What's your work image?

You may not agree with everything Penelope Trunk writes in her blog Brazen Careerist, but it is interesting in any event. For example, she thinks you should consider bringing cupcakes to work. Why? Because if you are well liked at work, it will make your work easier. She even suggests that you forgo the Krispy Kremes and bake your own offering. The point is that your work image should show compassion, caring, and humanity, and bringing in homemade treats is one way to convey that. It's probably easier than doing a blood drive or collecting for a charity.
