This is a sad photo in some ways, but cute and meaningful in other ways. This photo reminds me of some of the stupid things we do as leaders. I am also reminded of how stupid multitasking can be. Let's have some fun with this. Can you come up with a caption for this photo? You can submit a funny or serious caption by using the comment section below. This is a creative group/community. Let's see what we can come up with. It should be fun. I will post the best captions along with the name of who submitted it and their web address (if you have one) next week.

Hi, Mike
Gotta love this picture!
Here are my entries:
"Learn to say No? Who has time to learn how to do that!"
"Ya gotta watch that " . . . other duties as assigned" thing."
"Who has the time or energy for reflective thinking in THIS place?"
"Keep your hands off my job! This makes me who I am around here."
"Well,somebody has to clean up the mess around here, right?"
I'll see if I can come up with some other funnier ones. Thanks!
John

Don't just throw the baby out with the bath water-- reassign the kid to a different department!

I knew I should have started younger to work off my share of the Stimulus Package DEBT. One more stimulus bill and the lame duck "gets it," and I am out of here with the bath water.

Without a needs analysis you might be throwing out the most important part of the project.
