being a "mind ninja"

most of us work right?
I am not my own boss anymore.

seriously tho, I cant help but snicker and laugh at ppl that are obviously out of control w/their position of authority
a manager tried to write me up for proposing him and I have a cook off in the kitchen.

My issue is Ive been cooking for 15 years, I don't need a manager coming in on my shift and cooking for me. I felt I had the right to tease him a little and I was laughing. Wow is he sensitive. I refused to sign his ridiculous right up and got sent home. LOL WHO GETS SENT HOME FROM WORK??

Anyway..as I laugh at this, I need a way to gracefully Mind Ninja this jerk and a few others I work with. Just until I find another job. Since you all are the most hilarious beasts Ive ever come across, Id like some ideas. Trust me I will find a way to use them.

I'm assuming your use of "Mind Ninja" was about your own attitudes and mindfulness - not about controlling someone else's mind. You were asking about different ways of thinking to get through a work environment you don't like, right?

As I understand your situation, you worked for yourself for awhile, and now are working for someone. You don't like your manager doing something that you yourself could do perfectly well. I suspect your cook-off challenge was stated in front of others (my assumption), and that may have put your manager in an awkward position.

Said manager decided to write you up, and as is the policy of most establishments, you were asked to sign the write up. You refused to sign the write up and were sent home. I'll bet this procedure is stated in the employee handbook. Though the manager may in fact be an over-sensitive jerk who is demonstrating his authority, he does have that authority. He's the manager. You called him out. Is this a battle you really want to have?

I think the "Mind Ninja" trick you may be looking for is called Humility.

Let me see your war face!

Strange tattoo. Silly expression. Bangs not symmetrical.

3 out of 10. Would not bang.

I'm sure she will be heartbroken.

Some of these are just for me!

Then shouldn't you have said "3 out of 10, would not *kitten* to"?

Lol, didn't I used to be married to you?

yes that's exactly to a T what I meant and what went down. I have plenty of Humility concerning this one manager, Ive disregarded the other 100x he has thrown his weight around. No one sticks up for them selves when it comes to him. I took one for the team. Im on my way into work tonight, so Im gonna let him know its squashed.

I really need to ignore him another 100 more times until I leave. That's my "humility"

Well, perhaps your next step is to challenge him to a humble off.

Just start singing:

I'm a Barbie girl, in the Barbie world
Life in plastic, it's fantastic!
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation
Come on Barbie, let's go party!

I'm a Barbie girl, in the Barbie world
Life in plastic, it's fantastic!
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation

Everytime you're at work.
