The carelessness of some people is very annoying. Take recycling. I have worked w/recycling Al cans at both church and work. Why do people throw trash in the recycling containers?
Now the green committee at work has placed cardboard boxes in the break rooms for recycling plastic containers. No rollout. Just shazam! Result -- people put garbage in the containers.
If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing right!
That'll do, Pig!

obscure computer humor
I wrote this a while back.
Background:
DUQN is Duquesne Systems, a former software vendor (I once worked for them - good company w/good people working on good mainframe software products)
Morino is Morino Associates, a former software vendor
Legent is a former software vendor formed by the merger of those two
Goal a former software vendor bought by Legent
dwarf is one of many small former software vendors bought by Legent
CA is Compter Associates, a software vendor that bought Legent
the math of it all expressed as computer code:
DUQN + Morino = Legent + excitement due to culture clash + 0*progress + bad management
Do i=1 to n
Legent + dwarf = Legent + little result
Enddo
Legent + Goal = Legent + silly t-shirt + lost benefits + layoff(s) + semi-chaos + more bad management
Legent + CA + financial fraud = CA + large job loss + nice severance + lousy service + pissed off (American English) customers + no indictments (statute of limitations ran out too soon)

followup
I just had my laptop memory upgraded by the Geek Squad @ Best Buy. Purchase of the year. Should have had it done sooner.
The kid who was the team leader looks geek, talks geek. But he is a college graduate w/degree in accounting. Has had interviews but no job offers. He is now taking a masters (MBA?).
I asked him why he was working for GS and he said he needed a job. Engaged to be married. Bummer dude. I told him to stay in IT until something opens up.
Wish I had had a job like that when I was in college. Well, ok, I was in IT, called EAM back then.
