Rules for Work
-------------------------
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 the 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.
11. Be nice to me only when the job I'm doing for you could
really change your life and send you straight to manager's
hell.
12. Tell me all your little problems. No one else has any and
it's nice to know someone is less fortunate. I especially
like the story about having to pay so much taxes on the bonus
check you received for being such a good manager.
13. Wait until my yearly review and THEN tell me what my
goals SHOULD have been. Give me a mediocre performance rating
with a cost of living increase. I'm not here for the money
anyway.

True but the worst times down here to have a hurricane is at the end of August when the heat and humidity is so brutal and running generators 24/7 for a week or two is so very expensive.

No difference in the work description here but 100 degrees for the temperature.

September 10 is the peak and chances of a strong storm in the gulf diminish rapidly after that then after October 1 they are extremely low. If nothing on the horizon after about September 20 you can at least relax on the gulf side.

Jealous man cuts off penis of wife's lover, flushes it
A Tokyo graduate student whose wife was apparently having a romance with a co-worker burst into their office, beat the man nearly senseless, pulled down his rival's pants and snipped off his penis with garden shears, police say.
He then flushed the severed genitals down the toilet, according to an AFP report.
The condition of the victim, an unidentified 42-year-old lawyer, was not known. Kotsugai's wife was reportedly present when her husband charged in and began punching the paramour in the face.
