I promise, for now on, to do this:
Whenever I feel the need to complain about something, I will also propose one or more solutions to the problem.

That's what they're teaching us at work. As much contribution as there is complaining about what isn't right. And I will expand on it to include all areas of my life.


Or is the philosophy wrong? I'm open to admitting mistakes; I make them all the time. :)

1. An excellent idea for the most part...
unless you're in a hopeless situation.

All my solutions lately seem to start with impeachment....

2. Well, that's helpful
It's constructive to think of solutions to problems that you run into.

Don't let people get you down, HT.

3. I'm more worried right now of the people I'd put down.

Over the last 2 days with my bizarre tirades... I've left it up to those interested to respond to my PMs. Anyone else is free to do so if they give a damn (I ain't worth it).

And I'm about to do the right thing.

I'll be back around 11PM CST... need to people-watch and enjoy a night of fresh air; try to recover what's left of my mind. I'll have my answer then.

4. You know, sometimes people just need to vent.
Making people keep it bottled up like that will only serve to ratchet up the resentment levels.

7. Instead of your complaint being ignored...
Edited on Fri Feb-03-06 08:34 PM by Opposite Reaction
Your two suggestions will be ignored as well. Management productivity will triple! Fuck that LEAN shit, this is an absolute bonanza!

Adding :evilgrin: cuz I'm just kidding.
