If you hate your Job

When you have an 'I Hate My Job' day

Try this out:

Stop at your pharmacy on the way home and go to the Thermometer section and purchase a rectal thermometer made by 'Johnson & Johnson'.
Be very sure you get this brand.

When you get home, lock your doors, draw the curtains and disconnect the phone so you will not be disturbed.
Change into very comfortable clothing and sit in your favorite chair.
Open the package and remove the thermometer.
Now, carefully place it on a table or a surface so that it will not become chipped or broken.

Now the fun part begins.

Take out the literature from the box and read it carefully.
You will notice that in small print there is this statement:

"Every Rectal Thermometer made by 'Johnson & Johnson' is personally tested and sanitized."

Now, close your eyes and repeat out loud five times, 'I am so glad
I do not work in the thermometer quality control department at Johnson & Johnson.'

HAVE A NICE DAY, AND REMEMBER, THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE ELSE WITH A JOB THAT IS MORE OF A PAIN IN THE BUTT THAN YOURS!

As long as they haven't been tested by the same people who test the rectal ones- they may have forgotten or got them mixed up

I hope this isn't too rude:

They must be a interesting company to work for if they employ ass-hxxxs on their staff.

Why would you buy a rectal thermometer to stick in your ear?

Reminds me of a one-liner I heard once from the US Under-Secretary for the interior - he was speaking in a forum and the previous speaker ran on, and on, and left our man only a few minutes to deliver his message. He had just enough time for the opening joke - "Have you heard about the new kind of AIDS that has been identified? It's called 'Hearing AIDS'. You catch it listening to ar@#holes".
