extreme office behaviour -
For all the workies reading this, you know exactly what I mean. For all the students, I'll just give some examples. Loading msn messenger on office computer and chatting with friends while boss is actually in my cubicle. (he loves all the web marketing stuff i show him including blogging so its cool...what isn't cool is that i was talking sh-t about him on msn at that precise moment). Telling sexually ambiguous boss that he LOVES pink and is a homo. Telling boss he's a perv when he asks about my perfume, age, dating status. Correcting boss on his dumb-ass mistake in front of his boss and entire department - then saying "BURN". Obviously, I am exhibiting a ton of extreme office behaviour of late. Don't get me wrong, I have huge job satisfaction - I just have to stick it to the bossman once in a while. And I can get away with it since he thinks i'm hot, brilliant, edgy and wants me. ewww...brutal..ewww... but part of my reality.
save draft -
If you are on the impulsive & passionate side, this tool is the greatest invention ever!! Not only for email...but the concept can be applied to life as well. Recently, I've been practising a lot of "save draft" - trying to hold back my reaction or words during a moment of rage...letting the burst of great annoyance subside and then reacting to the situation in a calm and emotionless manner. Some people call this "professionalism" - others call it "grace" - still others call it "maturity"...i just call it "becoming a boring adult". The benefit of "save draft" is clearly "save ass". Practising "save draft" is demonstrating moderately better results for me...I miss my passionate side.
your kryptonite -
That one thing or combo of things you should never eat. your one weak point that could cause a sudden need for serious contemplation on the procelain throne. Yogurt + bran would definitely be one friend's kryptonite. An ex-boyfriend's was curry. My spicy italiana friend says that copious amounts of ribs for lunch is her kryptonite. My gorgeous cowboy colleague thinks any form of vegetables or fruit is his weak point. One manager sitting behind me had a horrible sushi incident and now swears that japanese cuisine is his kryptonite. And as for me??? Why would i tell you!!??!? Superman never goes around telling everyone his weak point - so why would I??
An observation - consuming your kryptonite at work is also a form of "extreme office behaviour".
