The Nine Commandments

There are days which are hectic... And then there are days which are so hectic that you forget to breathe...
I'm in those days now... My office is so not a govt. office in character... I not only have a plan to complete my work on time, on time is 9-5.30, but i also leave some extra time for some work which is lost and eventually ends up in my table! This is particularly to hold on to the principles "I always have time for whatever i like to do" and "i'm never so busy that i can't take any extra task" ...
But you know what? Never blurt out your principles in office, because they take it from you and use it against you. He is never so busy that he can't an extra task. These are things that you'll learn when you say you have years of experience. How not to make such blunders. So I have a set of postulates which I've developed with my one year of experience!
Disclaimer: I dont agree totally to most of them, so these are all just real practical postulates and people with genuine true ideologies will find it very easy to disagree
1. There is nothing called Job Satisfaction. You should get paid the way you want. If yes, satisfied! If no, unsatisfied.
2. There is nothing like a good boss. Every boss is an idiot till you become one. The only exception for that principle is you.
3. A workstation in which ONLY you can see the computer screen is the ideal workstation, regardless of the space available for work or storage.
4. Coffee and Tea means life.
5. Leave the office on time, everyday. Working extra time for extra work follows law of entropy.
6. The work remaining at 5.30 is called pending work. Its supposed to be pending and this is perfectly natural.
7. Be a good actor. Act polite.
8. Do not get angry with printers, they dont heal themselves.
9. Smile, it fools them, believe me.
Thats it! So much about offices. I can give a name to each of my postulates for easy use in contexts. But refraining from that now...
