I'm sure everyone's seen those inane, motivational posters with a big word like TEAMWORK: dare to lead! Or some such rubbish.Well now, you can make your own!
(Check out the stock images... these crack me up)

LOL! Sounds like a good idea for a challenge!

hehe, reminds me of a line heard at work after a guy tried un-successfully to explain why he turned down a transfer to another branch office. "Dude, your train came in and you were standing on the tracks. DOH!" It was followed by a thwapping sound and some expletives.

Oooh... Who can make the most Unmotivating poster! Let's do it here in this thread, for grins. Check out the site, let's have some fun!

Your on! I'll take up this challenge.

There was always the one about "Lead through example", posted by a supervisor who was always late for work; but nobody noticed because he didn't do anything while he was there anyhow. :lol:

they did a bunch of these as parody already; frustration, hoplesness, etc...;) But hey, there's always room for more...

I got reassigned as project manager for a project they knew about for three years. I was given the project in March and it's irretreivable due date is July 25. Talk about motivation.
The part that really irks me is that I had to move out of my nice, private office into a cube. Then, they gave my office to some slacker! I can't even go back.
I think I'm going to be playing with this web site quite a lot.

I don't know if it'll work, but here's the link to one I've always liked.

This should be fun......

Ah, yes. That's one of Despair.Com's standards...
So, the local challenge is to come up with something exactly like that. but original. I just met with the new VP, so I have an arsenal...

Using Bryce would be cool, but this is just something for us to do instead of what we're supposed to do...
dvlenk6 posted Sun, 10 June 2007 at 11:09 AM
Careful...
TheBryster might put a lock on the thread if anything but pure Bryce is used.

There is always that risk... Hmmm, perhaps a new poster?

OK Now here's a weird one. I can see that crazydawg made a post about 10pm yesterday but I don't see it when I open the thread. This is the same thing that dvlenk6 was talking about in the post http://www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/showthread.php?thread_id=2700070 . I have logged out and back in and cleared temp files from IE7.
PS now that I have done all that I still can't see crazydawgs post but i can see (and edit) this one.
Death_at_Midnight posted Mon, 11 June 2007 at 10:03 AM
That only time this has happened to me was when I deleted my own post, but the list that shows who posted last still had my name. Maybe CrazyDawg deleted the post, but part of the system didn't update.

i made a post then deleted it a few minutes later..
I have opinions of my own -- strong
opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.
