As regular readers know once a month I lighten the tone of my posts with a funny entry, such as our post in October on The Top 10 Funny Quotes About Work , rather than one centered on recruitment advice, so it seems fitting that the final post of 2009 falls into the lighthearted category so we can end, what has been a difficult year for many jobseekers, with a smile.

01. Teamwork is essential, that way you can always blame someone else.

02. Planning is the art of putting off until tomorrow what you have no intention of completing today.

03. Budgeting is a method of watching your money disappear methodically.

04. I never said it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

05. Computers will never replace human stupidity.

06. If it wasn’t for the last minute, nothing would ever get done around here.

07. To err is to human but to really mess things up requires a password.
