Deidre's Ramblings

[*Deidre*]

Life is really great, and I'm feeling high on life. Sometimes this worries me, because I'm one of those people that wonders if something bad is about to happen. You know, the calm before the storm. But, I'm trying to live my life optimistically.

And my husband is quite amazing. And hot, did I tell you, he's hot? lol

I'm feeling grateful right now, and just want to bottle this feeling so it never goes away.

Things are going great! Slightly overwhelmed with my new job but it’s getting better. How are you??

My secret for turning a job into a successful career is to establish a pecking order early on.

This can be done several ways:

Identify the power players and butter them up with gifts and subtle praise.

Identify the power players and seduce them.

Identify the power players and get incriminating pictures to blackmail them (can work in conjunction with option two).

Disappear several of the other staff and let it be known that the same *might* happen to those who challenge you.

I’ve always found option four works the best.

I think this is excellent advice.
