Steps I’ll take to appear more professional

  1. Carry a briefcase at all times.
  2. Preface all sentences with “I’ll make you a deal,” as in, “I’ll make you a deal, you can have it by noon” or “I’ll make you a deal, Happy Valentine’s Day!“
  3. Wear a tie, even to the pool.
  4. Answer the phone in the third person.
  5. Stop leaving my tag on walls, and start using it to sign contracts.
  6. Refer to T.P. as “my files.”
