1. And the Employee of the Month Is . . . 

At a recent workshop I met a fellow who was wearing an 
Employee of the Month t-shirt. The shirt was given to him,
well, by himself. Yes, he designated himself to be worthy
of the honour.  

He went on to tell me how, at a former job, he instituted 
an "Officer of the Year Award," which, year after year, 
he would win. Soon there was a statue, a plaque and an 
annual banquet and party, all to honour the Officer of 
the Year. Which of course, was always him, since he was 
the entire judge and committee. It evolved into a huge  
joke, which everyone played along with as an excuse to 
celebrate. 

A great reminder that if those of us we work with are 
forgetting how great we are, we can always take matters 
into our own hands . . .

2. Mike's Fun at Work Tip 

Give yourself a little perk by designating yourself 
The "______" of the Year", or page yourself over the 
intercom and give yourself the day off, or buy some 
flowers for your desk and tell co-workers they were
given to you as thanks for all your hard work by
the Committee for Workplace Excellence, which of course
you are the sole member of.

3. Quote of the Week 

"Live within your income, even if you have to borrow 
money to do so." Josh Billings

4. It's a Wacky, Wacky World

The latest business buzzword is "Deja Moo": 
the distinct feeling that you've heard all this bull 
somewhere before! 

Happy Hump Day one and all! Mooooooooooo!
