Talking to yourself????

Ok...so we received an email from our Big Cheese at the office today that read.....
We have settled into our new work environment blah...blah...blah...blah...BUT I have observed behavior that needs to be corrected. Here they are in no severity order:

1.  limit cell phone use during the day - this to include texting and any other applications on your phone.
2.  If you are wearing headphones and cannot hear the phone ring or a person talking to you that comes to your work area then you should not be using them.
3.  computer use is for work only
4.  talking from cube to cube needs to stop - you will need to get up and walk to the person's cube to talk to them.  Also, if you are in a habit of talking to yourself while you work you will want to work on reducing that as well.
Now continue with the good (quiet) work.


WE HAVE A FEW RULES OF OUR OWN FOR THE BIG CHEESE AND HIS CHEDDAR DROPLETS!

1.  No sneaking around corners to try to catch employees doing something wrong.

2.  Alert your staff whenever you go into a meeting as to prevent your employees from having to “come and find” you during times that they have important questions.

3.  Immediate attention needs to be made to the overindulgence of fun sucking that you have been doing lately and it needs to stop.

4.  Please keep your heads out of your employees’ butts and up your own as to make sure you can hear when you are asked a question considering sound will travel throughout your body until it reaches your ears.

Thank you,
your under nazi-control staff

Ever Wonder?

Ever wonder what happened to yourself? Like somwhere along the way you just sort of lost who you are? I am so caught up in homework for me, homework for the kids, how are we going to pay this bill or that bill, got to get up for work. Rush..rush..rush all the time! It just seems to never end. Then when you can start to see the light at the end of the tunnel - BAM! that light you saw? Well, it was the headlights from an on-coming car and you didn't realize it until you are lying in the hospital bed all beat up and broken. Beat up because no matter how hard you try you always end up here and broken because you are just tired of trying to avoid that on-coming car that seems to always be just around that corner.
