Sometimes the highlight of my day is meeting the new UPS driver. Or cleaning out my keyboard that has become gummed up with peanut butter (the hazards of eating at your desk.) That's why I was intrigued to talk to someone who broke away from the mundane working world and set himself up to work from a truly fabulous place.

"You can take your ridiculous ideas and shove them up your." But before you burn up your keyboard typing back a nasty message , let's look at the smarter way to respond: 1. But if the issue is time-sensitive, phone the person or talk to him or her face-to-face. Don't send it. You know better. Learn from it. Don't send it.

You actually end up thinking that you are working harder, yet you are reducing your productivity by about 30%. Thats quite a bit of work that you could be catching up on throughout your day, each and every day. Then I would open up the applications associated with the next task.

Always show up in their office pen poised ready to write with notebook already opened. Otherwise, if you show up with nothing they will think you don’t plan on writing anything down and will somehow remember all of it. I am not a big fan of touch screen keyboards as they are not a true QWERTY keyboard.

I enjoyed having a full QWERTY keyboard without all of the keys, in such compact form factor. So, I read up on other Smartphones available through T-Mobile. However, neither the HTC myTouch nor the Samsung Behold 2 have a keyboard. My point of reference is the Blackberry Pearl Flip, model 8220.

So the dog and two cats appear, dumping over the trash, barfing up something they should not have eaten, and scrambling to lie on the computer keyboard, my lap or whatever papers I need, all the while drooling and shedding and panting and meowing. So they breathe until I can’t stand it and I look up. Run it up the flagpole.
