  • Your supervisor hasn't the ability to do your job assignment.
  • You sit in a cubicle smaller than your bedroom closet.
  • Salaries of the members on the Executive Board are higher than all the Third World countries' annual budgets combined.
  • Weekends are those days your spouse makes you stay home.
  • Being sick is defined as can't walk or you're in the hospital.
