set by actor Ben Stein -- who's achieved success in several fields -- and 
follow his 4 rules for success.

-Workplace Issues-
OFFICE ETIQUETTE FOR THE HOLIDAYS

This is one of those "gray areas" that a workplace manual doesn't cover: 
what's proper when it comes to celebrating the holidays at the office? Can 
you wear that sparkly sequins dress to the party? How can you be sure what's 
acceptable, and what's not? These are important questions, so here are some 
important answers: the dos and don'ts of celebrating the holidays at the 
office.

THE SHORT LIST: Top 10 Worst Reasons to Form a Team

1. The Pointy-Haired Boss thinks it would be useful. If it really would be 
useful the PHB wouldn't mention it.

2. It's a one-person job...but we have five people who need something to do.
- K the Lowly Tech

3. To discuss how we can eliminate non-productive activities from our day. 
Let's meet every morning from 9:00 a.m. to noon.
- $1000 Bill Bert

4. Internet Inappropriate Use Committee.
- Yesthankyoudontmindifido-bert

5. So that an important decision can be bogged down for months, thereby 
covering the PHB's rear end when he jumps in to unilaterally make a terrible 
decision without any thought.
- Wait and hurry up.
