Wisdom
I got this from Mark Pilgrim's website:
Blame others for your mistakes
It's not enough to succeed; others must fail
Customers should be seen and not heard, just like women, children, and small furry animals
Every process should be re-invented from scratch
If you can not win, quit; there's no point being a damn fool about it
Avoid the real world for as long as possible
Know the questions your boss is going to ask; it allows you to poke fun at them more efficiently
Trade inside information as if you owned the company, and maybe someday you will
"I will find out" is a good phrase to use to blow people off and avoid doing any real work
Creativity is not your job
If you are going to drop the ball, arrange for someone else to take the blame
Deliver bad news over and over again until your stupid-ass employees get it through their thick skulls
Give your team a hill to climb, then go fishing in the valley
Praise publicly, satirize privately
