There are countless lessons you can only learn on the job. Sure you will make some unfortunate mistakes along the way, but you will learn from them over time. However, there are certain things you should know never to do - whether you're the CEO or the intern - you'll want to avoid these office blunders.

1. Never Microwave Fish: We've experienced this on our office floor, and it's not pretty. This is an easy way to lose friends and eat lunch alone forever. Burning your popcorn in the microwave doesn't bode well either.

2. Never Scream Over the Phone: You can make a personal call here and there, but getting into a full-blown fight with your ex-boyfriend in front of your co-workers? They want to tune into bad reality TV in the evening, not at the office.

3. Never Snoop through Your Co-workers Computer/Desk: It's tempting when you're sitting at someone's computer to glance down at their incoming messages, but it's an absolute no-no to go through your co-worker's e-mails.

4. Never Talk About How Much Money You Make: Did you just find out you're up for a big raise? Keep it to yourself. You don't want your co-workers a.) walking up to your manager demanding their own salary increase or b.) secretly hating you (they will) from that point on.

5. Never Call Out Sick to Hit up Bloomingdales: Yes, sometimes we could all use some retail therapy to de-stress outside the office. But skipping work to hit up a sale, and then showing up looking healthy and trendy in a new outfit? RISKY!

6. Never Over Share with Co-workers: Find a couple of friends you can trust in the office, and even with them be careful what you disclose. Your overly quiet cubemate doesn't need to hear all the details from last weekend's bachelorette party, or the progress of fungal infection cream you're using on your toe. T.M.I.!

7. Never Take the Role of Office Gossip: You may feel like the Queen Bee at work, but you'll be known as the one who spreads the juicy, and sometimes fictional, stories. People will stop trusting you with any information, personal and professional. It's always better to be known in the office as someone trustworthy.

I recently spent a long weekend in California, my first trip to the golden state. I left NYC early on a Friday morning, with a pretty ambitious plan to see as much of San Francisco and Sonoma County as possible. Throughout the trip I jotted down tips to share with iMag reader. The first tip came pretty early on in the trip. Tip #1 for traveling for a long weekend: always bring earplugs! You never know who you'll end up next to on a plane or train, and you'll need plenty of beauty sleep for a busy weekend. I sat next to one of the worst snorers, ever. It was painful trying to fall asleep, and none of my somewhat questionable tactics (elbowing him by "accident") seemed to deter him.

My mood instantly changed the second we landed in San Francisco. I finally felt myself start to relax, and even resented my snoring neighbor a little less when I saw him at the baggage claim. The first thing I did in CA was go to the infamous In-N-Out burger chain near the airport. The burgers there are as delicious as people describe them to be, and the place has a very 1950s wholesome feel to it. Next my friends and I drove up to Sonoma County, and saw The Golden Gate Bridge along the way. The drive up to the vineyards was absolutely beautiful. Tip #2: Always take the scenic route! We stayed in the town of Sonoma, which I would absolutely recommend. The wineries and vineyards were incredible, and every single person I met there was lovely. We spent time walking around the town, setting up a picnic of cheese and wine, and peeking into all the different shops. My favorite restaurant in town was The Girl and The Fig, and the best winery was Ravenswood. Tip #3: Stay at a hotel in Sonoma that rents bikes. We were able to bike along breathtaking routes and snap pictures of the vineyards along the way.

After two days in Sonoma, we spent a day in San Francisco. Our first stop was the Mission District of the city, to check out a sandwich shop I had read about in the latest issue of Vanity Fair. Tartine Bakery and Café truly has one of the best sandwiches in the country, the fromage blanc and banana pressed sandwich. Tartine was packed when we arrived, and definitely a trendy spot. The seating consists of long tables, and we started chatting with the women seated next to us. They turned out to live in the neighborhood and shared their favorite sites in the city. Tip #4: Always ask locals for their recommendations. You'll skip all of the tourist traps.

After eating a delicious meal we headed off with a new list of sites to see. We visited The Castro neighborhood, and then drove over to The Ferry Building to walk around the indoor market and look out at the San Francisco Bay. Another area we visited, that I would highly recommend, is the Golden Gate Park. Two great places to visit within the park: The California Academy of Sciences Museum and the Tea Garden. Tip #5: Find a good map. Even though I've grown accustomed to looking everything up on my BlackBerry, consulting a map of the city helped us all grow familiar with the area. We were able to drive from place to place without getting too lost.

I loved each area we visited because with limited time we could only visit the sites that appealed to us the most. Tip #6: Enjoy your time away from everything over a long weekend. Put down the BlackBerry, try different things and make the most of your time in a new place. Staring out at the Pacific Ocean on my last day in San Francisco, completely relaxed and stress-free, all of the traveling for a short weekend felt completely worth it.

Do you have a favorite spot in San Francisco or Sonoma?

The men in my office are already starting to talk about the start of football season. Over here at iMag I mostly think about career and travel content all day, less about my fantasy football picks. But it did make me think about how much more fun it would be to pick out a fantasy office team. As in the people you'd actually choose to work with.

Creative minds, hysterical sitcom characters, fictional roles from your favorite book ... living or dead you could match anyone together. For instance, I would LOVE to have someone as funny as Dwight from The Office around, or Tracy Jordan from 30 Rock appearing at my office whenever he feels like showing up for work. It would be cool to have a boss like Tess from Working Girl around for inspiration. I'd obviously take a pass on Miranda from The Devil Wears Prada, but maybe have Emily around (only if she was on my side). It wouldn't hurt to have a genius like Albert Einstein, or Christina from Ugly Betty for moral support.

Who would you want on your fantasy office team? Fill out the list below, send it in to iMag and we'll post it on the iMag blog.

The CEO:
The Boss:
The Manager:
The Co-workers:
The Office Clown:
The Office Gossip:

In an ideal world we could pick and choose who we want around our office. For now I'll leave you with these tips to make it through this Monday morning, and a great article on how to deal with an array of boss' from HR Guru's "13 Kinds of Bosses and How to Make Them Love You."

As a self-proclaimed caffeine addict I'm fully aware that I need my coffee early in the morning, and before I see anyone in my office (this is for their sake, not mine). It's also part of my routine, every day I arrive at the same Dunkin' Donuts and ask for the same exact drink (large hazelnut coffee, skim milk and one regular sugar, please). Based on the time I catch the subway I can even predict how long the line will be. Basically, over the past year I have grown more than attached to this Dunkin' Donuts.

So imagine my surprise when I entered the store two days ago and realized it had been completely re-modeled, and I didn't recognize a single person there. Of course I was in complete denial, thinking perhaps all of my familiar faces were on a big group holiday and they had simply renovated the existing space. It took me a full three minutes to truly wake up and realize that I wasn't even in Dunkin' Donuts. Overnight it had transformed into a completely different food chain! The man in front of me turned and said, "They're gone! This isn't Dunkin' Donuts!!" We were horrified and immediately headed to the door. There I was on the streets of NYC bonding with a complete stranger. Before we parted to go our separate ways (and search desperately for the nearest coffee cart), we agreed that we could never go into this "replacement." It just wasn't the same.

Ever since my morning meltdown I have felt completely off on my way to work. Today my co-worker Brooke, who writes Dish and Decorate, gently suggested I try a different Dunkin'. I must have looked at her like she had four heads ... try another one? As in another location and change my ENTIRE routine?! Now, you're probably wondering why I am sharing this story with you. There is a point, I promise.

Working on the career section I have been fortunate enough to speak to incredible experts, and they all say the same thing about routines at work. Falling into a set routine at work is not always a good thing. As an employee you have to be willing to adjust to changes and constantly be thinking about how to improve and expand on your existing work. Gen Y expert Lindsey Pollak recently came in to do a segment with us on how to revive a dead end job. She has great advice to help us all snap out of our work rut, so we can get our careers back on track. So starting today I am going to try to keep an open mind ... and dare I say it, shake up my routine.

Any suggestions for where I should try to get my daily caffeine fix?
