A whimsical look at a prayer for modern times in case you haven’t seen it before previously (22nd Blog Your Blessings Sunday)
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I had to kill today because they made me mad. Also, help me to be careful of the toes I step on today, as they may be attached to the ass I may have to kiss tomorrow.
Help me to always give 100% at work:-
Monday – 12%
Tuesday – 23%
Wednesday – 40%
Thursday – 20%
Friday – 5%
And help me to always remember… When I’m having a really bad day, and it seems that people are *trying* to piss me off, that it takes 42 muscles to frown and only 4 to extend my middle finger.
Amen!
LOL…
Hope you have a great week and you give your 100%!!!
Stev: Giving 101% in fact. You too bro

Muahahahahaha
Not so much of something the young should learn so soon eh
However said that, I guess it will be not a prayer but a recipe for success
Stev: Shhh. Not so loud else em young uns might overhear
I think the main thing it’s trying to say is… ‘relak-laarr’

wow… i sooooo agree to tat! CHEERS mate!!
^_^
p.s only difference is tat when i give 100% at work it’s:-
Monday – 5%
Tuesday – 5%
Wednesday – 5%
Thursday – 5%
Friday – 1%
saturday + sunday – 79% play
Stev: LOL. That’s a super-flawed equation there. Glad that you can achieve so much with just 5%!

I bought that tshirt for my husband. He loves it. People will come up and say, “I just love that t-shirt.” Then they read the entire thing and they look up horrified and walk off. LOL
Stev: Can just imagine the expressions on their faces *chuckles*. neat story.

i have that prayer for the stressed picture actually
http://chaosboredom.blogspot.com/2005/10/day-nine.html
which of course… i printed it out and put it in my room door when i was in campus. and now that im no longer there, i stuck it outside my room door. so the first thing you see will be that!
at this point, i’d wish i could tell the whole world that….
Stev: Wow. You actually searching it out of your archives back from 2005! Mmm. Maybe I should put it on my cubicle door too…

stev,
I love the original prayer, but also love the make-overs for it! You could go on and on with those. Blessings to you on this day.
Stev: It’s all fun & games. Have a great week ahead there too Lorna!

It’s good to see someone approach life in such a lite and humorous way. Why choose to be unhappy when you could always chose to live each day in happiness. It’s your choice. You’ve got it right! I love that T-shirt too.
Stev: Hmmm. Very simple yet deep-ringing truth there. Life’s all bout choices huh.

Goodness me. Your version’s not bad… I like the apportioning of the % tho. Can I borrow it for my own use. Kakakakaa.
Stev: Yeah we all need to learn to use our time by % wisely
Incidentally then employers should take note that Wednesday is the most productive day in the week…
