RULE OF THUMB #2

Rule of Thumb #2:

It is always better to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

This one is pretty much true across the board, whether it be your purchase of a 50 inch plasma TV without your wife's knowledge or your changing the look of a report that your boss has been using for ten years. Don't ask "Hey, can I do this?" because the answer will be "No". However, if you go ahead and do it, and they get a chance to see the product, then it's a lot easier to just say "I'm sorry!". It doesn't hurt that it's less words too!
