Bacchus Rants

Things I think about, quotes I live by, issues that need my input. So in essense, just some random stuff. Since I wasn’t smart enough to document the names of some of the original authors, let’s just assume that none of these are my orginal thoughts unless indicated. If you can identify the original author for any of these, please let me know so I can update the list.

3. Don’t pick your nose in the company parking lot.–Ed Bacchus

4. Playing Cards: If your dealt a bad hand in life, it forces you to play smarter. Don’t ever play cards with me for money. You’ll end up making a deposit to BJ’s college fund.

6. Blamestorming: Sitting around in a group discussing why a deadline was missed or a project failed. and who was responsible.–Author Unknown
