How About Some Career Humor?

This cartoon is from AhaJokes.com.

A taxi passenger tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him a question. The driver screamed, lost control of the car, nearly hit a bus, went up on the footpath, and stopped centimeters from a shop window.

For a second everything went quiet in the cab, then the driver said:“Look mate, don’t ever do that again. You scared me!”.

The passenger apologized and said, ”I didn’t realize that a little tap would scare you so much.”

The driver replied, ”Sorry, it’s not really your fault. Today is my first day as a cab driver - I’ve been driving a van carrying dead Bodies for the last 25 years…….”
A young man, hired by a supermarket, reported for his first day of work. The manager greeted him with a warm handshake and a smile, gave him a broom and said, "your first job will be to sweep out the store."

"But I'm a college graduate," the young man replied indignantly.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know that," said the manager. "Here, give me the broom, I'll show you how."

Coryan Update #4

Got a lot of work in this weekend on the Listonga.com website. I worked on a really fun page (but not all that attractive) called Regularly Updated Lists. You should check it out. It has some fun links. There might be a couple that don't work, but remember that you are peeking in on a site under development. I am still testing the links to see if they are available on an ongoing basis.

Be sure to check back and see how Listonga is developing. You can also read a bit more detail about my work on Listonga at my other blog. Also, let me know what you think by leaving a comment here or email me at jim_coryan@yahoo.com.

I spent last night registering this blog with 30-40 RSS feed websites. It took some time, but right now I am just too cheap to pay someone to do it for me. I also learned a bit and found a couple helpful websites.

I have also found myself not keeping up with everything at work. I've stopped putting in extra hours at work and focus all my spare time on the website development. I need to put some more energy back into work so that I have keeping that a priority. As long as I am employed, I need to give my employer the best I have. As a matter of fact, it's 6:30 p.m. and I am taking a break from an extra long work day. I have about another hour of work before I can head home. So, goodbye for today...and I'm back to work!
