Hi All,

As some of you know I have a new job back in IT (thanks for the encouragement in the other thread), this jobs starts monday coming

.

Anyway, this will be the first time working in an office for 5 years; so to help me behave correctly, what these days are the dos and don'ts in an office?

Don't ask stupid questions.

If you want to be a real techie:

Do stare down any cleavage you come across.
Do make strange noises periodically
Do some obscure work that no one cares about.
Do communicate with grunts.

Don't make eye contact with anyone.
Don't wash for days at a time.

Don't name your desk stapler "Mohammad".

Spend your first day working on a chart listing the attributes of all the women in the office. Then spend your second day working out a way of ordering it.

Everybody will like you after that.

You could be stapled to death for insulting stationary.
