Lord, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I cannot accept and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people I had to kill today because they pissed me off....

And also help me to be more careful of the toes I step on and the hands I bite as they may be connected to the ass that I may have to kiss tomorrow.

Help me to give 100% at work ...
12% on Monday
23% on Tuesday
20% on Wednesday
40% on Thursday
5% on Friday

And help me to remember ... When I'm having a bad day, and it seems that people are trying to piss me off, that it takes 42 muscles to frown and only 4 to extend my middle finger and tell them to bite me.
Amen
