[Prudence]

Deep thoughts from work, courtesy of my boss:

You should never appear to be busy. People don't like to be around people who seem busy.

You should never appear to be focused on your own work. Such behaviour is selfish and contrary to the team spirit.

People should not have to ask you for help. You should always anticipate people's needs before they even know they have them.

You should never talk about your own life. It's a big morale problem for the faculty with condos in Hawaii to hear that you spent several days at Disneyland.
