Rules for Elevators

A site dedicated to elevator etiquette.

A few snippets:

• Pay attention to which buttons have been pressed when you enter the elevator. Once a button has been pressed, nothing more can be done. Re-pressing the floor button will not make the elevator get you to your floor any faster. Re-pressing is disrespectful to the person that has already pressed the button and is generally irritating.
• Never, under any circumstances urinate or defecate in en elevator. It is not, and never will be considered funny by anyone.
• If you are going up or down one floor, use the stairs! This rule should especially be observed during peak traffic times like morning and afternoon rush.

A new Jill Wagner commercial?

Very rarely do I dedicate a single post for a friend, but since my buddy Bone is such a fan of Jill Wagner, the girl in the Mercury commercial, I figured what the hey?

I think she may be in another commercial for Crest, but I'm not sure if that is her or not.

View the commercial here and judge for yourself.



And if anyone cares, it looks like she is a graduate of North Carolina State University.

Virtual Sand Art is addicting

How To Make Sand Art
Just click on any color, then put your cursor where you want that color of sand on the canvas.

Hold down the mouse button to make the sand fall. The longer you hold the button down, the more sand will fall.

If you move your mouse around the canvas, sand will spread out. If you hold the cursor in one place, sand will pile up in mounds.

American Management

A Japanese company and an American company decided to have a canoe race on the Missouri River. Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race. On the big day, the Japanese won by a mile.

The Americans, very discouraged and depressed, decided to investigate the reason for the crushing defeat. A management team made up of senior management was formed to investigate and recommend appropriate action.

Their conclusion was the Japanese had 8 people rowing and 1 person steering, while the American team had 8 people steering and 1 person rowing.

So American management hired a consulting company and paid them a large amount of money for a second opinion. They advised that too many people were steering the boat, while not enough people were rowing.

To prevent another loss to the Japanese, the rowing team's management structure was totally reorganized to 4 steering supervisors, 3 area steering superintendents and 1 assistant superintendent steering manager. They also implemented a new performance system that would give the 1 person rowing the boat greater incentive to work harder. It was called the "Rowing Team Quality First Program", with meetings, dinners and free pens for the rower. There was discussion of getting new paddles, canoes and other equipment, extra vacation days for practices and bonuses.

The next year the Japanese won by two miles. Humiliated, the American management laid off the rower for poor performance, halted development of a new canoe, sold the paddles, and canceled all capital investments for new equipment.

The money saved was distributed to the Senior Executives as bonuses and the next year's racing team was outsourced to India.

Good Photo Essay on Bangladesh Shipyard

Man's racist slurs prompt time in black churches

A judge gave Brett Haines a choice Friday: Go to jail or go to church.

The Anderson Township man, convicted of disorderly conduct, immediately chose six weeks of Sunday worship over 30 days in the Hamilton County Justice Center. But there’s a catch. Haines, who was accused of using racial slurs and threatening a black cab driver, must attend services at any one of Cincinnati’s predominantly African-American churches.
