Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more
than 100%?
We have all been to those meetings where someone wants over
100%.
How about achieving 103%? Here's a little math that might
prove:
What makes life 100 %?
If A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23
24 25 26
Then,
H A R D W O R K
8 1 18 4 23 15 18 11 = 98 %
K N O W L E D G E
11 14 15 23 12 5 4 7 5 = 96 %
But,
A T T I T U D E
1 20 20 9 20 21 4 5 = 100 %
And,
B U L L S H I T
2 21 12 12 19 8 9 20 = 103 %
<So, it stands to reason that hardwork and knowledge will >
get you
close, attitude will get you there, but bullshit will put
you over the
top. And look how far this will take you ...
A S S K I S S I N G
1 19 19 11 9 19 19 9 14 7 = 118 %
Think about it ... and have a nice day at work !!!

Now I know why Corporate Management seems so problem riddled...
Schizophrenia = 151%
Manic-depression = 164%
Hyperactivity = 181%
Welcome to the American Corporate Culture!
