Modern Morale Stories

A junior manager, a senior manager and their boss are on their way to a meeting.

On their way through a park, they come across a wonder lamp. They rub the lamp and a ghost appears !

The ghost says," Normally, one is granted three wishes but as you are three, I will allow one wish each" So the eager senior manager shouted, I want the first wish. I want to be in the Bahamas, on a fast boat and have no worries.

Pfufffff, and he was gone. Now the junior manager could not keep quiet and shouted "I want to be in Florida with beautiful girls, plenty of food and cocktails."Pfufffff, and he was also gone. The boss calmly said," I want these two idiots back in the office after lunch at 12.35pm"

Standing in front of a paper shredding machine with a piece of paper in his hand.

"Listen," said the CEO, "this is a very sensitive and important document, and my secretary has left. Can you make this thing work?" "Certainly," said the young executive. He turned the machine on, inserted the paper, and pressed the start button. "Excellent, excellent!" said the CEO as his paper disappeared inside the shredder machine. "I just need one copy."

An American and a Japanese were sitting on the plane on the way to LA when the American turned to the Japanese and asked, "What kind of -ese are you?" The Japanese confused, replied, "Sorry but I don't understand what you mean." The American repeated, What kind of -ese are you?" Again, the Japanese was confused over the question. The American, now irritated, then yelled, "What kind of -ese are you .. Are you a Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese!, etc......???" The Japanese then replied, "Oh, I am a Japanese." A while later the Japanese turned to the American and asked: What kind of 'kee' was he. The American, frustrated, yelled, "What do you mean what kind of '-kee' am I?!" The Japanese said, "Are you a Yankee, donkee, or monkee?"

There were these 4 guys, a Russian, a German, an American and a French, who found this small genie bottle. When they rubbed the bottle, a genie appeared. Thankful that the 4 guys had released him out of the bottle, He said, "Next to you all are 4 swimming pools, I will give each of you a wish. When you run towards the pool and jump, you shout what you want the pool of water to become, then your wish will come true." The French wanted to start. He ran towards the pool, jumped and shouted "WINE". The pool immediately changed into a pool of wine. The Frenchman was so happy swimming and drinking from the pool. Next is the Russian's turn, he did the same and shouted, "VODKA" and immersed himself into a pool of vodka. The German was next and he jumped and shouted, "BEER". He was so contented with his beer pool. The last is the American. He was running towards the pool when suddenly he steps on a banana peel. He slipped towards the pool and shouted, SH*T!!!!!!!........."

Like Fancy Designations? Beware It might have other meanings!!!

Are you the person who always like to be designated with some fancy caption?

Well you may think fancy designation is great and suits well with your position. But have you ever thought what your people down the lanes talk and define a new meaning for that?

Just go through the down the lane definitions of some designations,

Project Manager is a Person who thinks nine Women can deliver a baby in One month.

Marketing Manager is a person who thinks he can deliver a baby even if no man and woman are available.

Onsite Coordinator is one who thinks single Woman can deliver nine babies in one month.

Resource Optimization Team thinks they don't Need a man or woman; they'll produce a child with zero resources.

Quality Auditor is the person who is never happy with the PROCESS to produce a baby.

Documentation Team thinks they don't care whether the child is delivered, they'll just document 9 months.

Developer is a Person who thinks it will take 18 months to deliver a Baby.

Client is the one who doesn't know why he wants a baby.

And finally...

Tester is a person who always tells his wife that this is not the Right baby.


Now back to the same question. "have you ever thought what your people down the lanes talk and define a new meaning for that?"

Probably your answer is NO. Because you have positioned in such a way that your team members are not ready to share their lighter moments with you.
If its the case please evaluate yourself and decide how you would like to be viewed by your people... Else at the end you will be left with just that fancy designation and no love from your so called team members...

netAdventist Crossed 30k Mark

Being my most favourite project of all... I always keep track of the google's search result numbers for "netAdventist".

I started doing this when netAdventist was first released to customer usage back in early 2006. The initial page result were just around 7 or 8. Recently today after long time I did the same and im not surprised to see the page results hovering well over 30,000 mark. Commendable growth supported by Gordon Harty whom I consider as my guru, David Burry, John Ash and a wonderful team from India lead by Subash which I was part of it untill few months back.

I wish all the best to netAdventist team to make it a mega success story and front runner in Web 2.0 technology arena.
