Weekend Wisdoms: Words to Live By.

Nothing I hate more than a Friday afternoon meeting!
I used to work out of Indonesia (the largest Islamic republic in the world -- 220 million of them) a lot for several years on a project -- like there once a month -- for a few days to sometimes a week each trip. Yes, my Bahasa Indonesia is passable now.
A lot of government organisations offered Friday afternoons off for prayers -- for a couple of hours or more including not bothering in returning to the office.
The funny thing was most of the folks (who were Muslims) that I dealt with were either out for golf or fecking their mistresses, the old afternoon delight on Friday afternoons.
I would be back to my hotel having my siesta or an afternoon drink with a view.
(My hotel in Bandung Indonesia)
So I guess those folks must have listened to my Wisdom Guru -- Do whatever it takes to avoid afternoon meetings including inventing a religion just to avoid them.
Indonesia is a country that is full of contradictions.

Never, Ever, pay attention to ANYONE who would put pineapple on a pizza!
