    Default I can teach you how to control People

    Doesn't work all the time. Works best after about 1PM...and on about 50-75% of people.


    Break-break...


    I'm a 'hi!'-er. When I pass people I almost always look at them and say 'Hiya!'...or offer the greeting of the day.


    Now - I don't say the greeting of the day per se...I almost always say, enthusiastically "MORNIN'!!!" knowing FULL well it's well after 1pm. By saying 'morning' to them I FORCE them to say...one of the following..

    "Morn-you mean Good Afternoon!!"

    "G'Mornin'?? It's not morning! It's afternoon! Yuk-yuka"


    To either of those I repspond with "eh? Semantics..."


    it's neat. Try it.
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    If I ever get out of the office and bother to greet people, I'll try it.

    When it is afternoon and I make that comment, they get depressed, cause they thought it was morning.

    Kinda like saying:

    Happy monday....

    I find they hate that when I "bounce" in on weds and say that. Though I think it is funny. So then I say:

    Ah, you're right.

    Whats up? Oh

    you're awesome

    excellent

    can you finish that by the end of the day? Yes. Nice, good job.

    Need that by (if time give minimum two days, unless SOL or court date) two days from now, is that possible? Yes. Awesome.


    They think the guy before me is an ass. They say I make them feel like it is a two way street. If they can't do it, WE find a way.

    So far so good. Though I am not yet 35.

    POLICE, FREEZE!

    UP AGAINST THE WALL MOTHAFUCKER!

    PUT YOUR HANDS ON YOUR HEAD!

    KEEP YOUR HANDS WERE I CAN SEE THEM!

    Never got many smiles but always got cooperation.
    When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.

    You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.
