Rules For Work
<p align="left">1. Never give me work in the morning.
Always wait until 4:00 and then bring it to me. The challenge of a deadline
is refreshing.</p>
<p align="left">2. If it's really a rush job, run in and
interrupt me every 10 minutes to inquire how it's going. That helps. Or even
better, hover behind me, advising me at every keystroke.</p>
<p align="left">3. Always leave without telling anyone
where you're going. It gives me a chance to be creative when someone asks where you
are.</p>
<p align="left">4. If my arms are full of papers, boxes,
books, or supplies, don't open the door for me. I need to learn how to function as a
paraplegic and opening doors with no arms is good training in case I should ever be
injured and lose all use of my limbs.</p>
<p align="left">5. If you give me more than one job to
do, don't tell me which is priority. I am psychic.</p>
<p align="left">6. Do your best to keep me late. I
adore this office and really have nowhere to go or anything to do. I have no life
beyond work.</p>
<p align="left">7. If a job I do pleases you, keep it a
secret. If that gets out, it could mean a promotion.</p>
<p align="left">8. If you don't like my work, tell
everyone. I like my name to be popular in conversations. I was born to be
whipped.</p>
<p align="left">9. If you have special instructions for
a job, don't write them down. In fact, save them until the job is almost done. No
use confusing me with useful information.</p>
<p align="left">10. Never introduce me to the people
you're with. I have no right to know anything. In the corporate food chain, I
am plankton. When you refer to them later, my shrewd deductions will identify them.</p>
<p align="left">11. Be nice to me only when the job I'm
doing for you could really change your life and send you straight to managers' hell.</p>
<p align="left">12. Tell me all your little problems.
No one else has any and it's nice to know someone is less fortunate. I
especially like the story about having to pay so much taxes on the bonus check you
received for being such a good manager.</p>
<p align="left">13. Wait until my yearly review and THEN
tell me what my goals SHOULD have been. Give me a mediocre performance rating
with a cost of living increase. I'm not here for the money anyway.</p>
