What advice would you like to give someone at work? You know the person- always late, out of sorts, disorganized and missing every opportunity for a raise…we all work with at least a few of these "special people". Some tips that I’d like to give:
- Arrive early.
- Be well-groomed.
- Send short emails.
- Compliment people.
- Never surprise your boss with bad news.
- Agree to do some unpleasant tasks.
- Complain little.
- Add value to your resume.
- Get all needed certifications and then some.
- Keep your space tidy.

Mike,
Great post. Check out http://productivityathome.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/05/avoid-being-a-d.html
for my adaptation of your stellar tips for the home setting.
I need to post these words of wisdom on my computer monitor.
Thanks, as always!
Lisa
