SPECIAL BULLETIN: CDC Alert The Centers for Disease Control has issued a medical alert about a highly contagious, potentially dangerous virus that is transmitted orally, by hand, and even electronically. This virus is called: Weekly Overload Recreational Killer (WORK) If you receive WORK from your boss, colleagues or anyone else via any means whatsoever DO NOT TOUCH IT!!! This virus will wipe out your private life entirely. If you should encounter WORK, you should immediately leave the premises. Go to the nearest package store and purchase one or both of the following antidotes; Work Isolating Neutralizer Extract (WINE) or Bothersome Employer Elimination Re-booter (BEER). Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been eliminated from your system. You should immediately forward this medical alert to five friends. If you do not have five friends, you have already been infected and WORK is controlling your life.

The “hurrieder” I go, the “behinder” I get.

Stress…A Necessary Evil Good stress allows us to get many things done in a short period of time, although multitasking does not really work effectively.

Reason to deal with stress
