Subject: 100%


This is a strictly mathematical viewpoint...it goes like this:

What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about
those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to
those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about
achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these
questions:

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%

and


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%

AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.

A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that While Hard work and
Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the
Bullshit and Ass kissing that will put you over the top.
 
That was great Eric! Thanks for sharing it.





Funny how something like that can bring out the malcontents...oh but wait...just about anything on this board has the capability of bringing out CERTAIN malcontents.

I cant imagine what it would be like going through life being combative....just to be combative.
 
Don't you know at this job it is easy to give more than 100%. Figure it this way. All of you know that there are people that work at US that don't give 100% and they never lose their jobs. Let's just say that they only work 50%, so now 50% is what you need just to keep your job. So working 50% is 100% of what you need to keep your job. So anyone works harder than 50% is giving more than 100%. :blink: So do the math.
 
for once I hate to say it I agree with 700uw send this one to the water cooler ,where is mr moderator now the one who decides what goes on this board???
LOL HERE WE GO IAM DID NOT LIKE WHAT WAS POSTED NOW WE ARE IN THE WATER COOLER. :censored: :censored: :censored:
were is page two (IAM) mods
I THINK ITS TIME TO VOTE A IBT MOD IN. :shock: :shock:
 
I knew it would end up in the water cooler, but I wanted to share this funny peice with my friends directly. Okay so now it's in the water cooler...big deal. Hope ya'll enjoyed it.
 
if you are an employee and laid off or take a voluntary furlough for for three years you have given back 100% for three years...

it annoys me when people say lets give 110%... then why not give like 150%?? its stupid, 100% is 100%!!

I believe that when someone talks about giving over 100% they are talking about giving an extra effort. For example, if a flight attendant was required to serve drinks only once on a flight to do 100% of their job and another flight attendant chooses to do two drink servings then their extra effort would be considered doing 200%. I know it is a silly way to look at things but I believe all extra efforts are commendable no matter you label them.
