NEWS.com.au | Women should 'stop whinging': expert (October 9, 2003)

A-freaking-men. Seriously. Stopy crying and play like the big boys do.

One thing I've stuck to religiously for YEARS...never say "I'm sorry" to anyone at work. Even if you've really fucked something up, instead of "I'm sorry," say "No problem, I'll take care of it." You can cry in private as you try to somehow fix up your mistake.

Don't "share" at work. Don't "bond." Don't "just try(ing) to help." Do your job, and do it well and quickly without input from everyone. I don't care if it isn't fair or you feel like you're not able to self-actualize yourself at work or any of that bullshit. You are getting paid to do a job, not to sit around wanking off about your soul-searching and spiritual development. Do that in your own time (if you absolutely must).

Be appropriate on the job... remember, it's a JOB not an extension of you as a person. Do it as best you can and shut up about everything else. Save all your touchy-feely stuff for your non-working life (and you should have a non-working life that is completely apart from working life.)

So there! Because I say so that's why!
