Before I married my wife, a husband once said, it was nothing but wine, women, and song.
Now that Im her husband, its beer, mama, and TV.

A lecturer teaching medicine was tutoring a class on Observation. He took out a jar of yellow-colored liquid. This, he explained, is urine. To be a doctor, you have to be observant to color, smell, sight, and taste.
After saying this, he dipped his finger into the jar and put it into his mouth. His class watched on in amazement, most, in disgust. But being the good students that they were, the jar was passed, and one by one, they dipped one finger into the jar and then put it into their mouth.
After the last student was done, the lecturer shook his head. If any of you had been observant, you would have noticed that I put my 2nd finger into the jar and my 3rd finger into my mouth.
There were 4 sardars in Mumbai. They decided to start a business. They had a lot of discussions on the type of business and finally decided to start a hotel. They selected the best of locations and cooks and built the hotel. The hotel was inaugrated and was awaiting its first customer. The sardars waited and waited but
nobody turned up. The story was the same the next day. A week passed but nobody turned up.
WHY ? -Bcoz there was a sign at the entrance Visitors not allowed
After the failure of their hotel they decided to start an auto garage. They bought the best of car servicing equipments and soon started the garage. The 4 sardars waited that day for the first car to arrive butno car entered their garage.
WHY ? Bcoz their garage was on the first floor.
After this failure they decided to fall back on the good old taxi driving. They bought a new Premier Padmini running on CNG and began to look for passengers. They drew past Church Gate but nobody hailed their taxi. They went to Nariman point yet nobody hailed their taxi. They drove to Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus, even there nobody hailed their taxi. In desperation they kept on driving all around Mumbai but alas no one hailed their taxi.
WHY ? Bcoz all the four sardars were sitting in the taxi.
All the 4 sardars were very disgusted with their naseeb an decided to push their taxi into the sea at Marine Lines. They started pushing their taxi. They pushed the whole day and were very exhausted but the taxi did not move even an inch. They decided to rest for the night and start the next day. The next day the story repeated itself. The taxi just wouldnt move. They pushed for a whole week but the taxi wouldnt budge.
WHY ? Bcos two sardarjis were pushing from front and two from behind.

Un hombre en el portal de su casa se encuentra con la vecina que está más buena que el pan, se meten en el ascensor y se quedan atrancados entre dos pisos. Pasa el tiempo y nadie va a rescatarlos, a ella le agarra un calentón, se fija en el vecino y piensa que no está tan mal, se desnuda y le dice:
¡Hazme mujer, hazme mujer!
El vecino se le que da viendo, se desviste a toda velocidad, le da el traje a la mujer y le dice:
Toma y traemelo lavado y bien planchado para mañana temprano.
Llega Pepito muy feliz a su casa:
¡Mamá, papá! ¡Me ahorré cuatro pesos!
¿Por qué?, le preguntan.
Porque me vine corriendo atrás del camión.
En eso, su papá interrumpe:
¡Ay, Pepito, si serás idiota! ¿No ves que estamos verdaderamente pobres?
SÃ, papá por eso me ahorre cuatro pesos.
¡Pues te hubieras ahorrado veinticinco pesos!
¿Y cómo?, pregunta Pepito.
¡Pues te hubieras venido corriendo atrás de un taxi!

She says, He said, Please, Mary, put down that damn gun…
BURNOUT PREVENTION AND RECOVERY
1. STOP DENYING. Listen to the wisdom of your body. Begin to freely admit
the stresses and pressures which have manifested physically, mentally, or
emotionally.
MICROSOFT VIEW: Work until the physical pain forces you into
unconsciousness.
2. AVOID ISOLATION. Dont do everything alone! Develop or renew intimacies
with friends and loved ones. Closeness not only brings new insights, but
also is anathema to agitation and depression.
MICROSOFT VIEW: Shut your office door and lock it from the inside
so no-one will distract you. Theyre just trying to hurt your
productivity.
3. CHANGE YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES. If your job, your relationships, a situation,
or a person is dragging you under, try to alter your circumstances, or if
necessary, leave.
MICROSOFT VIEW: If you feel something is dragging you down, supress
these thoughts. This is a weakness. Drink more coffee. ( Its free.)
4. DIMINISH INTENSITY IN YOUR LIFE. Pinpoint those areas or aspects which
summon up the most concentrated intensity and work toward alleviating that
pressure.
MICROSOFT VIEW: Increase intensity. Maximum intensity = maximum
productivity. If you find yourself relaxed and with your mind
wandering, you are probably having a detrimental effect on the
stock price.
5. STOP OVERNURTURING. If you routinely take on other peoples problems and
responsibilities, learn to gracefully disengage. Try to get some nurturing
for yourself.
MICROSOFT VIEW: Always attempt to do everything. You ARE
responsible for it all. Perhaps you havent thoroughly read your job
description.
6. LEARN TO SAY NO. Youll help diminish intensity by speaking up for
yourself. This means refusing additional requests or demands on your time
or emotions.
MICROSOFT VIEW: Never say no to anything. It shows weakness,
and lowers the stock price. Never put off until tomorrow what you can
do at midnight.
7. BEGIN TO BACK OFF AND DETACH. Learn to delegate, not only at work, but
also at home and with friends. In this case, detachment means rescuing
yourself for yourself.
MICROSOFT VIEW: Delegating is a sign of weakness. Let someone
else do it (See # 5).
8. REASSESS YOUR VALUES. Try to sort out the meaningful values from the
temporary and fleeting, the essential from the nonessential. Youll
conserve energy and time, and begin to feel more centered.
MICROSOFT VIEW: Stop thinking about your own problems. This is
selfish. If your values change, we will make an announcement at the
company meeting. Until then, if someone calls you and questions your
priorities, tell them that you are unable to comment on this
and give them the number for Microsoft Marketing. It will be
taken care of.
9. LEARN TO PACE YOURSELF. Try to take life in moderation. You only have
so much energy available. Ascertain what is wanted and needed in your life,
then begin to balance work with love, pleasure, and relaxation.
MICROSOFT VIEW: A balanced life is a myth perpetuated by the Borland
Marketing Team. Dont be a fool: the only thing that matters
is work and productivity.
10. TAKE CARE OF YOUR BODY. Dont skip meals, abuse yourself with rigid
diets, disregard your need for sleep, or break the doctor appointments.
Take care of yourself nutritionally.
MICROSOFT VIEW: Your body serves your mind, your mind serves the
company. Push the mind and the body will follow. Drink Mountain Dew.
(its free.)
11. DIMINISH WORRY AND ANXIETY. Try to keep superstitious worrying to a
minimum–it changes nothing. Youll have a better grip on your situation
if you spend less time worrying and more time taking care of your real
needs.
MICROSOFT VIEW: If youre not worrying about work, you must not be
very committed to it. Well find someone who is.
12. KEEP YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR. Begin to bring joy and happy moments into
your life. Very few people suffer burnout when theyre having fun.
MICROSOFT VIEW: So, you think your work is funny? Well discuss this
with your manager on Friday. At 7:00 pm.
