Inspirational Choke


Hard to believe... when I started working, there was no Internet, no email, no texting and certainly no Facebook!  Everything came through on fax.  On thermal paper.  (There's a whole section of history lost because of the fading properties of thermal paper!)  Jokes, spam, personal letters, all came through on the ole fax machine.  I had a fax of this cartoon pinned to the wall over my desk for a long time.  (I had to find this copy online, as the copy I had disappeared!)

I won't lie... I was most discouraged this morning (with the events of the previous day) and was ready to pack it all in.  "What's the point in all this?" I asked myself.  Then I received a timely, encouraging and supportive email (thank you... I think you know who you are!)  ... and I remembered this funny cartoon, and it's somehow given me the boost I needed to keep moving forward.

Don't ever, EVER give up.
