Top Ten Ways to Get Fired
Don’t try this at work 😉
10. Day one: Start an official sounding rumor about your boss being
considered for a big promotion. Day two: Spread a rumor that the
promotion involves your boss heading up a new facility in Bosnia.
9. Whenever a co-worker asks if you want coffee, say, "No thanks, it
doesn't mix well with thorazine."
8. Attach 10 or so bottles of white-out to the inside of your suit jacket.
Every time you pass a co-worker, surreptitiously open your jacket and
whisper, 'I got white-out here; three bucks a pop; good quality stuff;
who needs white-out?'
7. Bring several large mason jars to work and fill them part way with water
and yellow food coloring; display them conspicuously around your work
space. Tell anyone who asks about them that you are just taking part in
an efficiency study that your boss came up with to cut down on the time
employees spend away from their desks.
6. Tell your boss that you intend to spread out your vacation time by
taking off one minute out of every 25. Spend all your time 'planning'
your vacations.
5. Secretly replace the coffee your boss usually drinks with new Folger's
Crystals.
4. Keep a tally of what your boss wears on 'casual' Friday. When you see a
pattern develop, distribute the tally to co-workers and start a weekly
pool.
3. Dress like a pirate for the office halloween party. Dress like a 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.
1. Set everyone's desk and PC clock ahead one hour and go home early.
Letter of Recommendation
Sir,
While working with Mr. Murthy, I have always found him
working studiously and sincerely at his table without idling or
gossiping with colleagues in the office. He seldom
wastes his time on useless things. Given a job, he always
finishes the given assignment in time. He will always be
deeply engrossed in his official work, and can never be
found chit-chatting in the canteen. He has absolutely no
vanity in spite of his high accomplishment and profound
knowledge of his field. I think he can easily be
classed as outstanding, and should on no account be
dispensed with. I strongly feel that Mr. Murthy should be
pushed to accept promotion, and a proposal to administration be
sent out as soon as possible.

PS: MURTHY WAS PRESENT WHEN I WAS
WRITING THE REPORT MAILED TO YOU TODAY.
KINDLY READ ONLY THE ALTERNATE LINES 1,3,5…
FOR MY TRUE ASSESSMENT OF HIM.

Instructions For Microsoft’s New TV Dinner Product
You must first remove the plastic cover. By doing so you agree to
accept and honor Microsoft rights to all TV dinners. You may not give
anyone else a bite of your dinner (which would constitute an
infringement of Microsoft’s rights). You may, however, let others
smell and look at your dinner and are encouraged to tell them how good
it is.
If you have a PC microwave oven, insert the dinner into the oven. Set
the oven using these keystrokes: <<\mstv.dinn.//08.5min@50%heat//
Then enter: ms//start.cook_dindin/yummy\|/yum~yum:-)gohot#cookme.
If you have a Mac oven, insert the dinner and press start. The oven
will set itself and cook the dinner.
If you have a Unix oven, insert the dinner, enter the ingredients of
the dinner (found on the package label), the weight of the dinner, and
the desired level of cooking and press start. The oven will calculate
the time and heat and cook the dinner exactly to your specification.
Be forewarned that Microsoft dinners may crash, in which case your
oven must be restarted. This is a simple procedure. Remove the dinner
from the oven and enter <<ms.good/tryagain\again/again.please. This
process may have to be repeated. Try unplugging the microwave and
then doing a cold reboot. If this doesn’t work, contact your hardware
vendor.
Many users have reported that the dinner tray is far too big, larger
than the dinner itself, having many useless compartments, most of
which are empty. These are for future menu items. If the tray is too
large to fit in your oven you will need to upgrade your equipment.
Dinners are only available from registered outlets, and only the
chicken variety is currently produced. If you want another variety,
call MicrosoftHelp and they will explain that you really don’t want
another variety. Microsoft Chicken is all you really need.
Microsoft has disclosed plans to discontinue all smaller versions of
their chicken dinners. Future releases will only be in the larger
family size. Excess chicken may be stored for future use, but must be
saved only in Microsoft approved packaging.
Microsoft promises a dessert with every dinner after ’98. However,
that version has yet to be released. Users have permission to get
thrilled in advance.
Microsoft dinners may be incompatible with other dinners in the
freezer, causing your freezer to self-defrost. This is a feature, not
a bug. Your freezer probably should have been defrosted anyway.
