#2 of my 5 dangerous and unsolicited rants for fin de l'année 2012.
This write-up is my first effort in becoming an important Thought Leader, since the conveyance of as-yet unpublished wisdom is what now seems to be a critical contributor to the American service sector. Now, it has been statistically proven that most individuals have given up listening to the old “still small voice” inside themselves and have instead opened up hungrily to others who convey steadfast confidence against all odds. I have placed this cache and log, in part, to grab the attention of those aimlessly wandering minds – this from the state with the simple, but misleading motto “Dirigo” - seeking pleasure in being lost in the proverbial woods. Now, on to the real business here:
In order to be a successful citizen and model employee (and geocacher), one must first wake up in the morning with a positive attitude. It helps to have a glass of water next to the bed upon awakening, so you can splash it in your face. The bed water will evaporate by the time you get home from working late into the evening hour. This is true since, if you really need to be reading this, you are most likely being exploited at work. Alternatively, you can splash it on your partner’s face, if it better serves your morning mood. Do not overuse this latter strategy, as it may eventually prove counterproductive.
Your second stage should be to proceed to the bathroom where you will grapple at the mirror with your waking persona in a process I call “girding your loins”, also known by other professionals as “the Narcissus Effect.” Here you will act out your murderous rage by staring at your reflected image, gritting your teeth in an ugly manner, snarling aloud, clawing wildly, and generally acting threateningly, all the while repeating the phrase in your imagination, “You are a good person.” Or, “You are a beautiful person.” (The former if you are male, and the latter if you are female). During this time, you can inspect your mouth to see if you have any telltale pieces of spinach caught between your teeth from the previous night's dinner.
As you then move on to dress yourself, it is important to remember the difference between a “power outfit” and a “power lunch”. One is meant to be worn and one is meant to be eaten. This is a subtler point than many people realize: if you dress ostentatiously, people may accuse you of being a “ham actor”. This is not necessarily positive feedback, even though others in your household or family see you as “bringing home the bacon.” More on this in our next installment.
TH is FTF, and 2 for 2 on the new series. Maybe he is the only one caching anymore. Can we keep him on the run?
