Hi, I will say, then, that you have a 'bad' boss. I KNOW when 'my people' are sitting and doing 'nothing' that they are sitting and thinking...or maybe even gathering and mustering their wits to do SOMETHING. A.A. Marlena, when your people are sitting and doing nothing, most likely they are sitting and doing nothing. MinM: But, I will send out a tease: Life IS worth living...and (here's the crux <g>)...EACH of you who has posted [shame on you, you lurkers <g>]] have GIVEN to the UNIVERSE. A.A. This is a classic example of the metaphysics of doing. The doing in this case is the standing back and watching all the little ants torture other little ants while the Universe does nothing at all. More than a conceptual truth I daresay. MinM: and, the UNIVERSE says THANKS. A.A. With a coupon to the Olive Garden perhaps? MinM: and the world is better for you having been Alive. A.A. Including Saddam, et al.? MinM: So...please do NOT stop giving and living...even if you do not know the 'whom' your lives are affecting... A.A. Confucius say, no good deed goes unpunished ... Metaphysically yours. Andy in New York Most assuredly yours, Marlena in Missouri ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
