Delete all personal e-mails before leaving everyday
Stop by the security office, chat'em up, and check out where the camera's are focused, find the blind spot.
An hidden emergency bottle of alcohol is a good idea.
Save every e-mail your boss send you and you send them, Cover Your Ass because if the shit hits the fan no matter how cool your boss seems they will throw you under the bus.

Clearly label - permanently - everything you bring in from home that has the potential to be lifted, shifted, or relocated when you're not looking.
Anything that can be lifted went into my desk drawer, and then I locked it. I NEVER left my desk drawers unlocked, even when I was sitting there (I had people steal shit when I got up to use the restroom), kept my desk key on the lanyard that was attached to my ID badge.
Any 'potentially weird' conversation I had with anybody, I would write down what was said, and dated it with the time. (this saved my ass, and enabled me to listen to the unemployment judge yell and demean my former boss and former HR rep-damn that felt great!)
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.
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.

Never eat any unwrapped food from the leftover food table. Especially the half donut or bagel someone left there. I have seen how many people don't wash their hands on the bathroom and I want no part of food that they have handled

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.
they also tell us we need one of the stupid plastic floor mats under our chairs.....i don't think so tim....it goes under one of my visitor chairs
at my old company, we had an office manager lady that we called The Space Heater Nazi.
this chick was DETERMINED not to let any space heaters into her office. NOT ON HER WATCH.
she emailed out the "space heater policy" at least twice a year (early fall and middle of the winter usually). and she would also inspect everyone's work spaces multiple times a year.

gotta rebel against that shit....
about 2 years ago, they started a you gotta swipe your key card in teh AM...regardless if the doors are opened or shut so that they can track if you swiped at all.....
so first day in, i'm walking in, and the hr office assistant is behind me....i don't swipe and she says you gott a swipe...i said no....and kept walking.
right around 11:30 i get an email CC'd to my boss about it...saying i better get with the program... kicker is, nobody ever once asked why....perhaps i had forgotten my card. my boss never said a word about it then or during my review hr guy is long gone....never trust hr, they are evil
guess i should read up on our space heater policy...thought it was banned, but everyone has one....windows leak like a mother
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!

Good call! There's quite often some funky smells that lurk around this office ...
I work with a guy who wears ear plugs in an office you could hear a pin drop. :roll: He's such a whack job.
"Let's check Idaho."
never seen ear plugs
Only use 'em about once or twice a month, but they're in my desk.
Lock your desk drawers every night.

Absolfuckinglutely.
I did that with my hot sauce...AND I would put a fresh label around the cap so I could tell if people used it. They still did. :x

Sounds like the worst job ever
Also, bringing your bosses limited run beer doesn't hurt
