Herein lyeth wordes of grat wisedom.

Oh, this is great, Rhuby! I especially like CONSULTING

"If you're not a part of the solution, there's good money to be made in prolonging the problem."

And if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. Anon.

I've always heard it as "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."

Unhappily, this is also often a fine definition of lawyering.

Apathy (cross-thread topic):

"If we don't take care of the customer, maybe they'll stop bugging us."

I have a problem with pronoun reference agreement, but, other than that, this is a pretty good commentary on apathy. The photograph of the cobweb-covered telephone is pretty cool, too.

There are things thou canst do for problems of this sort. It is curable.

"I've always heard it as "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."

Many times the precipitate is the product. Many solutions are worthless.

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said, "Six vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert
And on the pedestal these words appear,
My name is Ozymandias, King of Ants
Look on my feelers, termites, and despair!
I am the biggest ant you'll ever see
The ants of old weren't half as big and bold
And fierce as me!"

I met a traveller from an antique show,
His pockets empty, but his eyes aglow.
Upon his back, and now his very own,
He bore two vast and trunkless legs of stone.
Amid a torrent of collector's jargon
I gathered he had found himself a bargain,
A permanent conversation piece post-prandial,
Certified genuine early Ozymandial
And when I asked him how he could be sure,
He showed me P. B. Shelley's signature.

Not that it doesn't bear repeating. I'm just sayin'. Great minds, eh Rhuby?

CONSULTING

"If you're not a part of the solution, there's good money to be made in prolonging the problem."

Hey! I'm a consultant of sorts and I resemble that statement!

Have seen this site before, have the Ineptitude, Pessismism, Procrastination(a personal fave), Defeat and Mistakes pics up around my desk. Thanks Rhuby & FiberBabe for sharing here.
