Daily Feng Shui Tip 10/28/09

If you have any persnickety or cranky co-workers then today’s the day to celebrate ‘em! 

I’m so not kidding. Honestly, someone thought that your cranky co-workers needed a day all to themselves, and, so, voila!

Now, if your cranky co-workers are actually frenemies in the workplace too, then you’re going to need to take a little more action than just paying for their double decaf mocha with skim milk and giving them a feeble fake smile.

If you think you are the object of some back-biting office politics then try not to either cry or crow about it, but, rather, let the rooster handle the offender and the issue. 

In fact, a small statue of a rooster on your desk is believed to be able to overcome any sort of backstabbing in the work place.

Taoist Feng Shui practitioners say that the red comb on the head of the rooster is an all-powerful office ass deterent and that the claws can quell gossip, backbiting and partisan politicking in as much time as it takes them to sharpen theirs. 

Now, if for whatever reason, you can’t keep a teensy statue of the rooster on your desk at work, he can still make that cranky co-worker fly the coop if you keep him anywhere inside the ‘Fame’ area of the main floor of your living space.

In both cases, be sure that his beak is pointing to the south or at least away from you. 

Pretty soon your boss will be asking you if you remember that cranky cock-a-doodle-who?
