We've added another feature today… a random quote for each visitor….

“So when it comes down to it, a calorie is a calorie is a calorie… There is only one moral of the story: burn as many damn calories as possible whenever you work out.” - Jillian Michaels Winning by Losing (Biggest Loser Trainer)

Jillian is discussing ideal workout intensity. The age old debate between higher burning, high intensity, work outs verses low intensity “fat burning” work outs. Surprise, surprise… it’s not about target zones, magic formulas or special tricks. It’s about burning more calories than you eat.

“The ladies of The View are glittering jewels of colossal ignorance who think they’re the smartest people in the room.” - Rush Limbaugh

“Where a calculator on the ENIAC is equipped with 19,000 vacuum tubes and weighs 30 tons, computers in the future may have only 1,000 vacuum tubes and perhaps only weigh 1.5 tons.”" - Popular Mechanics, March 1949.

“If I’m not back in five minutes.. wait longer” - Jim Carrey, Ace Ventura Pet Detective

And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire… If you listen closely to Milton throughout the movie you will hear him mumble the following after most of his conversations: "Ok… set the building on fire…" — Milton Waddams, Office Space

And finally, last but certainly not least. Here is a copy of a memo, I created - in homage to Office Space - back when I was working for AT&T. Anyone that screwed up received multiple copies of this memo. And yes, on my last day with AT&T, I treated my team to the epic saga: Office Space. Aah, those were the days, Corporate America!
