Kiruba,

I have some paper that I would like to sell. I can also paint smileys free-of-cost if you provide your balls

Hey anonymous,
don’t be suprised if this ar**h*le tells you that’s a kick arse idea and would n’t mind trying COLOURFUL modern art on his balls than just a simple smiley :LOL

hey shirker, decorations and dual (or even 3) monitors wont make your office like google’s office. Doing the work is important..

Put a fish aquarium! It’s a totally amazing tranquilizer to just look at them playing around for sometime!

Once done, you should definitely post pictures of the whole thing!

A picture board would accentuate the place, wouldn it? As in putting up pictures from recent office get-togethers, fun days and all of that. Somehow it leaves everyone who works there with a sense of bonding – plus you get to change the pictures everytime you have a new event.
You must let me know if my suggestion does prove good

Thanks for provoking my thought. After reading your post, my office looks bare. Will definitely try out things like plants, white paper on wall, Wind Chime (Clinklers!).

Also, the co-working option looks useful. Hope I will be able to use it when I visit Chennai.

Cheers!

People online are real people.

If you send a nasty email, there’s a real human being on the other end who gets it.
If you flame in a forum, you’re wasting real people’s time.
If you spam someone, you’re really only making yourself look bad.
If you write IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS it sounds like shouting.
If you want something to happen your way, try asking instead of demanding.
If you give, you’ll probably wind up getting, too.
If you blog just to pick fights, don’t be surprised when people don’t trust you.
If you collaborate, say thanks.
If you’re independent, say no thanks.
If you like someone, tell them.
If you don’t, walk away from the computer.
If you’re giving feedback, lead with just one good thing.
If you’re getting feedback, realize that the person must care a lot to have sent it.
If you goof, apologize.
If you apologize, mean it.
If you smile, mean that too.
If you don’t like something, don’t do it.
If you do like something, spread it.

But far far more important:

Give people a break.
The break you probably deserve yourself.
People are out to do good, 99% of the time.
You probably are too.
Say thanks out loud and a lot.
Try making someone’s day.
Chances are they’ll make yours in return.
