      Walks. Three walks in twentyfive years. I work because I like the work, otherwise I could just as easily have been a cleaner (with somewhat lower standard of living :-O ) /Jonas

        Work hard and don't take no crap. You can be cocky if you can back it up. Don't stop learning to be the very best at what you do.

            Amen. I would add to that, if you have to work at the office; * Try to get an office/cubicle near the steps (take th stairwell when ever possible) * Never take the elevator (cow-orkers could be on it) * Never use the rest room on your floor * Never use the rest room on the top floor * Never eat at the company cafeteria (if there is one) * If by happenstance you meet a cow-orker in the hall always nodd and smile. * Always say good night to the security guard when you leave for the day. * Always delete your cookie cache and browser history and defrag your disk on your company machine at the end of the day (yes, even if you follow the rules) * oh, and never pick your nose in public.

                  I usually deal to the left. Oh, that must be in poker. At work, I defer to my manager.

                    I disagree. It won't matter either way. Working for someone else, you can always be on your best, non-controversial behavior and they'll still s**t on you.

                    Very good idea.

                    Another good idea.

                    As far as dating co-workers and do..., I'm happy that my company doesn't have any good looking people that I would want to date. It keeps my marriage and job safe.

                      Realize it's just a job, and you're just there to get some work done in exchange for pay. Don't take anything personally. Make sure everyone knows that's your MO.
