the path to success
I’ve noticed that the amount of paper I keep on my desk is directly proportional to the positive opinion my bosses have of me. In the bosses’ minds, clean desk equals nothing to do, which immediately triggers the need to dump 5 more vapid projects on my lap.
Being the sharpest knife in the drawer and all, I have turned paper stacking into an art. Mind you, the paper mounds don’t even need to be things that I’m working on. My desk is now the storage area for copy paper, paper to be recycled, business magazines, unopened mail, and spam faxes. As long as there is a piece of paper covering some part of the desk, they stay away.
Is like showing Kriptonite to Superman. Brilliant!
