>>My coworker couldn't deign to allow anyone else to touch her perfect work... I once knew someone like that. They take on too much for themselves and growl anyone who tries to take one from their claimed pile. >>got onto blogosphere and read a bunch of disgusting people's oneupmanship. I have to admit I don't read the forums as much anymore. It's as you say. And it feels like a lot of pointless shouting going on, just irrita

I agree with ParaTed. I'm still in contact with friends I made in polytechnic, but not those I went to secondary school (high school) with. We did try for a while after we graduated, but we were all taking different courses after we left school, and had different schedules. Just sort of ran out of things that we can share I think.

Being concerned and asking questions isn't taking sides. I can't help but ask one or the other what is happening when two friends are quarreling. I would however answer "I don't know" if either one ask me if he or she is the right or wrong. Internet conflicts are rather difficult to mediate if the quarrel is really severe.

I like bees as long as they stay away from me. Like Cordelia, I have found bees in my softdrink - somehow they managed to get into the vending machine. Fortunately, I saw first before I brought the cup to my lips.

Remember that the person who judges you like that, probably has a log in his eye, so it's likely he isn't seeing things properly anyway. (Which would explain such person's tendency to misread things and jump to silly conclusions...) Ever tried walking down the street with a log in your eye? I bet you'd be cranky and nasty too...

Nothing fixed, I am some of these, one of these or none of these, depending. I do think I have the joy of life in me most of the time. I try to enjoy the good moments as best I can.

I work in a lab but I have a dilbertian workstation to do my paper work when I have to. I have to agree with Zoomba on Dilbert. I have a Dilbert Daily Calender - the kind that you tear off a page a day. I also keep a few toys and stuff around my workstation - a toy gun that shoots yellow rubber bullets - a couple of lego magnets - hound dog pup

With the current points whoring campaigns, I have to wonder what is the satisfaction of earning points without putting in the effort of writing a proper article or blog.
