Perspective

Sometimes you just need a little perspective. And when you do, I suggest you spend a moment on the site of Despair.com, a firm that believes:

motivational products create unrealistic expectations, raising hopes only to dash them. That's why we created our soul-crushingly depressing Demotivators® designs, so you can skip the delusions that motivational products induce and head straight for the disappointments that follow!

So, you can avail yourself of posters, coffee mugs and calendars that inspire:

Achievement: You can do anything you set your mind to when you have vision, determination, and an endless supply of expendable labor.

Apathy: If we don't take care of the customer, maybe they'll stop bugging us.

And my personal favorite:

Consulting: If you're not a part of the solution, there's good money to be made in prolonging the problem.

Okay, these aren't for everyone - but they're a good way to measure the sense of humor of your colleagues. Though maybe not your boss.
