Exactly how does CSS limit design any more than the alternative (not using CSS)? CSS provides much more freedom than writing every piece of style information into your html... What do you propose as an alternative?
IMO, the nature of the web limits design. CSS is just a way to work within those limits.
Whose social life hasn't been improved with the internet? Especially with the younger generations still in school or college, using social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook is a must. It's how you meet more people! Obviously, years ago this wasn't true. When I was in elementary/middle school, I only had a handful of friends online who I actually knew from school. Today, my little cousins are constantly iming/myspacing/etc their schoolmates. The internet definitely expanded my social circle in recent years and has made it easier to keep in touch with old friends. Without the internet there is no way I would be this social.
My tip? If you're a guy working in a group with all guys and one female, DON'T use your meeting time to show your groupmates some porn you thought was "really awesome." I wish I could say I was joking, but this actually happened to me (the only saving grace is that this happened when I was still in school, not at work, but still).
Fitting in when you're a girl in an all-male environment can be tougher than a lot of guys would think, especially if you're not used to being "one of the guys." In my experience, it's easier to be "one of the group" if you eat lunch with your co-workers or go to happy hour with them. If they don't invite you directly but you hear them talking about it, then fish for an invitation. Be friendly and social.
The bonus is that there usually are other girls present at happy hour unless it's just your group going, so you don't get that weird "I'm the only girl here and they're all acting weird because of me" feeling. Be prepared that you may have to subtly move the topic of conversation away from sports.
Guys: be friendly to the new hires, whether they be female or male. Despite what you may think, you can say "hi" to your female co-workers without quaking in fear of a sexual harassment lawsuit. Just stay away from the porn, and you're good.
Are we kidding here?? I guess you'd better not talk to anyone of a different race, or you could be fired for racial discrimination JUST FOR TALKING TO THEM because seriously, who knows these days.
