Five Bits of Advice I Would Give to a Very Nice Guy at Work

...if they weren't so petty and that actually saying them to his face would be pretty awkward. And a little mean.

1. The shoes that you wear every Friday that everyone comments on? While being pleasantly out-of-character, they also clearly identify you as The Noisome Dweller In Stall Two.
2. Get a sense of humor, even a fake one. When I secretly rearranged your gaudy "GO TIGERS" craft-store letter block display of fan pride to say "EGO GRIST," "GO GET IRS" and then "I ROT EGGS," it deserved some kind of comment. Quietly putting them back into "TIGER" configuration every time? Without saying a word to anyone? Kind of creepy.
3. Don't keep asking your cube neighbor to "take a look at this" to showcase whatever Mad Skill you've discovered via the "Filter" menu in Photoshop. It's nice you're learning a new non-work-related skill, but, you know, just stop.
4. Also, if you're going to be spending hours of work time experimenting with all the lighting and gradient tricks you can do on an image of a football helmet, don't keep turning around furtively to see if someone in authority is watching. Own your malfeasance proudly, or stop it. Or learn to sneak better.
5. Lastly, I'd scale back on the complaining about how you've got too much work to do. At least, you know, until you finish all that helmet art.
