Murphy's Laws On Work
Everything can be filed under 'miscellaneous.'
Never delay the ending of a meeting or the beginning of a cocktail hour.
To err is human, to forgive is not company policy.
Important letters that contain no errors will develop errors in the mail.
There is never enough time to do it right the first time, but there is always enough time to do it over.
If you are good, you will be assigned all the work. If you are really good, you will get out of it.
If it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would get done.
At work, the authority of a person is inversely proportional to the number of pens that person is carrying.
No one gets sick on Wednesdays.
The longer the title, the less important the job.
Once a job is fouled up, anything done to improve it makes it worse.
Success is just a matter of luck, just ask any failure.
