I am ripping off Donna Rosato of MONEY Magazine by stealing her “The 21 steps” article…

The 21 steps - Try these steps to get your career in motion.

NEW YORK (MONEY Magazine) - Check out these ways to stay current and -- who knows? -- start pulling ahead.

  • STAY CURRENT - Doing it.
  • FEAR NOT THE BLOG - Don't.
  • DRESS LIKE YOU MEAN IT - Is ghetto chic ok?
  • BE A MENTOR - Sort of.
  • ASSOCIATE WITH DOERS - Used to (the people I hang with use to be the movers and shakers, but of late they are sliding down the food chain, hummmm, might be a reason for this…)
  • REDECORATE - Is ghetto chic ok?
  • SPEAK UP - I use to but lately I find it hard to.
  • THINK POSITIVE - Oops.
  • ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES - Typically wear short sleeves or a t-shirt.
  • FILL EMPTY SPACE - My cube is already full.
  • SEND A MESSAGE - Do spit balls count.
  • MAKE A CO-WORKER OBSOLETE - My co-workers got there first.
  • TAKE A CLASS - Does yoga count?
  • BE THE MOTIVATOR YOUR BOSS DOESN'T HAVE TIME TO BE - aaaah…
  • MAKE E-MAIL STAND OUT - Dude, all those links I send out to cool pictures, jokes, and downloads rock!
  • ALWAYS BRING A CARD - Shit, they gave me 250 when I got here 5 years ago, I have 247 left, so I have got plenty of those…
  • SIGN UP – For what?
  • JOIN THE CLUB - Got my Safeway card right here, saves me up to 5%.
  • GO OVERSEAS - Love the islands, can I go there?
  • SEEK CRITICISM - Don't have to, it finds me.
  • JUST MOVE ON - And when you land that job, reading this article will be completely unnecessary.

I wonder if this is a sign that I have some serious work issues?
