I've been called worse,
and probably deserved it.

Much plain and simple wisdom methinks.

I believe Guy Kawasaki was the guy who said one of my favorite quotes:
To say that Windows 95 is just like a Macintosh is like finding a potato in the shape of Jesus Christ and saying that you've witnessed the second coming.
(This was the pre-ebay days; we all know what would happen with a potato in the shape of Jesus these days.)

I think it's interesting, too. I wish there had been an entry about dealing with fellow employees who fit the bill, as well as bosses. I work in a VERY small office, less than a dozen employees, and one of them definitely is an, um, A.hole.

What about the "How to Deal With ---holes" section? or were you looking for something else?ketida wrote:I wish there had been an entry about dealing with fellow employees who fit the bill, as well as bosses.

An old draftsman ( when we did drawings with pencil and real paper) said
"there are B-holes and C-holes, but always, Holes-A"
Kinda of a nerdy engineering joke, but on drawings with tabulated hole tables, you'd start with A and go through Z, but in conversation, they would be B-holes and C-Holes and Holes -A

On the same subject was this thesis published by Professor Denis Leary:
