"Christmas gift suggestions: To
your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, your heart. To
a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To
yourself, respect." - Oren Arnol
Well, Merry Merry JaxWorld
Readers… every blog (and OMG we are
looking at 233 of them since we started taking the lid of my wibbly wobbly
world) begins with a quote from someone
way much wiser than I.
So as my yuletide gift to you
folk… I thought I would leave you on the night before Christmas with a few
quotes for this time of year:
SO… here we GO:
EDDY SIMS: I’m glad I never see Santa’s
face when I open my pressies… I miss that awkward moment when he realises he
has left the price on the gift
ESTELLA TRIGJE: Santa list would
be different if he could close his eyes at the weekends – I’d so make the good
list.
ANDREA STRONG: If Santa read your Facebook status he’d be
buying you a bloody good dictionary for Christmas
DENNIS MILLER: Santa is very
jolly because he knows where all the bad girls live.
JAY LENO: The supreme court ruled
that there could not be a nativity scene in Washington DC. They couldn’t find 3
wise men or a virgin.
JOAN RIVERS: Dear Santa, ( ) I've
been good all year. ( ) Ok most of the time. ( ) Once in a while. (X) Fuck it.
I'll buy my own shit.
JAXWORLD BLOG: Anyone who
believes that men are the equal of women has never seen a man trying to wrap a
Christmas present.
BILL WATERSON: Oh look, yet
another Christmas TV special! How touching to have the meaning of Christmas
brought to us by cola, fast food, and beer...Who'd have ever guessed that
product consumption, popular entertainment, and spirituality would mix so
harmoniously?
And finally….Festive season
quotes for all the poor saps who have to earn a crust
DILBERT: Why is Christmas like
any other day in the office? The little people do all the work and the fat guy
in the suit turns up last minute and takes all the credit.
HARRY B THAYER: At this time of
year out comes the FUN boss. I wish to remind him, It is possible to fool the
people you work for. It is more difficult to fool the people you work with. But
it is almost impossible to fool the people who work under you.
CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER: There are
worse things than working over Christmas: Working with Julie Andrews is like
getting hit over the head with a valentine.
BILL GATES: Here at work we're
all just trying to get a job done. My people have the confidence of their
convictions and they know their skills. And that occupies most of their time - I'm on holiday.
SARAH GEE: I always give 100% at Work:
10% Monday, 23% Tuesday, 40% Wednesday, 22% Thursday, 5% Friday! This year I'll give a full 23% - up 13% on 2011!
BT OPERATIVE: At work you might
hear me say, 'How can I help you?' but my tone says, 'What the fuck do you
want?'
TYLER WILCOX: Another day at
work...I'm having as much fun as a colour-blind person playing twister.
SARA SANTIGO: I use sarcasm at
work because slapping the shit outta someone on Xmas day is looked down on by management.
GEMMA ARETON: I'm looking at
working with people I get on with, that respect me, that don't just see me as
from the outside. Which I have experienced as well. I don't want that in my
life. I want to enjoy the work I do.
PETER FALK: Never take your mind
to work. If your mind is at work, we're in danger of reproducing another
cliche. If we can keep our minds out of it and our thoughts out of it, maybe
we'll come up with something original.
HEATHER HARTNER: I don't have a
problem with idiots. I just have a problem working with them.
MERLE SHAIN: You can employ men
and hire hands to work for you, but you must win their hearts to have them work
with you. You'll need to have won both for them to come in for you on Christmas day.
And let’s finish up with the
words of wisdom from a man, much much wiser me:
"I sometimes think we expect too much of Christmas Day. We try to
crowd into it the long arrears of kindliness and humanity of the whole year. As
for me, I like to take my Christmas a little at a time, all through the year.
And thus I drift along into the holidays--let them overtake me unexpectedly--waking
up some fine morning and suddenly saying to myself: 'Why this is Christmas
Day!'" - Ray Stannard Baker
Happy Christmas one and all…. See
you on the other side – Jax.
