At Work

At work A pat on the back is only a few centimeters from a kick in the pants. Don't be irreplaceable, if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted. The more crap you put up with, the more crap you are going to get. You can go anywhere you want if you look serious and carry a clipboard. When the bosses talk about improving productivity, they are never talking about themselves. Everything can be filed under "miscellaneous." To eror is human, to forgive is not company policy. There is never enough time to do it right the first time, but there is always enough time to do it over. If you are good, you will be assigned all the work. If you are really good, you will get out of it. When you don't know what to do, walk fast and look worried. The longer the title, the less important the job. Once a job is fouled up, anything done to improve it makes it worse.
