Day 32

Close to 3 months on the job and I've done some of the THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER DO ON THE JOB:
  1. Spell your boss' name wrongly and have him point it out to you
  2. Spam all the higher management's email such that their mail quota is exceeded and their PAs start calling
  3. Provide the wrong tel no. and have all agencies trying to get you call a no. that's not in use
  4. Tell your boss he is too much of a purist and his approach is impractical
  5. Snub your director when she says Good Morning to you because you're still in a morning daze
  6. When you boss tells you he thinks the figures you generate are wrong, tell him that you're absolutely sure it's 100% correct such that he gives up asking you and decides to regenerate it himself
  7. Put on the line your credibility with the ministry higher up half the time
  8. Apply for so many positions in the ministry higher up that when you go for meetings for with your bosses, they are so amused because there is no need for introductions since everyone knows you
I think there were more faux pas but I can't remember them now. Fortunately my boss is a very good-natured man and is just mildly amused by all the above.

This wasn't the layout I intended...screwed up everything when trying to play ard, so had to settle for a given template instead. lol
