I’m cleaning house here at Casa del Garrett, going through tons of old stuff, and I got into a storage bin I have of posters that go back to my teen years.  I found one titled Peter’s Laws.  I’m not going to keep it…it really isn’t my style.  But I know why it found its way into my collection: it’s hilarious.  Well…I think it is.  Here’s a few of them…

• If anything can go wrong…fix it.  To hell with Murphy.
• When given a choice, take both.
• Multiple Projects lead to multiple successes.
• When forced to compromise, ask for more.
• If you can’t beat them, join them.  Then beat them.
• If you can’t win, change the rules.
• If you can’t change the rules, ignore them.
• Perfection is not optional.
• When faced without a challenge, make one.
• "No", simply means begin again at one higher level.
• The faster you move, the slower time passes, the longer you live

This poster was subtitled, The Creed Of The Sociopathic Obsessive Compulsive.  I can’t imagine why.  Like I said, I’m not going to keep it, it’s not my style.  But there are times when I get like this.  I can’t imagine being like that all the time though.  You don’t always need to be relentless.  It’s good to step back from time to time and just watch the chaos happen.  You see things you wouldn’t have otherwise seen.  Life takes you places you would never have guessed would be interesting.
