The sad part is, how many managers are *exactly like this*
1. Never give me work in the morning. Always wait until 5:00 and then bring it to me. The challenge of a deadline is refreshing.
2. If it’s really a “rush job,” run in and interrupt me every 10 minutes to inquire how it’s going. That helps.
3. Always leave without telling anyone where you’re going. It gives me a chance to be creative when someone asks where you are.
4. If my arms are full of papers, boxes, books or supplies, don’t open the door for me. I need to learn how to function as a paraplegic and opening doors is good training.
5. If you give me more than one job to do, don’t tell me which is the priority. Let me guess.
6. Do your best to keep me late. I like the office and really have nowhere to go or anything to do.
7. If a job I do pleases you, keep it a secret. Leaks like that could cost me a promotion.
8. If you don’t like my work, tell everyone. I like my name to be popular in conversation.
9. If you have special instructions for a job, don’t write them down. If fact, save them until the job is almost done.
10. Never introduce me to the people you’re with. When you refer to them later, my shrewd deductions will identify them.
11. Be nice to me only when the job I’m doing for you could really change your life.
12. Tell me all your little problems. No one else has any and it’s nice to know someone is less fortunate.

Very well said. Many managers fail because of the lack of empathy for workers.
It is easier to be a subordinate than to be a manager...but I am sure with experience and through time, one will improve and be a good manager, like you have learnt...
Take care and blessings to you!

Unknown My dear Angelina
Great to hear from you and am glad your mama likes it hehe...
Can I tell you a secret?
I am in love!!!
With the tabby cat that delivered her three kittens in my garden.
She is soooooooooooooo beautiful, my dear. Now, she has shifted her kitties to another place in the garden cos I kept visiting the original site to check on her kitties. I want to feed her but don't know how to go about it. Think she looks very regal!!!
How do I let her know I wanna adopt her/make frens with her????
Do advise....the kitties are absolutely adorable.

Cat-from-Sydney O Wise Master,
A tabbytat? Does she look like me?
A cat mother is technically called a "Queen", therefore you're spot on when you say she looks regal.
To win her heart is through her stomach. Believe me, it's true. Leave some food for her at her original place and be discreet when you visit. According to popular belief, a queen will usually move her kittens 7 times. Though the queen in our family, Nicole, never move from the basket Mama prepared for her. It's something to do with the queen fearing for her kitten's life etc. Be wary of roaming tomcats in the area. There have been cases of tomcats killing kittens.
If you arm yourself with enough Telfast, perhaps you can open your kitchen door and let them in. purrr....

Unknown Hi Angelina
The tabby is kind of like a Siamese cat. She has assymetrical designs on her head and her eyes are the loveliest.
I tried to make friends with her but she ran off. Then when I went there again, she stuck her head out of ferns and glared at me. I offered her a piece of bread and she growled at me. Then I threw it at her but bad aim - it landed splat too far from her and yet too near i.e. if I went closer to pick it up, she could strike at me with her sharpened claws. With a rake, I pushed it aside and then she ran away. I followed her and she hid under my neighbour's car. After that, I threw the bread near the car...and she picked it up gingerly and then ran away.
*panting*
Not so easy to court my lady.
For all that, I have grown a shade darker and have a splitting headache cos I am a "puteri lilin" and cannot stand the sun.
After that, I peeped at the darlings and they were lying one on top of the other again. So cuteeeee!!!
So far, the tom cat cannot be seen.
The mama is cute cute...hubby, son and me - all three of us are so taken with her beauty and we really want to adopt her....But how how how?????
I meowed at her but i think i have not had enough practice!!!
Thanks for your advice!!
Tiger Hehe, being a manager myself, it's difficult.
The real skill of managing is people management and how you treat them.
My boss always told us, who built Taj Mahal?
Is it Shah Jahan?
No, it's the workers!
