What's Your Work Ritual?

You have one; I guarantee it.  A little something that you do everyday to magically try to control your world.  For example, here’s what I do:

Right before I swipe my company ID and enter the building in the morning I kiss my right fist, knock on my chin three times and kiss my fist again.

Sounds weird, I know.

As I do it, I say a mini-prayer (to anyone who’s listening) that the day will be decent, without any office catastrophes.  I’m not 100% certain where the ritual started, but I think I can trace it back to when the Yankees started making the playoffs in the mid-90s.  I started knocking on my chin and the Yankees started to win – why the heck would I stop?  In fact, my chin might be responsible for four world championships.  

Of course not.  

In fact, if I needed further proof, look at this week’s playoff elimination.  But I’m sticking with it.  While I might not really be controlling the day, I like the illusion of power.

Now it’s YOUR turn.  Do you have a work ritual that you want to share?  Or better yet, a co-worker’s habit you’d like to expose?  Comment before October 15 and be entered to win prizes.
