A prayer for the stressed ...

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people I had to kill today because they pissed me off; and also, help me to be careful of the toes I step on today as they may be connected to the butt that I'll have to kiss tomorrow; and help me to always give 100% at work ... 12% on Monday, 23% on Tuesday, 40% on Wednesday, 20% on Thursday, 5% on Fridays; and help me to remember ... When I'm having a really bad day and it seems that people are lining up to step on the last shred of my very last nerve, that it takes 42 muscles to frown, and only 4 to extend my middle finger and tell

them to bite me.
