Courtesy of Kev and myself, here’s our ten ways to share your stress now we’re all back in the office.
How to Share the Stress for the New Year
- Invent your own language and refuse to speak anything else for a day.
- Write all numbers in Roman numerals (try it in Excel).
- Insist on using the fax machine as a shredder and complain to IT that it doesn’t work.
- Omit a different vowel each day.
- Paint your own parking area at a client’s site.
- Invite the client to join in your daily rendition of La Marseillaise.
- End every e-mail with a different quote from Chairman Mao on the perils of capitalism.
- Sign off your work as “GODâ€. Refute any review notes by claiming that “GOD IS PERFECTâ€.
- Rearrange the client’s office to “maximise the feng shui harmonyâ€.
- Charge the client for the above service.
