#263 Replace negative notes

Tomorrow it’s back to work for those readers with a job. On a Sunday, that can feel hard to bare, but to make this autumn’s work less of a bore we at 365 decided to help you: Here is "Seven things you can do at your workplace".

I don’t know how I ended up hosting Filmkrönikan for SVT. I could tell you how I confronted the big Russian in charge of culture and entertainment on the stairs in the studio and gave him a piece of my mind. It went fast from there. Then, I got yelled at because I hadn’t seen a single film by Ingmar Bergman. Then I saw all of Bergman's films. But I still didn’t fit in. But that’s not essential for this story. It's not about me. It is all about signs. Note. Angry messages with a lot of exclamation points.

"Wash up after yourself!!!!!"

"Do not forget to flush!!!!"

"Unwashed coffee cups are a breeding ground for cholera!"

"Your mother does not work here!!!!!!"

They exist in every workplace. No one knows who puts them up. But one could assume that people sneak in at night like angry ninjas and tape up the notes with their hands shaking with furious loathing. Then everyone walks around like nervous hens every time they forget to rinse a coffee cup.

To this day I feel like writing new notes. Sending a nicer message. Encouraging a nicer tone for the work place.

Bonus - A note can contain a clothesline and clothespins.

Required time: 
1 day or less
Cost: 
Free
Cons: 
The angry note ninjas may get even angrier and flood your work place with new notes like "Do not put your own notes !!!!!!!"
Pros: 
It can lighten the mood in the workplace. Notes at the counter, in toilets and other areas affect people in a workplace more than you think.
