You might be in the Aviation/Defense industry if....
« on: June 03, 2008, 11:15:30 AM »
1. You sat at the same desk for 4 years and  worked for 8  different  managers.
 Or have moved 10 times in two years and have  never known who your boss was.

 2. Your resume is on a jumpdrive in your  pocket.

 3. Someone asks you what you do for a living  and you lie.

 4. You get really excited about a 2% pay  increase.

 5. Your biggest loss from a system crash, is  that you lose your best jokes.

 6. You sit in a cubicle smaller than your  bedroom closet.

 7. Its dark on your drive to and from work.

 8. Fun is when 'projects' are assigned to  someone else.

 9. Communication is something your 'group' is  having problems with.

 10. You see a good-looking person and know it's  a visitor! .

 1 1. Free food left over from a meeting is your  main staple.

 12. All art involves a white board.

 13. All real work is done prior to 8:00am and  after 4:30pm.

 14. You're already late on the assignment you  just received.

 15. Dilbert is your favorite cartoon.

 16. Your boss's favorite lines are ...
  'When you get a few minutes ...'
  'I have an opportunity for you ...'
  'Cross-charging is forbidden.'
  ' We have a new engineering vice-president.'
  This reorganization will allow us to streamline  our way of  doing business, of becoming more competitive.'
  17. 99% of the people in your company do not  know what you do.
  18. 99% of the people in your company do not  care what you do.

19. Vacation is something you rollover to next  year or a check you get every January.

 20. Change is the norm.

 21. Nepotism is strongly encouraged .

 22. Your company announces no pay increase  because it is investing money in a new aircraft development.

 23. Your company announces no pay increase  because the airline industry is in a downturn'
 and your boss gets voted 'man of the year in aerospace '

 24. Your fear to fly is becoming even worse.

 25. Everyone at the company says that without  his work there would be no aircraft.

 26. An ordinary secretary has more power than  an old engineer.

 27. You read this entire list and understand it.

Y'know about 90% of those can apply to occupations other than aerospace. ;)
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

First thing I thought of, and now and forever my mental image of Rip.....

Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

"So I'm the bad guy now?"
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB
