  • Help! I need a motto!!!

    So, um, yeah, I got a new job.

    Same company, different department (supply chain). So today I was moving my cubical bit by bit in between showing my coworker a few last reports and whatnot. A little before the end of the day I stopped in my new boss's office and she showed me a few things, one of them being the department's Sharepoint site, which I looked at briefly the other day when I got an email telling me my profile had been set up. There is a picture of a badger, which is apparently our mascot . She said there is a contest to come up with a department motto (bonus points if it makes a good acronym) and the director will pick the winner.

    Any ideas?

    All the ones I can think of off the top of my head are too sarcastic. Things like. "Supplies? We don't need no stinking supplies." (points for reference ) Would need a bit more info to come up with a good one.

        I have to admit - the first that came to mind, similar to Mystical was "We don't need no stinkin' badgers!"

          Sad to say the first thing that came to my mind was "GFY".....

            Department(distribution?)
            Gets
            Everything
            Right(ready, running?)

            or
            Bottomline:
            Accuracy,
            Details(delegation, direction)
            Guarantees(gets)
            Everything
            runs(running)

                I would need more information about the computer and/or the department (basically whoever is in need of the new motto), but this is something I have been known to be pretty good at, being not only a writer and a wordsmith, but the son of an advertising/marketing/sales man.

                So if you feel comfortable sharing more information about your job with me, I can probably come up with a winner for you.

                No, I don't believe in false modesty. Why ever do you ask?

                  Well considering I haven't actually started the job yet, that'd be kind of hard.

                      Well, when you do, or if you find out more information about it, let me know. Because my creative process does require some information. After all, you can only get out what you put in, and right now, there is just not enough information for anything worthwhile to be produced.
