considered for a big promotion. Day two: Spread a rumor that the
promotion involves your boss heading up a new facility in Bosnia.

it.doesn't mix well with thorazine."

quality stuff; who needs white-out?'

cut down on the time employees spend away from their desks.

taking off one minute out of every 25. Spend all your time 'planning'
your vacations.

Folger's Crystals.

see a pattern develop, distribute the tally to co-workers and start
a weekly pool.

pirate every other day of the year as well.
2. Sign up your boss as a volunteer for Junior Achievement, Save The
Children Foundation, Keep America Beautiful, the local branch of the
Seventh Day Adventist Church, UNICEF, Hands Across America, Points
of Light Foundation, and the kicker, AARP.
