#2 A speaker with a major firm that produces motivational seminars said slogans that promote the ideas of cynics can be destructive."It takes a lot of work to motivate people, but only one sourpuss to turn an office into a bunch of sourpusses," he said, asking to remain anonymous. I think there's actually a demotivation poster for this guy. Sometimes the only way to improve morale is to fire all of the unhappy people. I forget which quality it's supposed to be, because my net connection is rather demotivated at the moment...

#3 Do they stock my favorite demotivational poster? We had it in the breakroom of EBS-Zaragoza for a long time: "The beatings will continue until morale improves!"

#5 Sgt Mom, they have simular fare but probably stayed away from the exact quote to avoid intellectual property infringement. The little Valentine candy hearts are excellent. One says, "LUV 2 STALK U." :-)

#7 I had two favorites at Schierstein, Germany, when I worked there in the late '80's: "Cheer up, there are only four more Mondays before the weekend!", and Sure Hope It's Tuesday (use the first letters of each word).

#8 Oops, they mentioned that one already. I guess that should teach me to post in a hurry. Doh! Anyway, some favorites: Ambition, Persistance, and of course, Demotivation. Hop on over and have a laugh.
