considered for a big promotion. Day two: Spread a rumor that the
promotion involves your boss heading up a new facility in Bosnia.
- Whenever a co-worker asks if you want coffee, say, "No thanks,
it.doesn't mix well with thorazine."
- Attach 10 or so bottles of white-out to the inside of your suit
jacket. Every time you pass a co-worker, surreptitiously open your
jacket and whisper, 'I got white-out here; three bucks a pop; good
quality stuff; who needs white-out?'
- Bring several large mason jars to work and fill them part way with
water and yellow food coloring; display them conspicuously around your
work space. Tell anyone who asks about them that you are just taking
part in an efficiency study that your boss came up with to cut down on
the time employees spend away from their desks.

taking off one minute out of every 25. Spend all your time planning'
your vacations.

Folger's Crystals.

a pattern develop, distribute the tally to co-workers and start a weekly
pool.

pirate every other day of the year as well.
- Sign up your boss as a volunteer for Junior Achievement, Save The
Children Foundation, Keep America Beautiful, the local branch of the
Seventh Day Adventist Church, UNICEF, Hands Across America, Points of
Light Foundation, and the kicker, AARP.
- Set everyone's desk and PC clock ahead one hour and go home early.
