I think How to Win Friends is one of those books that you (you being someone in the supermajority of people who isn't naturally gifted at interpersonal relationships) know you should read but you avoid it. Then one day, you are despera

what you should do is figure out why someone you don't know, to whom you own nothing, is able to make you feel so bad about not giving them anything. Give money to beggars or don't, give money to charity or don't, give money

Have I been in these situations? All the time. I care about the software we produce, so I have strong opinions about the development of it. How do I handle it? I say my piece, I listen to the response from my boss. If he disagrees with my a

I think one of the main problems would be that the loud and angry forum types wouldn't care about know why disabling addons (by the entire raid) would fix the issue. They would still see it as a problem with "the devs" and no

> 5. Be relentlessly positive. No mention of anything bad going on in your non-work life. This helps in many situations. There are the times, bad times, when a team is put in a terrible situation. Admitting this can let people stop dwell

wow, I can imagine that's pretty difficult to deal with, respect wise. Not everyone, and I'm hoping not even the majority, will have to deal with this from their SO/OH/spouse, however. (I don't, thankfully. We both

ahh, I remember the day my boss told me the exact amount of happiness and motivation I was to come into work with every day (gestures and happy faces were made to show me the exact amount). (and this was after they missed payroll)

Indeed. The FBAR and FATCA are terrible. The incredibly heavy handed penalties for making a mistake can be quite frightening. The seeming assumption that anyone who has a foreign bank account or property must be a tax dodger is insane.

I completely agree. I know it's easier for the gov to publish new laws than it is to actually figure out what the underlying problem is and tackle that. I think it's quite rare that the underlying problem is "not enough laws&

I'm just waiting for Lloyds and Barclays to figure out I'm a US citizen and then close out my accounts due to FATCA. I think the easiest way to get a UK bank account as a foreign national is to be a student.
