Title: Kickass Work Ethic Role Models!
Post by: "couldbecousin" on April 26, 2017, 11:12:05 AM
  I read this line in 1985, at age 19, in a People Magazine article about the hardest-working celebrities,
   and it has stayed with me forever.  When I think about it I glow with happiness and ambition.  :)

  "It surprised absolutely no one that, when a bomb went off in her
   hotel at 2:54 a.m., Margaret Thatcher, 59, was still working."   :chores:

   Seriously, the work ethic in that one line is what I aspire to. 
   I haven't lived up to it, but there's still time.  :viking:

   Who are your work ethic role models?  :)

A world with just Jacks or Meowsy McDermotts would be very boring.

That's correct, but imagine all the work that would get done.

It's a good thing I don't work so I don't need ethics.  :zoinks:

My favorite cartoon (from the 1960's)

Two hippie females were walking down the street.  On of them says, "You know housework is a drag.  You sweep the floor, you do the dishes, make the bed and 6 weeks later you have to do it all again."

I only post on the clock.  Or rather, I don't punch a clock so am always on the clock.

How convenient. Don't punch a clock either; it's an expression. No one is paying me to waste time online.

I don't post while working. This isn't the kind of place you want them to trace. :zoinks:

I don't come here when at college. Especially as I may scroll to a picture I don't want others to see that I'm looking at. There's no privacy at college.

Would fully expect to be monitored in a university.

I direct the IT monitoring P&P, so I'm safe.

  Some people have the gift of inspiring with very few words.  A girl at my job is one of those.
  A couple of co-workers were causing drama, and she told them, "Just do your fucking work!"  ::)

Yeah, there's no room in the hut for a trumpet and flourish.
