Quotes from job performance evaluations

This young lady has delusions of adequacy.
Since my last report, this employee has reached rock bottom and started to dig.
His men would follow him anywhere, but only out of morbid fascination.
This associate is really not so much of a has-been, but more of a definite won't-be.
Works well under constant supervision and cornered like a rat in a trap.
When she opens her mouth, it seems that this is only to change whichever foot was in there.
He sets low personal standards and then constantly fails to achieve them.
This employee is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot.
He would argue with a signpost.
He brings joy - whenever he leaves the room.
I would not allow this employee to breed.
He would be out of his depth in a puddle
A prime candidate for natural deselection
As bright as Alaska in December
If you gave a penny for his thoughts, you'd get change
It takes him 2 hours to work 60 minutes
This employee should go far - and the sooner he starts, the better

It is through woman that ideality is born into the world and - what were man without her!
There is many a man who has become a genius through a woman,
many a one a hero,
many a one a poet,
many a one even a saint;
but he did not become a genius through the woman he married, for through her he only became a privy councillor; he did not become a hero through the woman he married, for through her he only became a general; he did not become a poet through the woman he married, for through her he only became a father; he did not become a saint through the woman he married, for he did not marry, and would have married but one - the one whom he did not marry;
just as the others became a genius, became a hero, became a poet through the help of the woman they did not marry.


Kierkegaard.

 

[Barman58]

A man is incomplete until he meets the right woman ....


Then he's finished

A man is incomplete until he meets the right woman ....


Then he's finished

If a man leaves the right woman does she become the "left" woman?
Then he's "stuffed."!!!!
Left, right, left, right....................

Seize the moment of excited curiosity on any subject to solve your doubts; for if you let it pass, the desire may never return, and you may remain in ignorance.

Not a quote but I picked up Russell Brand's autobiography today and this made me laugh out loud.

For my mum,
the most important woman in my life,
this book is dedicated to you.
Now for God's sake don't read it.
