Ninja Essay

So DFL has to write a 750 word essay on a skill that everyone should master.
Truly a difficult and daunting task. After all, there are so many skills that your modern office ninja needs. Just for basics there's:

* Supply Acquisition and Retention (Stapler Stealing for Dummies)
* CYA Defense Maneouvers
*Wrists of Steel (For typing intesive ninjas)
*Master the evil phone Djinn
*Bouncing rubber band ball of death

For those a little more advanced in their office ninja training there's:

*Accounts Receivable
*Sphixian Riddles and Sneaky Appointment Calendar Management (Defend that office!)
*Defeating the Mass Mailing Monster
(although that last one is more of a mystic quest than a skill)

Any others you can think of? Feel free to elucidate in the comments.

Good Luck on getting her to write the essay. She experiences this 5 days a week, I really dont think, she wants to write about it.

I didn't assign the essay, her evil university taskmasters did. Although I believe she wimped out and decided to do "second language skills" and thus earn herself and "A."
Peh, what are mere grades next to the beautiful art that is office ninja?
