Today's NYC weather is exactly what it was like the day I went to the opera in Sydney. Dry and warm and windy with a huge storm due any moment. I'm wearing a BPAL that smells like the plants there too, and it's weird.

hehehe

I am coding this Financial Times article about how "scariness" is "in" again in the work place. It even provides four tips from a Professor Roderick Kramer on how to boost your "S-factor" (this is about where I started giggling):

1. Intimidate people by invading their personal space.
2. Get angry, even if you really aren't.
3. Keep people guessing by acting sullen and silent. (and this was where I decided I _had_ to share this with you all)
4. Know the facts, and even if you don't, pretend to.

According to the article, "Professor Kramer argues that the good intimidating leader may sometimes bully people, but it must be to achieve an end, rather than to simply enjoy the humiliation of the person at the wrong end of it."


I, meanwhile, am a big nerd who cannot. stop. laughing.
