Never be friends with ANYBODY that you work with...think "everybody is a snitch"-if you must, set up a 'work FB' account, and have ONLY people from work on it.
Never talk about what you do outside the office, people will find ways to make you look bad.
a. never accept a coworker as a fb friend. that is what linkedin is for.
b. you worked in a shitty job. wow.
I'll second this one, never fb friend any coworkers, that won't end well.
Have a couple of friends to call "squrrel" for you - When an annoying person is talking to you for more than 3 minutes, your friend will call your phone so you can politely excuse yourself for an important call. At least once a day, someone saves me from endless chatter.
I used to take this a step further and whenever a meeting was coming up that I didn't want to attend I would create a scheduled job on one of the servers to send me a text page a few minutes after the meeting started so I'd have an excuse to leave and go check on the "urgent server issue"
Also, invest in some headphones so you can block out your annoying coworkers when they get too loud. Now that I work from home, that's one thing I definitely don't miss!

I used to deal with 'special customers' (the ones that are lonely and go to the mall to talk to the employees). So, everybody knew the routine, as soon as those customers would walk in, one employee would 'go on break', and walk across the way to the pay phone, and call the store so we'd get 'stuck on the phone' and the lonely person would eventually leave once they realized that the person on the phone can't talk on the phone and to them at the same time.
I got yelled at for wearing headphones too...I wasn't being a 'team player'. :roll:
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

Delete all personal e-mails before leaving everyday
I am a compulsive deleter. Any personal e-mails get deleted + the sent e-mails deleted too. It's stupid coz I know they can retrieve the from the server but delete, delete, delete!
:shock: Oh Boy, well as long as they dont crack my code words, right now they think i smoke alot of apple sauce.

Those damn Jersey tempers...
I'm not sure :shock: I don't think I want to know. Some blowout between the director and the receptionist. Does not make for a counseling friendly environment when the staff is screaming at each other :fp:

Working in an office environment, is truly only one step up from pre-school.
Stealing co-workers food
Office snitches
etc.
etc.
Fucking ridiculous behavior from adults.
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

If you think offices are bad you should be a fly on the wall at a car dealership for a day.
Best advice ever!
