Pay less attention to the details; it's the moments that you will remember.

Thanks, Donna, that is a great article, and timely. I've got a colleague who obviously feels threatened by me and repeatedly attacks anything I say or do. I just figure eventually it will come around. I hope.

Don't mess with the old dogs; age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill! BS and brilliance only come with age and experience.

They had another article about psychopaths in the workplace that was also very timely and true.

We've got four of those at my job. It's sad because the place had such a spirit of teamwork prior to their hire.

I was at one point chair of a social organization with some very fractious members. One of the things I learned early on was to start every response to a negative comment with, "I really appreciate your taking the time to comment." It either confused or disarmed people. ;-)
