Survey Questions About Office Etiquette

Monday was a holiday which meant I was all alone at the radio station for awhile, so I went ahead and ate a tuna fish sandwich, with my shoes off while clipping my nails and passing gas! NOT!




Here are ten questions from a recent survey on office etiquette . . .


 1.  Is it okay to play music without headphones in?  94% say it's unacceptable.  Only 6% of us are fine with it.


2.  Is it okay to eat really smelly food at your desk, like tuna?  63% say no.  37% say it's your lunch, so eat whatever you want, and they'll deal with the smell.


3.  Is it okay to take your shoes off at your desk?  56% say yes.  44% say no, never.


4.  How about clipping your nails at your desk?  93% say no.  7% say go for it.  They're probably assuming FINGERNAILS though, not toenails.  100% shouldn't do that.


5.  Is it okay to occasionally make personal phone calls at work?  51% say no.  49% say it's fine, as long as it's not all the time.


6.  Should you mute your cell phone, so it doesn't make noise all day when you get text messages?  75% say mute it.  25% don't care.


7.  Is putting your feet up on your desk acceptable?  82% say no, it's unprofessional.


8.  Is it ever okay to eat a coworker's food from the office fridge?  97% say NEVER.  3% say yes.


9.  Is it okay to PASS GAS in the office?  66% say hold it in or go somewhere else, like the bathroom.  34% say just let it rip.

Winter storm

Are you a little amused by the television wags and their coverage of the winter storm battering the east coast? I realize there's hardships with such a storm, but what about us?   What is it we've been putting up with? 75 degrees and sunny skies?  Catch Steve, afternoons 3-7 on KZ-100

melting / las vegas

The Beach Boys had a song titled "The Warmth of he Sun". Seems to be the mantra in getting this snow and ice off the roads. You may want to catch a part of the Grammies this weekend on CBS. Mixed in with the hip-hop music will be Eric Church, Maren Morris and Brothers Osborne with a song dedicated to the victims of the Las Vegas massacre. On that subject of the Las Vegas tragedy, it seems like multiple groups are keeping information from the public. I've read that advance notice may have been known by some public and private groups. Hmmm?

Favorite Christmas

Probably in the mid 60's...my brother Richard got a stingray 12 speed bike and I got a mini-bike, we always had a little rivalry, he was a year older than me and challenged me to a race. Yea, that's right a race, his pedal power and my 3 1/2 horsepower mini-bike, we headed down to Patton Elementary school (Ft. Ord-California) where there was a 50 yard track. And we're off...I blew him away and shut him up for the rest of the day!
