You Don't Have to Be Crazy to Work Here...

It seems there are a few things that weren't covered in the new hire orientation or in the employee handbook we need to read and affirm annually:

1. Elevator etiquette: if you see someone running towards the elevator, and there’s room, hold the door for them. We’re all in a hurry to go somewhere, whether it’s home or up to your desk, would it kill you show some courtesy? Oh and when/if they do make it in time and cause the doors to re-open so they can get on, don’t give them attitude/face; you’re the jerk, not them.

2. Speaker of the House: unless you’re in your own office, with a door that closes, speakerphone is incredibly irritating to those around you. how 'bout picking up that receiver, buddy?

3. Potty Mouth: guys, if you’re too pee shy to use a urinal, at least have the decency to lift the seat in the stall. Or, if you can’t wait that long, clean it off afterward, y’filthy animal.

4. Spellbound: outlook has spell check, built-in, let it do its job…please.

5. Who Are the People in Your Neighborhood: your cubicle is not a self contained biosphere sealing you off from your co-workers, other people can see you picking your nose, hear you belching and smell your wretched lunch.

6. Door Jam: ladies bitches, having a door held open for you is a privilege, not a right; try saying “thank you” and reciprocating once in a while



7. Finger Print: Printer etiquette has been a pet peeve of mine, for years; so much so, that it had a list of its own, way back when and then again, a few years later. i still stand behind both posts.

Just a thought on the current state of your blog... have you been secretly writing a screenplay for Office Space 2?
