When at work, we are all faced with choices that help shape our day, our lives and who we are.  The following are examples of choices I faced just this morning within one hour at work (I’m not making this up).  What would you do?  Tell me about your choices/experiences that you have faced.

You’re sitting at your desk at work, and you encounter a co-worker walking towards you, vigorously scratching the top of his head with his right hand.  Maybe this is a person you want to:

1. Tell needs to go home and take a shower and wash that nasty scalp!
2. Stop!(in the name of Dandruff!!)
3. Push into the nearest trash can to be hauled out to the county landfill.
4. Ignore (Monkey don’t hear, don’t see, don’t speak…..but monkey don’t shake that hand either!)

Several weeks back, you bought a can of Pringles (I love those processed chips!) and open that “pop-top” only to discover that every chip in the can has been shell-shocked and broken to crumbly bits.  Your reaction is to:

1. Keep on eatin’ cause eatin’s good and ain’t nutin’ wrong with them there chips!
2. Look closely at the expiration date and rationalize that they expire in one week so you can keep on eatin’ them there chips!
3. Actually see the advertisement on the can that calls for you to enter a contest from the previous year, look at the expiration date, and again, keep on eatin’ them there chips!
4. Stop eatin’ them there chips and offer them to the office moocher.

Your boss comes back from vacation in Florida.  She brings in a set of Mickey Mouse pens for you to pick from.  You pick:

1. the one on the end…for no particular reason.
2. the one in the middle….because “the money’s in the middle!” or is it “the monkey’s in the middle”?
3. the one on the other end……again, for no particular reason.
4. none….and get fired as a result.
