If you did not bring lunch, beware the thought of taking of with your colleagues’ lunch.

As part of our job, we sometimes have to write letters and memos.  If you are like me, I have a set of standard templates that I go to first before creating anything from scratch.  However, from time to time, I will look at a template and find something grammatically wrong.  Believe me, I am no grammar genius, and there are times when I will need to do a quick check of myself.  One great source that I have found helpful is a website called Grammar Girl.  It is a great site where you can get really cool refresher tips to spruce up your grammar and your writing.  With the help of Grammar Girl’s “quick and dirty tips” you will get immediately back on track. 

Oh, and if feel as if you need a bit more in-depth grammar counseling, Grammar Girl also has her own grammar book to help you along.  So ladies, when you feel like a quick refresher on grammar, take a quick trip over to Grammar Girl.

Sometimes, in our jobs we encounter difficult days or situations, and sometimes you just need something to help you snap out of it.  As I thought a bit more, I remembered the old proverb which states that laughter is usually the best medicine for a tough situation.  So if you are having a tough Monday, I hope this is just the right medicine for you:

Three men were hiking through a forest when they came upon a large raging, violent river. Needing to get to the other side, the first man prayed, ‘God, please give me the strength to cross the river’. 
Poof! God gave him big arms and strong legs and he was able to swim across in about 2 hours, having almost drowned twice.

After witnessing that, the second man prayed, ‘God, please give me strength and the tools to cross the river’. 
Poof!  God gave him a rowboat and strong arms and strong legs and he was able to row across in about an hour after almost capsizing once.

Seeing what happened to the first two men, the third man prayed, ‘God, please give me the strength, the tools and the intelligence to cross the river’.
Poof!  He was turned in to a woman She checked the map, hiked one hundred yards up stream and walked across the bridge.

Now, didn’t this one make you laugh out loud too?
