“modus operandi”
I’m sure you’re all familiar with the book “48 laws on power” by Robert Greene. When it comes to power he’s the go to guy after the sudden death of Machiavelli. We have a very liberal work environment..to liberal in my opinion…but after reading the powerbook that was all about to change…I decided to pick a few pieces of advice form mister Greene and focus my attention…The rules aren’t specific so I decided to work with them in a frame of interpretation…
“Always Say Less than Necessary”
Jesper: Do you have the final size for the poster…?
Andreas: …4…
Jesper: …
Andreas: ….
Jesper: …not a classic way of describing a size…is it …?
Andreas: ….
Jesper: …normally we use more specific details…like X x Y…
Andreas: ….
Jesper: Forget it…
Andreas: ….
Jesper: No really…Forget it…
“Make other People come to you – use Bait if Necessary”
Made a trail of hard cash from Michaels desk to the kitchen…after picking up all the money (leading to me standing in the kitchen…) the following conversation takes place…
Michael : Hey…did you see all the cash lying around
Me (trying to sound like Redford in three days of the concord): …yes..
Michael : That’s beermoney right there…and a lot of it too…
Me :…
Michael : You don’t say much these days…do you…
Me :…5…
Michael : …good stuff with all the money though….that’s nice
Me :…
Michael : oki doki…catch you on the flipside…
Me :…(crap)…
“Learn to Keep People Dependent on You”
Text to Jesper and Michael friday afternoon… “Hi…took your creditcards and keys…see you monday…”
“Keep Others in Suspended Terror: Cultivate an Air of Unpredictability”
Monday 9:54 AM…strapped 32 sticks of fake dynamite to my waste and started eating a lot of chilli to get that “I’m about to blow myself up” sweat going…Spent 40 minutes staring directly at Jesper before removing my left shoe to slap him in the face with it…it did in fact create a sense of Unpredictability…
Let me say this much….that guy Greene (with the posh last “e” attached to a otherwise perfect lastname…) is full of crap…I’m not allowed to work in the same room as the rest of the office and I have to attend anger management every monday for the next 3 years….power my ass….

It’s actually a remake he did in the beginning of the sundance-days…not as widely knows as the one you mention as the whole thing is shot entirely in a small townhouse i Suez…Redford is the first fighter pilot using the concorde in a interstellar dog-fight over northern Ireland… quite good if you ask me… (and in no way is this typo as baad as when you left a spunge inside a guy who had his toenail removed…)
