Life...is like a video game

...from All I Needed to Know I Learned in Video Games, Part 1

2. Always, always be moving. This is most true in multiplayer. Don't hang around waiting, because even though you have the sniper rifle, they might have the shotgun. You're just asking to be sneaked up on. This is a great technique to apply to the office. Walking around, everyone sees that you are there, but you always look busy, on your way to doing something else. They can't pin you down to ask you to do stuff. Plus, it's just good exercise. And speaking of moving...

3. Strafe and stick to the walls. I learned this way back in Doom. Check before you pass doorways, too. Sure you look silly hugging the wall but if there's ever a crazed gunman at your school or local grocery store you'll have a much higher survival rate if you employ this technique. I should add that when possible, kick down the doors to keep your hands free for fightin...and to eliminate any potential threats that may be lurking just behind.
