1. Take Time Out to Focus on What's Working
With all the doom 'n gloom talk around the recession, it's easy
for meetings to end up as a forum for wallowing and discontent.
So make a conscious effort to not just talk about what ISN'T
working or only discuss your problems. Spend at least ten minutes
at the end of each meeting talking about what is working, or share
some public praise of someone who did an outstanding job.
(And speaking of the type of meetings you'd rather NOT emulate,
surf on over to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMrFLofQeSw )

2. Mike's Fun at Work Tip
I recently received an e-mail auto-reply from a client whose note
made me laugh. Rather than the usual note, it spoke of being
kidnapped by her children and being forced to go to Disneyworld.
There were several other amusing lines, all of which made me smile,
and all of which made me realize I was interacting with a real
human being, as opposed to a computer named Hal. So as we head into
this holiday season, add a little personality and a little fun to
your auto-reply and voice mail messages.

3. Quote of the Week
"One nice thing about telling a clean joke is that there's a good
chance no one has heard it before." Doug Larson

4. It's a Wacky, Wacky, World: Your Call is VERY Important to Us?
Britain's Driving Standards Agency's on-hold message says:"Thank
you for your call. The waiting time is longer than we would expect
you to wait. In appreciation of your time, patience, and cost
implications to yourself, we are terminating this call." And then,
as promised, they terminate the call! Wow.
Happy Hump everyone. Keep laughing no matter who hangs up on you.
