WWRWD?
What Would Robin Williams Do?
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
the courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference

1. Never give me work in the morning. Always wait until
4:00 and then bring it to me. The challenge of a deadline
is refreshing.
2. If it's really a rush job, run in and interrupt me
every 10 minutes to inquire how it's going. That helps.
Or even better, hover behind me, advising me at every
keystroke.
3. Always leave without telling anyone where you're going.
It gives me a chance to be creative when someone asks where
you are.
4. 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 with no arms
is good training in case I should ever be injured and lose
all use of my limbs.
5. If you give me more than one job to do, don't tell me
which is priority. I am psychic.
6. Do your best to keep me late. I adore this office and
really have nowhere to go or anything to do. I have no
life beyond work.
7. If a job I do pleases you, keep it a secret. If that
gets out, it could mean a promotion.
8. If you don't like my work, tell everyone. I like my
name to be popular in conversations. I was born to be
whipped.
9. If you have special instructions for a job, don't write
them down. In fact, save them until the job is almost done.
No use confusing me with useful information.
10. Never introduce me to the people you're with. I have
no right to know anything. In the corporate food chain,
I am plankton. When you refer to them later, my shrewd
deductions will identify them.
