Make a good impression.
Demonstrating polite behaviour and small courtesies in the workplace can help to put you in a positive light and set you apart. For instance, make sure you acknowledge people. Remember to say "Hello", "Good morning" and "How are you?" When leaving work, consider saying "Good night" or "See you tomorrow." You will also want to recognize anyone who has helped you. Sending a thank-you note to colleagues, staff or mentors is a thoughtful way to identify the contributions of others.

I especially like the tip to 'consider' saying good night or see you tomorrow. Should I simply gather my things and flounce out then without so much as a good-bye?

I just bring a flask... too cheap to pay for timmies and too lazy to go upstairs for a hit.

Coffee machines out of Star Trek that generate so much needless packing and plastic waste...
