The Ten Commandments of Self-Sabatoge At Work -Try To Avoid

1O. Shut your trap to avoid any flap 9. Do not be overly fraught by "conventional thought" (dinosaurism) 8. Know how to deal with Soylent Green People 7. Stuff your ideas and different views-tip toe on the softest of shoes 6. Paperwork and procedure (I know) one can't bumble...doing so will make ya really humble 5. That being said, just go with the herd...bite your tongue people! Don't say a word! 4. Don't think too much-like we did...that special group without computers as a kid 3. If number four applies to you, don't question the almightly computer (as I sometimes do) 2. Clever, innovative, challenging, and problematic...yes, DAMNIT!, sometimes it pays to be erratic 1. You are not a weirdo, strange, or dumb...just follow the status-quo, and get the **** done Ironic, yes; I am able to say this over the "net". Contradictory, sure; technology is a menacing lure. Maybe good 'ol Ray Bradbury was right on the money, and this is all pretty darn funny. Farenhieght 451, I think your day may come. RIP books and innovation.
