1) Don't try to drive on icy roads. If you can't get there by T, and you can't get a ride, do you really need to be there before this mess melts?

2) Don't set a car on fire.

3) Don't try to do 3 days worth of work in the 2 days before you are going to take a day off, especially if you are taking the day off because you're exhausted and stressed out.

4) Don't be completely irresponsible about walking away from a crisis that is costing the company you work for (or one of their customers) lots of money, just because you want to take a day off. Not even if 2/3 of the company is leaving work early because of snow.

5) Don't take parts of shared equipment out of the engineering shop. Don't even hide them. The main machines stay in place, being large and heavy. The critical measurement devices are usually more-or-less in place, either on the machine or a nearby shelf or table. But when the fiddly little specialized gadget that holds the measurement device on the main machine goes missing, and a person is trying to take a measurement before rushing off because someone said, "I can give you a ride home if you're leaving in 10 minutes," it does not add to the general spirit of joyful cooperation.

6) Don't install windows like the ones in this apartment building. Not only do they make it impossible to install a window air-conditioner, but they tend to slide open slightly in strong winds.
