13 Steps To Maintain A Healthy Level Of Insanity

general-business-richardstep-focus-planning-self

Keep looking folks!

We all need to step out of the office mind-set on occasion and just kind of gel into what really is meant to be… well… us.  Get up out of the mind that puts you in a rut and always focused on being someone else’s paid robot for a company that probably cares just enough about you to keep your paychecks coming… but not much else.

Okay, okay.  That’s a little harsh.  Here are some methods to help keep you on the right side of Sane and Insane.  You decide what works best for you… and what kind of jacket you like to wear.

Steps To Maintain A Healthy Level Of Insanity:

01. Sit In Your Parked Car With Sunglasses on and point a Hair Dryer At Passing Cars….. See If They Slow Down.

02. Page Yourself Over The Intercom. Don’t Disguise Your Voice.

03. Every Time Someone Asks You To Do Something, ask If They Want Fries with that.

04. Put Decaf In The Coffee Maker For 3 Weeks . Once Everyone has Gotten Over Their Caffeine Addictions, Switch to Espresso.

05. In the Memo Field Of All Your Checks, Write ‘For Time-Travel.’

06. Skip down the hall Rather Than Walk and see how many looks you get.

07. Order a Diet Water whenever you go out to eat, with a serious face.

08. Specify That Your Drive-through Order Is ‘To Go’.

09. Sing Along At The Opera.

10. Five Days In Advance, Tell Your Friends You Can’t Attend Their Party Because You have a headache.

11. When The Money Comes Out The ATM, Scream ‘I Won! I Won!’

12. When Leaving the Zoo, Start Running towards the Parking lot, Yelling ‘Run For Your Lives! They’re Loose!’

13. Tell Your Children Over Dinner, ‘Due To The Economy, We Are Going To Have To Let One Of You Go.’

How do you think you can maintain a health level of insanity?
