A note before bed

First and foremost, I need to say hi to everyone and apologize for my absence. The past month has been trying both professionally as well as personally. On the upside, I do have a ton to write about but not tonight I'm afraid. However, I will leave these few pieces of parting advice for the evening:

1. Never tell your boss he/she won't do something. Especially when it pertains to you. For example - "You won't tell our GM that the design looks great ... it's just his aging eyes." Because if you have a boss like mine, he/she will add that little tid bit of info as a Post Script (from you) on the next e-mail to the GM.

2. Never engage in a paper ball fight with your coworkers when standing outside the GM's door. Odds are, you are the only one he'll catch in the act ... even when you were just retaliating against the aforementioned boss.

3. Always suspect your best friend in the office. He/she is behind almost every office prank played on you. Like intercepting a fax for HR entitled "How to deal with trouble employees," putting a sticky note on it that says "I thought you might need this," and leaving it on your boss' chair.

Until next time.

xoxo
