Peter's Laws

The Creed of the Sociopathic Obsessive Compulsive

If anything can go wrong, FIX IT! (To hell with Murphy!)
When given a choice, Take Both!
Multiple projects lead to multiple successes.
Start at the top then work your way up.
Do it by the book...but be the author.
When forced to compromise, ask for more.
If you can't beat them, join them, then beat them.
If it's worth doing, it's got to be done RIGHT NOW.
If you can't win, change the rules.
If you can't change the rules, then ignore them.
Perfection is not optional.
When faced without a challenge, make one.
"No" simply means begin again at one level higher.
Don't walk when you can run.
Bureaucracy is a challenge to be conquered with a righteous attitude, a tolerance for stupidity, and a bulldozer when necessary.
When in doubt: THINK!
Patience is a virtue, but persistence to the point of success is a blessing.
The squeaky wheel gets replaced.
The faster you move, the slower time passes, the longer you live.

This is from my favorite poster, that I've had on my wall for a long time. They might as well be called "Mike's Laws". I have no idea who "Peter" is. I don't even remember where I got the poster from.
