Anyone can do any amount of work, provided it isn't the work he is supposed to be doing.

Employee's Ten Comandments
If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried. If you can't get your work done in the first 24 hours, work nights. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it. For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism. Keep your boss's boss off your boss's back. Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view. To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research. The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up. Don't be irreplaceable, if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted. If you are good, you will be assigned all the work. If you are really good, you will get out of it.

Laws of Work
A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking. No one is listening until you make a mistake. When you don't know what to do, walk fast and look worried. Following the rules will not get the job done. Everything can be filed under "miscellaneous." Important letters that contain no errors will develop errors in the mail. He who hesitates is probably right. You are always doing something marginal when the boss drops by your desk. People who go to conferences are the ones who shouldn't. No matter how much you do, you never do enough. The last person that was fired will be held responsible for everything that goes wrong. When the bosses talk about improving productivity, they are never talking about themselves. Work is accomplished by those employees who are still striving to reach their level of incompetence.

When I take a long time, I am slow. When my boss takes a long time, he is thorough.
When I don't do it, I am lazy. When my boss doesn't do it, he is too busy.
When I do something without being told, I am trying to be smart. When my boss does the same, that is initiative.
When I please my boss, I am ass-kissing. When my boss pleases his boss, he is co-operating.
When I do good, my boss never remembers. When I do wrong, he never forgets.
When I make a mistake, I am an idiot. When my boss makes a mistake, he's only human.
When I am out of the office, I am wandering around. When my boss is out of the office, he's on business.

Tips for managers and bosses
Never give me work in the morning. Always wait until 4:00 and then bring it to me. The challenge of a deadline is refreshing.
If it's really a "rush job," run in and interrupt me every ten minutes to inquire how it's going. That helps.
Always leave without telling anyone where you're going. It gives me a chance to be creative when someone asks where you are.
If my arms are full of papers, boxes, books, or supplies, don't open the door for me. I need to learn how to function as a paraplegic and opening doors is good training.
If you give me more than one job to do, don't tell me which is the priority. Let me guess.
Do your best to keep me late. I like the office and really have nowhere to go or anything to do.
If a job I do pleases you, keep it a secret.
If you don't like my work, tell everyone. I like my name to be popular in conversation.
If you have special instructions for a job, don't write them down. In fact, save them until the job is almost done.
Be nice to me only when the job I'm doing for you could really change your life.

Ten Signs You Need a Really Long Vacation
You lecture the neighborhood kids selling lemonade on ways to improve their process. You get all excited when it's Saturday so you can wear sweats to work. You refer to the tomatoes grown in your garden as deliverables. You find you really need PowerPoint to explain what you do for a living. You normally eat out of vending machines and at the most expensive restaurant in town within the same week. You think that "progressing an action plan" and "calendarizing a project" are acceptable English phrases. You know the people at the airport hotels better than your next door neighbors. You ask your friends to "think out of the box" when making Friday night plans. You think Einstein would have been more effective had he put his ideas into a matrix. You think a "half-day" means leaving at 5 o'clock.

Ten Signs You Are "Burned Out" Because of Work
Your garbage can is your "in" box. You sleep more at work than at home. Your Day Timer exploded a week ago. You're so tired you now answer the phone, "Hell." You leave for a party and instinctively take your ID badge. You have so much on your mind, you've forgotten how to pee. Visions of the upcoming weekend help you make it through Monday. You think about how relaxing it would be if you were in jail right now. You wake up to discover your bed is on fire, but go back to sleep because you just don't care. Your friend calls to ask how you've been, and you immediately scream, "Get off my back, jerk!"
