[quote=Nan]What are trojan hores?[/quote]
One would think - although spelled wrong - that Trojan Hores would be a group of loose women of the Trojan variety  , when in fact a Trojan Horse is a type of computer virus.  |

I'm thinking that understanding the "mechanics" of the action, would help him respond differently to it. (He would understand that people ... |

| I agree about personality clashes being none of my concern. I haven't been here often enough for it to affect me. I don't let things that cyber people say bother me anyway. Further, there was no name signed on the email that I received. That loses credibility with me. As does, airing "dirty laundry.... |

| "Be supportive and open" means to approach the co-worker like you would a friend or relative. I would say something to the effect that I'd like to have a small talk when he/she is available. During that talk, I would try to get some information that would help me understand what the person's problem... |

That's all they ask. Believe me, restaurants only wish everyone would do those simple things. I'm sure that i... |

| I work in a very small office and saying, "Good morning," or "Good night," is simply a way of acknowledging the other person. I am an NT, and for us it feels good to be acknowledged. It feels good to be included in small talk. That is how friendships develop. I guess for most of us, work has it's ow... |

Thanks, all.
And yes, Larsen, I will remember how to spell your name. At least I'll try to remember . . . my memory isn't what it used to be.  Anyway, I apologize. 
Still learning,

| I would check salvage yards for the needed parts. I'd also get other prices for the work. An insurance man told me once that insurance companies would rather someone die than get hurt. If a person gets hurt, that is potentially years of rehabilitation. A dead person pays out once. Isn't that just am... |

It was pretty scary to read the one post that said that even having an SO, didn't make the person happy. I actually asked my guy that the... |
