While working with aliens, learn how to have fun with memos and e-mail. The lifeblood of the modern corporation is e-mail. This is what aliens call "communication." Even corporate janitors are required to have e-mail. So be it. Learn to use it effectively, get some laughs, and preserve your

Most of us are probably making a living working for a corporate alien already. After a few months of alien rambling about the "bottom line," some of us begin to feel like we should look for employment elsewhere. Remember that the world is becoming an alien corporation and no matter where you go, you'll probably face a similar situation. So instead of sending out that resume (unless you expect to get a job with a lot more money), draw the line and make a stand. You can actually enjoy work a lot more if you fearlessly face the enemy.

The biggest effect aliens have is the unusual amount of pressure (most of it psychological) they put on their employees, so that the health of the employees suffer. If you take them very seriously, you will ruin your health. To preserve your physical well being in a corporate environment you should:

• Exercise before coming to work.
• Meditate fifteen minutes daily.
• Take antioxidant vitamins.
• Read Dilbert.
• Laugh at the idiot aliens instead of taking them seriously.
• Avoid drugs and alcohol - Be clear headed even though your bosses may not be.
• Put your boss' face on a punching bag and use it daily.

While working with aliens, learn how to have fun with memos and e-mail. The lifeblood of the modern corporation is e-mail. This is what aliens call "communication." Even corporate janitors are required to have e-mail. So be it. Learn to use it effectively, get some laughs, and preserve your health. When they push you for results on something stupid, write a polite e-mail asking them to clarify a few things that you don't understand. Tell them that without their input, you are confused and cannot perform the task adequately. That always catches them off guard, and takes considerable time before they reply.

What they consider as productivity is directly proportional to the number of e-mails and memos you write. They will promote someone who does nothing but write e-mails and memos all day over someone who does an excellent job but has no time to document his or her efforts.

When you succeed praise yourself by sending an e-mail or memo to your boss and other interested parties. This is documentation that you are doing a good job. If you don't do this, no one else will record what you have done. Aliens have a tendency to only document your mistakes.

Keep all documentation relating to any corporate alien screw ups. If they try to blame you, write an e-mail to try to shift the blame back to them.

Consider getting a small voice recorder and take it regularly and secretly to meetings. Actions of some bosses behind closed doors can be quite revealing. If nothing else, it can provide material for
