NONE! It's funny, a couple of years ago, driving up to San Jose, you'd see all these "Adopt-A-Highway" signs sponsored by all kinds of different .coms.  Yesterday, the only .com I saw on an "Adopt-A-Highway" sign was "Careers.com".  [snellspace] 2:37:38 PM     Comments[]

JUST BE CAREFUL WITH THE DEBT LOAD! Home businesses and other tiny companies are getting financing, thanks to micro-enterprise-lending programs that have sprung up around the nation, this is a concept that came to the U.S. in the early 1960s and is going strong today. Many banks won't make commercial loans for less than $50,000, but the small entrepreneur does have financing options.  # [John Henry on Business] 9:03:53 AM     Comments[]

SALES PERSON ASKS "Is there any way to retrieve a fax I sent by mistake?" Dan Lyke:  "I think the use of fax machines by marketing people is their way of lording the failures of technology over geeks." [jenett.radio] 8:49:26 AM     Comments[]

THE RAT RACE AS VIEWED BY WOMEN? Overheard Today. Do I look like a people person? This isn't an office. It's Hell with fluorescent lighting. I started out with nothing & still have most of it left. Sarcasm is just one more service we offer. If I throw a stick, will you leave? You...! Off my planet! Does your train of thought have a caboose? Did the aliens forget to remove your anal probe? Errors have been made. Others will be blamed. A PBS mind in an MTV world. Allow me to introduce my selves. Whatever kind of look you were going for, you missed. Well, this day was a total waste of makeup. See no evil, hear no evil, date no evil! Are those your eyeballs? I found them in my cleavage. Not all men are annoying. Some are dead. I'm trying to imagine you with a personality. A cubicle is just a padded cell without a door. Stress is when you wake up screaming & realize you haven't fallen asleep yet. Can I trade this job for what's behind door #1? Too many freaks, not enough circuses. Nice perfume. Must you marinate in it? Chaos, panic, & disorder--my work here is done. How do I set a laser printer to "stun"? I thought I wanted a career, turns out I just wanted paychecks.  [C:PIRILLO.EXE] 8:33:10 AM     Comments[]
