Discourage gossip. Wit and humour at the other person’s expense are rarely worth it and may hurt when least expected. Let your virtues, if you have any, speak for themselves. Refuse to talk of another’s vices. It is a waste of valuable time and can be extremely destructive. Be careful of another’s feelings.

Know your own weaknesses : Don’t get caught up in gossip. Be sensitive of others : Jokes at someone else’s expense are not worth the trouble. Learn to disagree without being disagreeable. Don’t point out the speck in the other person’s eye while ignoring the plank your own. Think about other people’s feelings before you poke fun.

Don't gossip or share confidential things, but you get my point. If you can't take a vacation, call in sick, take a mental health day, or personal floating holiday if your company offers those. Put the seat cover down, sit, cradle your head in your hands, and just rest your eyes. Nuff said.

If we start now, we can totally create a lifesize model of Santa Claus made of paper clips by the holidays. If you play "Thriller" backwards, it says "I wish I were Prince, I wish I were Prince." * The boss says we need to cut expenses. * Can that CNN hologram thing be used the next time we have a meeting?
