Weirdness on my current job front.  Our building is getting a much needed makeover: Carpet and paint. They ordered us to work from home for a month while the place undergoes renno.

First they told us that we had to be out of the office no later than close of business Friday. I warned my boss that they’d chase us out sooner than that. He said, “Naw. They said Friday at 5.  They mean Friday at 5.”

He was called out of town abruptly. He wasn’t worried because he thought he still had plenty of time to pack up his office.

Then we got the update email: Be out Thursday by Noon.

Then at 11 a.m. today, the place had cleared out except for me and my boss’s cluttered office. They started dismantling cubes all around my office. The project manager kept stopping at my office door every fifteen minutes and giving me disapproving looks. So… I’m out. Despite orders from my boss not to leave until they pried my fingernails from the doorframe, I’m out. I’m trying to set up my office in the house before my wife gets home and I’m failing miserably.

So, just a quickie for Wordcraft Wednesday: Twenty-two Things Creative People Do Differently.

No real shockers here to anyone with a creative streak. It’s all a rehash of “water is wet” obviousness you’ve seen before. Take you all of 45 seconds to breeze through the fluff.

What say you? Let’s tip our hat to Captain Obvious, but what’s not on the list?  I’d posit that three common sister traits of creative people are:

Self destructiveness

Proneness to depression and

Homosexuality.

Or perhaps it’s more accurate to say that creativity is a side effect of homosexuality. Either way, depression, creativity, and homosexuality have to travel on the same gene. Not every creative is gay and not every gay is creative. But… Too much overlap in the creative community not to have a dab of genetic glue between the girders of that pyramid.

What else?
