Demotivated :-(

Last week I caught a glimpse of a calender with those ubiquitous corporate motivational posters lying on a colleague’s desk. This reminded me that I had not stopped by Despair.com in awhile to see if they had a whole new set of Demotivator posters for 2005.

Unfortunately, being the demotivated individuals that they are, they didn’t come up with any new ones this year and just recycled their old ones with a “Best of” collection. Oh well. Below is one of my favorites—(Procrastination).

Procrastination: Hard Work Often Pays Off After Time, but Laziness Always Pays Off Now.

BTW, my workplace has their Indifference poster hanging on a wall. It’s funny how a healthy, honest dose of cynicism can actually be a morale booster.

Hi! I have never heard of a demotivator-site until now; think it is kind of funny :) Thanks for showing me!

No problem. I figured that almost everyone has seen the original “positive” ones, but not everyone has stumbled across the “alter-ego” ones.

A sidenote—as a joke in 1998, Despair.com filed for and since 2001 now actually holds a registered trademark for the “frowny” emoticon.

I first saw one of these calendars this year, but had no idea where they came from. Being too “demotivated”, I never googled it myself. Glad I came upon your site. Thanks for rewarding my laziness!

LAZINESS - Success is a Journey, Not a Destination. So Stop Running.
