The 'Overly Perfumed' Co-worker

The Unseasonable Dresser
Spring break was so 10 years ago but you still think it's 'totally cool' to show up with cargo shorts, Hawaiian shirt, and sandals in January. Isn't it a little tough to work on the Henderson account when it's -15 degrees and you smell like Coppertone?

The 'Reply-to-All' Sender
Some e-mail messages need to sent "Reply-to-All" like RSVP's or important clients and business contacts. However, don't hit this command every time. Maybe, just maybe, that cat in Topeka will get the life-saving operation even if I don't forward this to 20 people in the next half hour.

The 'Kids' Fundraiser Sales Agent'
In an attempt to get my 9 year old to the top of the school fundraising sales chart, I will execute a high-pressure sales tactic leaving you feeling mighty guilty if you say 'no'. Remember, you can't say, "I gave at the office"...this IS the office.

The 'Sick Martyr'
Most places of work allow you a number of sick days per year, or P.T.O.. Use them. PLEASE, DO NOT come into work when you are sick! If we want your germs, we'll lick your stapler.
