Subject:RE: What's the significance of a draft From:Marguerite Krupp <mkrupp -at- cisco -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Thu, 5 Sep 2002 13:09:13 -0400
OK, maybe I'm in a silly mood today, but:
re: "Drafts" - Sam Adams sounds good.
re: bosses who pick up drafts off your desk without your permission - bury a
copy of that Dilbert cartoon Dick mentioned within the first few pages. I
did something similar to that one time with a particlularly prickly
reviewer, and the message got across. He became one of our staunchest
supporters.
re: hiding your drafts - don't bother unless you want said boss to rummage
through your stuff. Hide it in plain sight... by keeping your desk buried in
piles of paper. <G>
OK, we return you now to the realms of sanity.
