    Open Door Policy?

    Come by any time, you know I have an 'Open Door' policy.

    I mean, unless I am in one of my 8 standing weekly meetings, or 10-12 ad-hoc meetings that pop up every week.

    Or if I am on the phone.  

    Or if I am intently responding to one of the 79 e-mails in my inbox marked 'Urgent'.  

    Aside - if you send e-mails and mark them as 'urgent' and the subject matter does not involve  bodily injury, hospitalization, or natural disaster, then you are half a jerk.

    Or if I am setting the roster for my fantasy sports team.

    Or if I am actively monitoring our employer brand on the Social Networks playing Mafia Wars.

    Come to think of it, I am not sure I really have an 'Open Door' policy after all.  

    In fact, I had better close the door and enact a new policy :

    Sign outside Frank Sinatra's residence circa 1965

    If that is the 'true' policy, better to be upfront about it, don't you think?
