- Never give me work in the morning. Always wait until 5:00 and
then bring it to me. The challenge of a deadline is refreshing. - If it’s really a “rush job,” run in and interrupt me every 10
minutes
to inquire how it’s going. That helps. - Always leave without telling anyone where you’re going. It gives
me a chance to be creative when someone asks where you are. - If my arms are full of papers, boxes, books or supplies,don’t open
the door for me. I need to learn how to function as a paraplegic and
opening doors is good training. - If you give me more than one job to do, don’t tell me which is the
priority. Let me guess. - Do your best to keep me late. I like the office and really have
nowhere to go or anything to do. - If a job I do pleases you, keep it a secret. Leaks like that could
cost me a promotion. - If you don’t like my work, tell everyone. I like my name to be
popular in conversation. - If you have special instructions for a job, don’t write them down.
If fact, save them until the job is almost done. - Never introduce me to the people you’re with. When you refer to
them later, my shrewd deductions will identify them. - Be nice to me only when the job I’m doing for you could really
change your life. - Tell me all your little problems. No one else has any and it’s
nice to
know someone is less fortunate.
