The Hump Day Humor-Gram, February 14, 2007 Issue Number 205 Please feel free to pass this along, translate it into Swahili or tape it to your co-worker’s forehead . . . 1. 2. Mike’s Fun at Work Tip 3. Deep Thought of the Week 4. It’s a Wacky, Wacky World =============================================================== 1. ================================================================ 2. Mike's Fun at Work Tip Bring in a masseuse (or better still a team of them) to offer everyone a five-minute quickie shoulder massage as a fun way of saying thanks during a stressful time. Several workplaces have done this to rave reviews. You could also offer this to customers once every few months. And if the budget won’t allow for this, then offer a monthly random prize for a gift certificate for one lucky working stiff (pun not only intended, but worked on for several hours) to go visit a registered massage therapist. (If massages aren’t your thing you could always bring in a balloon-animal guy, but trust me, massage therapists are way more popular.) ================================================================= 3. Deep Thought of the Week When you’re drowning in paperwork, just remember that everything can be filed under “miscellaneous.” ================================================================= 4. It's a Wacky, Wacky World From the highlight reels of wacky 2006 workplace stories: An Ottawa bureaucrat set up a website asking for $1 million so that he could flee his boring job and do something more “worthwhile.” If only it were that easy . . . Happy Hump Day! Keep making the person in the mirror laugh! ================================================================= Copyright Michael Kerr, 2007 mailto:mike@mikekerr.com Reach Michael at 1-866-609-2640, http://www.MikeKerr.com.
