1. Never give me work in the morning - always wait until 5pm and

then bring it to me. The challenge of a deadline is refreshing.

2. If it is a really "rush job", run in and interrupt me every 10

minutes to inquire how it is going. That helps.

3. Always leave without telling anyone where you're going as it gives

me a chance to be creative when someone asks where you are.

4. If my arms are full of boxes, papers, books or supplies, don't

open the door for me.

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 else to do.

7. If a job pleases you, keep it a secret - leaks like that could

cost me 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 are 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 - nobody else has any and it's

nice to know someone else is less fortunate.
