Everyone is getting this book handed out to them at work here:

http://strengths.gallup.com/110440/Abou ... der-2.aspx

What the fuck is this corporate bullshit? This thing reads like a self-help book. How can anyone with an ounce of self respect read this and not be offended by categorizing themselves into a nice black & white, five point, neat little Powerpoint-esque, "Strength"?

I want to write a 300+ page book that can be summarized with a simple, "Don't be a fuck up, you don't have to like your co-workers but you do have to work with them, be honest and rational." because shit, Wall Street buys that crap like hotcakes and I can retire at 25.

I like how the book tries to be trendy by putting "2.0" in the title. Silly book, you are not software, you don't have version numbers or revision numbers.

For the record - in case anyone cares - I've seen sites get hacked by Turkish hackers in the past. I used to admin for a long-defunct PHPbb message board for a website called videocartel.com

The site got hacked by a hacker who claimed to be Turkish and posted lovely animated .gifs of a waving Turkish flag all over the front page. It got fixed in a few days and we all had a good laugh at it. Needless to say there were a lot of jokes posted at Turkey's expense the next day.

What do they eat for Thanksgiving in Turkey? Puritans! :lol: :lol: :lol:
