Just a nice feel good note left for a new employee reminding him/her that it’s ok to be a human instead of a productivity robot. I think everyone needs to take a break from reading their “10 Ways to be More Productive” articles in the morning, and read this instead.

It’s ok too..

• Say “I Don’t Know”
• Ask for more clarity
• Stay at home when you feel ill
• Say you don’t understand
• Ask what acronyms stand for
• Forget things

• Not know everything
• Have quiet days
• Have loud days, to talk, joke, and laugh
• Put your headphones on
• Say “No” when you’re too busy
• Make mistakes
• Sing
• Sigh
• Not check your email out of hours
• Not check your email constantly during hours
