Lessons in brown-nosing (part two)

Carly, as well as being a top-notch brown-noser for adding to the blog on Christmas Day, is also missing a trick. Or is she pulling a fast one? I think we should be told, and I should get all the brownie points for being a clever-dick-swottie-pants. Assuming for a moment that butter would NOT melt in Carly's mouth, she should know how easy it is to write a posting, and then set a timer that sees it actually published at a later date. What easier way of impressing the boss by making it look as if you were working on Christmas Day when actually you were hard at it with the Chardonnay having pre-scribbled some old nonsense? Unless you are rumbled, of course.

And if you have been, you might be interested in this job spec. Tips galore for brown-nosing of a more successful variety. Ish.

PS I have posted this in "strategy" because I really am at work in the dog days between Christmas and New Year. And I am loving every minute of it. What a super idea of the boss to give me this fantiastic opportunity to leverage my own little brand to the greater good of our wonderful company and its inspired and generous leadership team.

In the interests of journalistic openness, I have to admit that Robert's right - I *did* write the Christmas Day post on Christmas Eve. In my defence, however, I spent several minutes on the morning of the 25th checking that I hadn't screwed up the timer function. It's happened before.

I was fixing a roof on christmas day- it was freezing cold so imagine my surprise when at the top of a ladder leaning against the house two doors along, appeared the top of a turban with a guy called Mike Singh beneath it. We worked to get our respective problems fixed until it was dark then became good friends and business associates over several years -until we lost touch. Are you out there Mike?
