Working for “Sweat and Blood” Money
December 2, 2005 3 Comments
Every day, I am surrounded by job hazards. Now, I can truly understand why my dad said he worked sweat and blood for our lives.
Since the day I decided to go into business, my mama warned me not to partner any friends or family members in business. Money matters turns friendship ugly. It brings out the worst in people…. Just like the golden band in Lord of the Rings – we will lose control of ourselves. If we partner "not-so-close" people in our business, we can always plot their deaths later. But it is very wrong to murder your own friends and family members over business matters. I guess this is what she meant…
So, every day, I must remind myself to watch my back… preparing myself from any terrorist’s attack. Cos’ we have no friend in business… just benefit buddies and pay masters. My NS training has taught me well, I must be offensive – be pro-active – go out and take down my targets first – before they can be a real threat to me later. (I didn’t act fast in my last venture – that is why I was conned so badly by that son-of-the-bitch asshole, bastard, dickless donkey!)
Since that day, I have 100% no tolerance for office politics, back-stabbers, stingy colleagues, cranky designers, cheating partners and grumpy old office janitor.
So, yesterday, after plotting for an intense and most detailed attack strategy, I decided to go into action (with an ally) after 10 minutes of serious planning. (Attached images are unsuitable for the typical, safe boring office workers)
At least now I can go home and tell my wife and son that daddy did fight (sweat and blood) his life off for their daily bread. 😛

Tats insane Joe!!! hahaha! but i like the new philosophy. I am approaching my work a little like that too….i realized that sometimes my niceness is just an invitation for people to take advantage of it…so now i am putting my foot down more often…while trying to maintain a facade of professionalism and fairness. …it’s hard but i know i gotta do it. take care dude and beware of office politics, back-stabbers, stingy colleagues, cranky designers, cheating partners, grumpy old office janitors, and most of all the son-of-a-bitch asshole, bastard, dickless donkey ! hahahadave
