Picking a title for this Blog Posting was not easy. Alternative titles just flowed out of me. I could have used, “You Have a Job So Why Ain’t You Working?” or this one would have worked, “Why Are You Just Sitting There?” or this, “Don’t Just Sit There, Do Something!” or, “Are You Asleep?”.
Why are so many “workers” sitting around doing nothing? It’s not their fault because they can’t help themselves. It’s where they are that’s the problem. To be more specific, it’s where their butts are that’s the problem.
If you are their employer, it’s now a
really Big Problem for you and the saddest part is you are the one who paid for
your own Big Problem and you Paid Big Time!
Did you just say, “Huh?!”
Please allow me to explain.

I’ll explain by telling you a story...
There once was a Up And Coming Company that was owned by an Up
And Coming Entrepreneur. This entrepreneur was flush with money because his
employees were top notch and hard working as all get out. He was so grateful to
his hard-working employees that he decided to do something very nice (and very
expensive) for his hard-working employees. No employee was left out because, as
I said, without exception they were all hard workers.
What he did was buy every employee his/her own X-Chair.
Before he made the final decision to authorize this big an expenditure he did
pause for a moment because this was a really large amount of money but he
quickly moved forward with the purchase because he felt his workers deserved
the best because they were the best.
And now for The Rest of the Story...
Six months later the company went out of business.
Are you wondering how this could happen? The chairs were
very expensive but their cost was not the reason the Up And Coming Company
owned by the Up And Coming Entrepreneur went out of business.
It was the chair itself that was the reason for the
company’s demise.
I am the Noticer you are not the Noticer. If you were the
Noticer, you would know why the Up And Coming Company went out of business. X-Chair
actually demonstrated why the Up And Coming Company was going to go out of
business in every X-Chair Commercial they ran on your television.
You should have noticed that all the people sitting in their
X-Chairs in the X-Chair Commercials were not doing anything. They just sat in their
X-Chairs staring into the distance looking content and smiling contentedly.
In other word, they were not working! They were not getting
anything done! They were not doing anything except comfortably getting paid To Do
Nothing in their Extremely Comfortable X-Chairs.
It’s a wonder it took a whole 6 months to go out of
business.
Would I kid u?

Lagniappe: On the other hand maybe it was the cost of the X-Chairs that made the Up
And Coming Business go out of business. I looked up the cost of X-Chairs on the
Internet. The web site quoted the price of a X-Tech Ultimate Executive Office Chair to be, “From $1,899”.
Another way
of saying “From $1,899” is, “$1,899 and Up”. Do you realize how
much Up there is above $1,899?
X-Chair knew
how much Up there was. The Former Up And Coming Entrepreneur never should have said, “Pick out
whichever model you want”.
