HOW TO KEEP A HEALTHY LEVEL OF INSANITY IN THE WORKPLACE

 

 

1. Page yourself over the intercom. (Don't disguise your voice.)


2. Find out where your boss shops and buy exactly the same outfits. Always wear
them one day after your boss does. (This is especially effective if your boss is a
different gender than you are).


3. Make up nicknames for all your coworkers and refer to them only by these names. "That's a good point, Sparky." "No I'm sorry I'm going to have to disagree with you there, Chachi."


4. Send email to the rest of the company telling them what you're doing. For example "If anyone needs me, I'll be in the bathroom."


5. "Hi-lite" your shoes. Tell people that you haven't lost your shoes since you did this.


6. While sitting at your desk, soak your fingers in "Palmolive."


7. Put up mosquito netting around your cubicle.


8. Put a chair facing a printer, sit there all day and tell people you're waiting for your document.


9. Arrive at a meeting late, say you're sorry, but you didn't have time for lunch, and
you're going to be nibbling during the meeting. During the meeting eat 5 entire raw
potatoes.


10. Insist that your e-mail address be "zena_goddess_of_fire@company.com"


11. Every time someone asks you to do something, ask them if they want fries with
that.


12. Send email to yourself engaging yourself in an intelligent debate about the
direction of one of your company's products. Forward the mail to a co-worker and ask her to settle the disagreement.


13. Suggest that beer be put in the soda machine.


14. Encourage your colleagues to join you in a little synchronized ballroom chair
dancing.


15. Put your garbage can on your desk. Label it "IN."


16. Determine how many cups of coffee is "too many."


17. Develop an unnatural fear of staplers
