Things to avoid, if you want to keep your job

Do you ever get the urge to do something really silly at work for no apparent reason?

We found a list that was originally called 'How to Have Fun During the Working Day.'

Of course, we at Jobs In South West are not going to encourage you to jeopardise your current position, even if it means that you may come to us for a new job (having lost your previous one for attempting a few of these stunts):

1. Set the photocopy machine to 99 copies, 200% and extra dark.

2. Reply to everything (especially a request from your boss) with "That's what YOU think"

3. Practice making fax and modem noises. This works particularly well in business meetings, especially when you and your colleagues are trying to impress new clients.

4. Highlight irrelevant information in scientific papers and copy them to your boss.

5. Google a picture of a hippopotamus, print it out and frame it. Then leave it on your boss's desk with a note attached that reads: "That's your wife, that is."

DISCLAIMER: Just because we said it, doesn't mean we mean it.
