  1. Just get along with everyone. on How To Behave At a Software Company? · · Score: 1

    Make sure you socialise across any groups that are in your workforce. Do not hid this fact from fractions that dont get along, both sides will still respect you so long as you do not gosip about them.

    Never be caught agreeing to or patcipating in gosip, just a quit 'uhur'. Plausible deniability works wonders, espicaly across the above mentioned fractions. Baicly listen to, but keep your mouth shut. This bonds you to the speeker of said gosip in your favor.

    Where ever posible share in socal activeis with coworkers, even if its just lunch. *Do* talk to other staff mebers about your life and thier own.

    However at the end of the day, you will not get along with everyone, dont push your self on that one person who for what ever reason dosn't like you, they will either come around or not. You can not make them like you. But by behaving and acting at lest nice, you can earn a usable amount of respect.

    In one job I worked 3 years next to a staff member who if they where on fire, I would of run to the nerest gas station and goten more fule for. This lady left on her fianly day not knowing that I hated her guts, and infact after she left and still visited it took over 9 months for me to let it slip that I hated her guts.

    That was a minor mistake, and thankfully didnt come back to haunt me.

    I so hate the current MMO for the same reason, no choice. Well sure you might be able to chose bettween two quests that are realy worth it at your current level, and sure thier might be 2 or even 3 kick ass combos to master, but in the end everyone ends up following the same X type clones.

    In nature your 600 vs 6000 year stament would be close to correct, but we have mankinds helping hand hear, and natural selction and natural mutation go out the window.

But back to friut and vegitbles. What you see in a supermarket these days where allmost unabtanible in colour, shape and size 100 years ago.

  18. Re:My sleep story, how about yours? on The Dangers of Being Really, Really Tired · · Score: 1

    I went for a drive on my first ever long weekend after changing jobs (as I had been working as a kitchen hand, no time off on hoildays or weekends), I clearly remember thinking 'ill just pull over at the next truck stop' at about 2:30am after starting driving at 6am.. I also remember seeing the signs saying something along the lines of "death strech ahead, dont drive tired" then I started seeing faces trying to eat my car and blood in the clouds, and the next thing I remember it was its 8:30am and im arguring with a girl at a motel who is telling me they only have one room avible and it dosent have a good view, could I come back in two or so hours? I informed her that I needed the room as I had been up and driving for over 24 hours and didnt care if there was a dead guy in the loo.

    I try not to push past when I start to feal like noding off now, and most of the time if I do I defnetly hear and see things, as of yet I havent ever mistaken them for real, its got to be the best trip.

    I do also remember not sleeping for 3 days once when I was extreamly depressed, when I did goto sleep, I slept for about 12 hours, a friend woke me up, and I informed them that I was a little tired still, id phone them when I got up and I went back to sleep for just over 24 hours.. but I like my sleep and dreams, sleeping 12 hours stright is rather easy for me.
