GAME ON!

When there's no rule specifying email signature usage or format at work, some people add little quotes or if they're really gung ho (or in a position that requires they appear to be), the organization's motto (ours changes annually, and has been getting worse every year).

Some examples from my inbox:
"[our org name]… where customers drive!"

"From birth, man carries the weight of gravity on his shoulders. He is bolted to earth. But man has only to sink beneath the surface and he is free. " -Jacques Cousteau (1910-1997)

This year's motto (I swear this is actually posted after people's contact info):

It's all about our Customers
It happens because of our People
It happens in the Details
It happens with Fast Starts, Teamwork, and Precision
It only happens if we deliver

Deliver as Promised!

...Succinct, huh? We were going to get it printed on T-shirts, but no one is tall enough.

Because there isn't a bandwagon around that we won't perversely drive into a wall of immaturity, some of us have started a new game, involving ludicrous or undermining quotes, the higher-placed the recipient, the better. Who'll blink first?

Some early installments:
"It is only out of sheer morbid curiosity that I am allowing this freak show to continue."

"She's polishing the brass on the Titanic, man." -Tyler Durden

Please feel free to play amongst yourselves, spreading the happy light to all the dark corners of the world. (Hey, that's a good one! I'll have'ta try it.)
