Life imitates life
There is a financial analyst that sits in front of the office to the main controller at work (my team includes the main controller).
In the analyst's cube, there is one of those demotivational posters. The subject for the poster is "CONSULTANTS". The notable tag line is:
"If you're not a part of the solution,
There's good money to be made in prolonging the problem."
It's funny 'cause it's devastatingly, anguishingly, depressingly, unequivocally true.

That was always one of my favorites, cause it's so true.
There is a sign on the fridge in the NY office that is a white sheet of paper that plainly says, "First, we kill all the consultants."
It's not attributed to anything, but I think that it's actually a quote from some where.
I love the picture for Change. But I'm torn between my favorite poster: Mistakes, Elitism or Destiny. What's your favorite?
Also, I'd like to point out that Beanie is alive and I must assume he'd have let us know if the test had killed Liz. We weren't sure if you guys were still with us. I'd also like to note that he had nothing to say about the beautiful baby pictures, but the consultants poster, he's all over :)
Still trying to recover from the mental picture of you guys with that baby. Sure, she's cute, and yeah I know she's not yours. But. I'm not ready for my friends to start having baby conversations. It's bad enough that I'm going to someone's 30th birthday party this week!
I understand that many people "our age" aren't ready to have kids just yet. What I don't understand is the seeming repulsion to all things baby. Jen has incrementally built this kind of attitude with the visits to her dad's and to Julie and Keith's.
Both of my sisters had all three of their kids by the time they were my age. It's a part of life. Some people will have kids earlier than others, big deal. C'est la vie. There's no need to cringe.
I do not cringe with babies. In fact, if we're airing laundry, told you after my visit to my niece that I was inching closer to being ready. Let's not perpetuate the myth that I'm the hold-up on the baby front, mr. fiftenn years from now when we have a baby...
Just to steal a page from Andrik's playbook (and I'd like to point out that he stole it from Dave Barry's playbook):
"Cringing With Babies" would be a great name for a rock band.
true enough :)
