Random Thoughts

Here you will find my thoughts on various topics from technology to business and careers. Enjoy!

1. Be an arrogant egomaniac. Make sure everybody knows you are the smartest person in the company.  
2. Remind yourself and others how irreplaceable you are. The company would shut down if you ever left anyway, right?
3. Don?t listen. The customers don?t know what they want anyway.
4. Wait until just before an assignment is due to ask what was expected of you. Prove you didn?t listen in the first place.
5. Wait four weeks to start a project that had a five week deadline. Ensure the maximum potential of missing the deadline should you bump into any problems.
6. Never document your work.
7. Create complexity for your customers to get anything done. Have at least five to ten redundant forms for them to fill out while you go get breakfast at McDonalds.
8. Go after worthless new products. Spend $1,000,000.00 to save $100.00 annually.
9. Show how much you are worth by costing twice as much as it would to have your job done by a contractor. Smart people are expensive, right?
10. Demand a raise even though you haven?t grown, added additional value, and are doing the same exact things as last year. You deserve it just because you have been there.
11. Don?t bother yourself learning what is important to your business. Business acumen is overrated.
