in order to be taken for granted
do things for people
assume nothing in return
be reliable
don’t be the squeaky wheel
be the busiest one in the room
do all that you say will do
on time, efficiently, well
be tireless at your business
in order to not be noticed
head down, just do your job
draw no more than necessary attention
show care
listen
take into consideration
be open
confide as required
(‘need to know’, I mean)
be realistic, accept the facts
all differences worth making
must be incremental
try to limit pity for self
never mind talking just to you though
go with the flow
suffer fools too
never expect too much
neither make demands
but see your way
by halo light
rectify gently
where possible
remain anonymous
‘the harder they come…’
and so on
let virtue be its own reward
then you’ll be half way there
if you want to
be part of the furniture
this is just
how it goes
