"Policy Decisions"
My boss wanted a "Clean Desk" policy, so
he sent a memo saying that any paper left
on desks would be removed at night and
we would have to fill out a form to get it back.
So we left all our garbage paper on our desks
every night.
In a week, the boss had an office full of garbage,
and we never heard about the policy again.

"Stress Reduction Technique"
Sit quietly and inhale deeply and slowly
through your nose.
Exhale slowly.
Picture yourself near a stream.
Birds are softly chirping in the crisp cool
mountain air.
Nothing can bother you here.
No one knows this secret place.
The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills
the air with a cascade of serenity.
The water is clear.
You breathe deeply.
You can easily make out the face of the person
whose head you're holding under the water.
Look.
It's the person who caused you all this stress
in the first place.
What a pleasant surprise.
You let them up ... just for a quick breath ...
then ploop! ...
Back under they go.
You allow yourself to take as many deep breaths
as you want.
There now ... feeling better?
