I'm torn between trying to get my colleagues in the Warsaw office to include CRUMPERS (Croatia, Romania, Ukraine, Montenegro, Poland, Estonia, Russia, Serbia) or GRUMBLERS (Georgia, Romania, Ukraine, Montenegro, Bosnia, Latvia, Estonia, Russia, Serbia) in their 2013 strategy plan.

An electronic device to reduce procrastination in the office. It attaches to the wall, and every half an hour (or less depending on the needs of your particular office) blares out a version of the Bee Gee's 'You Should Be Dancing', but with the lyrics changed to 'You Should Be Working'.

Start a moving company called Juicy Brutes. The theme song is just like Juicy Fruit - "Juicy Brutes, they're gonna move ya! Juicy Brutes, they get right to ya! Juicy Brutes, they're really really really gonna mooooove ya!". I would make the moving brutes wear shorts that say "JUICY" across the butt
