This one is hanging in my office ("management" is a part of my job description): http://images.despair.com/products/demotivators/gettowork.jpg This one graces the tech support area: http://images.despair.com/products/demotivators/apathy.jpg In all, I think we have about ten posters from this collection: http://despair.com/viewall.html Sometimes I do have to explain to new people that the messages are meant to be funny. :-) > I'm sure Olin would agree.
