You will always get the greatest recognition for the job you least like. No one gets sick on Wednesdays. The longer the title, the less important the job. Machines that have broken down will work perfectly when the repairman arrives. All vacations and holidays create problems, except for one's own.
Success is just a matter of luck, just ask any failure.
If you can't get your work done in the first 24 hours, work nights. It doesn't matter what you do, it only matters what you say you've done and what you're going to do. After any salary raise, you will have less money at the end of the month than you did before. People who go to conferences are the ones who shouldn't. At work, the authority of a person is inversely proportional to the number of pens that person is carrying.
