Are people constantly upset because they didn’t like where everyone else wanted to go?Are you caught in the rut of the same old place every day?
Well, that’s why we invented the Lunch Goddess. There is no longer any debate over where we go for lunch because the Lunch Goddess knows best…
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.

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.
