You may know that I have now entered “crunch time” at work. I have roughly four weeks to complete a ground-up redesign of a web site that currently contains several hundred pages. To help myself remember to look on the bright side during these next few weeks, I’ve given myself the following WBQotW.

The more you cry, the less you have to pee.

If the stress becomes too much and I break down in tears at my desk, great! I just saved about three minutes worth of bathroom break for the day!

This little axiom came out of a conversation with my coworker, Dave, a few years ago.

YP ≠ MP

Dave has since turned it into a t-shirt on CafePress (Of course, Dave’s shirt uses the C# operator !=).

What you see above is a very geeky, supremely concise way to say, “Just because something is your problem (YP) does not mean it is inherently my problem (MP).” Thus it is not unusual around our office to hear a conversation ended with the phrase, “That would be a YP.”
