The title today comes from an entertaining exchange that Douglas Adams wrote between Zaphod Beeblebrox and Ford Prefect.
They were on a ship, diving into a sun. Zaphod asks how many escape pods there are, and Ford says, “None.”
Zaphod, his mind clearly elsewhere, says, as best as I can recall “None? Did you count them?”
To which Ford says, “Yes. Twice.”
They do escape death in a burning ship, though.
Imagine they gave a meeting and nobody came. One reason I am happy to avoid management is to avoid weekly staff meetings. Now a “voluntary” meeting. He better have more than stale donuts and cheap coffee. OH, Mal doesn’t have any coffee there for the volunteers.
At the crack of noon the meeting began. They met at the table donuts it hand. They looked out across the vacant room and counted up the missing. One upon one, none upon none. The meeting was over before it had begun. Two little managers playing a game. They gave a meeting and nobody came. And nobody came.
Double thumbs up.
Hah, next page says I was right.
If the only way Mal is going to get people on his team is to make offerings that fatten them up, his road to management heaven is going to be a lot rockier than he knows.
Hey friends…on April 23rd, 2018, in Toronto…10 people were killed and 15 others injured by a rampaging driver.
A GoFundMe page has been set up by a Muslim group, to help families, first responders etc. We won’t forget the brave officer who chose not to shoot the perpetrator…but we will go on…we are #TorontoStrong

There’s just TOO MUCH INSANITY!! ??
Thanks for filling us in….
Ok. Those “??” Were SUPPOSED to be crying emoticons. Grph…
:'(
THAT is for sure… I’m safe (obviously…) BUT it has affected me emotionally … I’ve lived in Toronto for nearly 12 years … there aren’t any words to describe my feelings right now.
I’m majorly surprised nobody wanted to come because: meeting means you get to sit there and not do much to get paid, and DONUTS… um. I’m very surprised.
Attendance is interpreted as commitment to join Mal’s Stanky Creek fest team. No donut is worth that level of consequence.
sorry, Nitwit but…not everyone is dumb enough to want to join YOUR team.
they don’t have a ‘death wish’ to be honest.
If it would become a Company covered event (‘other duties as assigned’ on the ol’ job description) and you can get Workman’s Comp for getting hurt, you could end up getting some people to join the team. Mal’s Snivelling Toadies and Weasels… what a batch, eh?
creepy team for me lol
