HOW TO TELL IF YOU NEED TO PRAY AT WORK

* When a co-worker comes in a little too happy singing "good morning" to everyone and you think, "Somebody needs to slap the s#@! out of
her/him"...You need to pray at work.

* When someone comes in and announces, "office meeting in 5 minutes," and you think, "what the f*&% do they want now?"..... You need to pray at work.

* When your computer is mysteriously turned off and you want to say, "which one of you sons of b*&^%$# turned off my computer?"..... You need to pray at work.

* When you and a co-worker are discussing something, and a third person comes in and says, "well at my last office...," and you want to throw a stapler at him...... You need to pray at work.

* When you hear a co-worker call your name and the first thing that crosses your mind is, "what the h*&^ does she want now?" and you try to hide underneath your desk......... You need to pray at work.

* When you are asked to stay late and help do someone else's work and the first thing that pops in your head is, "both of y'all can kiss my a@@!!".... You need to pray at work.

* When you take some vacation time and come back to find a mountain of paperwork sitting on your desk because no one else would do it and you think, "sorry a## M#$^%F%&#s"........ You need to pray at work.

* When you're in the elevator and it stops for someone who stood for five minutes waiting for the darn thing only to go DOWN one floor, and you say "that lazy b$&#^"........ You need to pray at work.

* If you have ever thought about poisoning, choking, punching, slapping or flattening someone's tires that you work with...... You need to pray at work.

* If you avoid saying more than hello or how are you doing to someone because you know it's going to lead to their life story .....You need to pray at work.

* If you know all the words that have been bleeped out....You need to pray at work!

I think if all those are true - you need to quit!

Oh, Mannie! I was trying, I really was - but let out a big ol' belly laugh reading this! (My co-workers know a customer complaint isn't that funny. This is hilarious. I feel so convicted. And wrong. **still giggles uncontrollably**

I'm so glad I'm retired. It was worth getting old for.

Well considering that I work at home alone taking care of little children none of these really apply. However I do believe that there other things that should be on this list that would apply. I do sometimes pray on bad days.

Dear Lord:

I'm guilty of all of the above.

I'm really sorry. However, don't expect me to get any better. Trust me...if you had my job, you'd cuss, too!!!

I used to be a nice person. People actually say that to me. "You used to be such a nice person." It isn't my fault. I got drafted into this job, and nobody else will take it. So, I have evolved appropriately.

Please forgive me for all past, current, and future trespasses.

Sincerely,

Tana

Dear Lord: P.S. I forgot to add the following: Bless you for giving me understanding bosses who never let one of my letters go out on the first draft. Tana

Dear Lord: PSS. Earlier, I forgot to say thanks a BUNCH for forcing me to get the plumbing removed last year. Thankfully, I'm only half the cranky bi....er, broad that I used to be. If you have the time, could you please point that out to the people I deal with regularly? I'm not certain they've noticed the improvement. Sincerely, Tana
