feelopen 0 #1 June 2, 2003 A govt. employee I know sent me this today: We have all been to those meetings where someone wants over 100%. How about achieving 103%? Here's a little math that might prove helpful. So If: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z is represented as: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26. Then: H A R D W O R K is extrapolated as: 8 1 18 4 23 15 18 11 = 98% K N O W L E D G E as: 11 14 15 23 12 5 4 7 5 = 96% But, A T T I T U D E as: 1 20 20 9 20 21 4 5 = 100% And, B U L L S H I T as: 2 21 12 12 19 8 9 20 = 103% So, it stands to reason that hard work and knowledge will get you close, attitude will get you there, and bullshit will put you over the top. But, look how far ass kissing will take you. A S S K I S S I N G as: 1 19 19 11 9 19 19 9 14 7 = 118% So the next time someone asks you to give more than 100%, you know what is required of you.
