12 Tips From a Staff to a Senior/Manager on How to Enhance the Relationship

1. Never give me work in the morning. Always wait until 5:00 and then bring it to me. The challenge of a deadline is refreshing.

2. If it's really a "rush job", run in and interrupt me every 10 minutes to inquire how it's going. That helps.

3. Always leave without telling anyone where you're going. It gives me a chance to be creative when someone asks where you are.

4. If my arms are full of papers, boxes, books or supplies, don't open the door for me. I need to learn to function as a paraplegic and opening doors is good training.

5. If you give me more than one job to do, don't tell me which is the priority. Let me guess.

6. Do your best to keep me late. I like the office and really have nowhere to go or anything to do.

7. If a job I do pleases you, keep it a secret. Leaks like that could costme a promotion.

8. If you don't like my work, tell everyone. I like my name to be popular in conversation.

9. If you have special instructions for a job, don't write them down. In fact, save them until the job is almost done.

10. Never introduce me to the people you're with. When you refer to them later, my shrewd deductions will identify them.

11. Be nice to me only when the job I'm doing for you could really change your life.

12. Tell me all your little problems. No one else has any and it's nice to know someone is less fortunate.

ah the woes and joys of work!

[competition] uhoh - that evil competitive side of a person that shockingly emerges when video games are near is beginning in me. fortunately or unfortunately, i am getting addicted to nba street. it's all about the blocks and michael olowakandi. on an equally sporty note: i'm in 4th place in fantasy bball! what an accomplishment for meEeeeeeee :D kekekeke!

[it's about time] for two things really -- (1) that i finally post something and (2) that steve finally has a blog!everyone welcome steve to my list of blogs, kekeke :)

inspired by steve's daily postings, i thought i should let my remaining ever decreasing number of readers know what i've been up to. to sum it up:

work.

i think back over the last 3 months of this year (good god, it's already april?!), and the only thing that sticks out in my mind is work. how sad is that? not the other wonderful things i've been up to -- san diego, monterey, brian getting me a gamecube (oh thank you thank you thank you), phil moving to town, charmaine coming to visit, all the fun and happy moments and conversations i've had with friends (i love you all, don't get me wrong). sigh. not to mention the numerous march birthdays! =O (for the latest and greatest pics: march celebrations! )

i hafta say i'm getting better at it though - waking up at 530 in the morning is no big thing anymore. i'm up and at 'em! :D

but boy, does it let me appreciate the little things. when it takes me 40 mins to drive to work instead of 1hr15. going to get a jamba juice in the middle of the day instead of staring into office-space for all 10 hours. coming home to a big fat hug from time to time :D a good portabello mushroom omelette on a sunday morning. 8 hours of sleep.

hahaha :) i sincerely hope you all are doing well. would love to keep in more constant touch. hang in there. it's almost summer!!! (which unfortunately, does not mean vacation anymore)

ta!

[quick precaution] be careful when using your credit cards. now with camera phones a lot more prevalent, who knows if someone is taking a picture of your card during your fabulous shopping transaction. a new pair of shoes that you thought would refurbish your wardrobe might turn into identify theft beyond the new-found spring in your step.

take care everyone :)
