 Unix Tip #4217- August 28, 2012
 
NEW TIP BETTER THAN OLD TIP!  
  
Sorry about the Y2K tip, we have been  
testing a new Tip mailer. Hated it!  
Here is the real tip that was  
suppose to go out today:  
  
------------------------------  
  
WALK THE CUBES  
  
Some times at work there are  
dry periods when the users don't  
call. Walk the halls even if  
there is nothing to do. Being  
seen by users makes them feel that  
you are always around for them.  
  
Some users are hesitant to call at  
times, and some feel you are never  
around to help. When you walk  
the area ask different users each  
time if everything is alright.  
A simple way to stay proactive.  
  
Also, if you charge your time  
back to a department, make sure that  
you walk past managers offices. They  
will feel that you are there to work  
on the employees problems and  
they're being well taken care of.  
Even if everythig is okay, and they  
ask what the problems are, let them  
know you are there because you care.  
  
Alittle TLC goes along ways.  
 NOTE: All tips provided are USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Tips are submitted
by various unix admins around the globe. UGU suggest you read and
test each tip in a non-volitile environment before placing into
production.
