Scott Adams quotes about
wasting-time moron meetings
Always Postpone Meetings with Time-wasting Morons
names hands shakes
I can't memorize names and shake hands at the same time.
love-you fighting hunting
If you work in the city long enough, it begins to deal with you on a personal level. Streets reveal their moods. Sometimes the signal light loves you. Sometimes they fight you. When you're hunting for a new building, you hope the city is on your side. You have to use a little bit of thinking--you might call it the process of elimination--and you need a little bit of instinct, but not too much of either. If you think too hard, you overshoot your target and end up at the Pier or the Tenderloin. If you relax and let the city help, the destination does all the work for you.
long world natural
The world isn't fair, but as long as it's tilting in my direction, I find that there's a natural cap to my righteous indignation.
religious ideas people
The core belief that drives terrorism is the notion of a "holy place," along with the idea that some people belong there and other people don't. That's why the only solution to terrorism is for religious scholars to hold a global summit to agree on the definition of "holy place." Once they agree on a definition, it will be easier to mock it into submission.

I should have written that down. - Dilbert
mushrooms please ifs
If our mushrooms make you hallucinate, please inform us immediately so we can overcharge you.
being-yourself believe mean
What does it mean to be yourself?” he asked. “If it means to do what you think you ought to do, then you’re doing that already. If it means to act like you’re exempt from society’s influence, that’s the worst advice in the world; you would probably stop bathing and wearing clothes. The advice to ‘be yourself’ is obviously nonsense. But our brains accept this tripe as wisdom because it is more comfortable to believe we have a strategy for life than to believe we have no idea how to behave.
cutting half computer
The computer cuts my production time in half. I love it.
team proactive form
Let's form proactive synergy restructuring teams.
investors
I'm primarily just an investor.
sometimes restaurants draws
I would sometimes sit in a crowded restaurant, and say, 'You know, I'm the only person in this restaurant who can't draw.'
