Holla Atcha All! Take 4
Bein’ Yer Own Boss
25. Step one in runnin’ a successful merc office: get a hot secretary who’s actually smart, too. Get two, if ya can afford ‘em!
26. If yer secretar(ies) say they need a metric ton’a Post-its, don’t argue! Ya don’t want ‘em burnin’ down th’ office. FN 5
FN 5: Or decidin’ that runnin’ off ta join th’ circus would be better than workin’ fer you. Trust me, it happens.
27. A tastefully decorated office is th’key ta impressin’ clients. I recommend giant portraits’a yerself. Also: fake plants.
28. Hire at least one employee who looks homeless and crazy, ta scare off th’ feebs who ain’t serious ‘bout hirin’ ya. FN 6
FN 6: Bonus points if yer new employee is *actually* crazy. FN 7
FN 7: Negative points if he eats all yer fake plants. Those things ain’t cheap!
29. Being yer own boss means never havin’ ta say yer sorry. Or explain why there’re giant holes in the lobby wall. Remember that.
30. If yer client is crazier than you are, charge ‘em double - it’s pretty much guaranteed you’ll need hazard pay fer th’ nutjobs.
31. Ingredient #1 of a tidy office? Scotch-Guard (ta minimize th’effect of th’ inevitable blood spillage that comes w/ merc werc)
32. Ingredient #2? Duct tape (fer everythin’ else). FN 8
FN 8: Especially those holes in th’ walls. Ya may not have ta explain ‘em, but all those drafts can get annoyin’.
33. When it comes ta payday, remember that you’re th’ boss – an’ give yerself a bonus!
34. If ya got an employee who’s kinda a schmuck but makes good croissants, keep ‘im around the office. Fresh baked goods are SWEET
35. Sure, bein’ boss means ya c’n work in yer PJs, but I say wear yer good togs anyway; killin’ zombies in a bathrobe is hard!
