JW – I planted some bird seed, a bird came up. Now I don’t know what to feed it. – Steven Wright
JM – Michael, I did nothing. I did absolutely nothing and it was everything I thought it could be. – Peter Gibbens – Office Space
JD – EB, you have been missing a lot of work lately.
EB – I wouldn’t say I’ve been missing it.
This week I heard/saw several references to the movie Office Space. It is a classic movie that parodies the absurdities of the “corporate” world.
In addition to the humor there is a lesson though. Being happy with our work is an important part of being happy with our lives.
That begs the question for each and every one of us – is your workplace contributing to or detracting from your overall happiness?
And if it is detracting, is it you or is it them?
Challenging questions to be sure, but with only a short time on Earth, questions we must answer.
And since that got a little too serious after the funny Office Space quotes, here is a trailer for the movie:
Make it a great weekend.
