[Stupid] Things to Say to Female Coworkers

Happy Valentine’s day!!! Given the day, the following incident is very appropriate.

Thinking back to my post a while ago about lame pick-up lines, someone actually wrote the following via IM to one of my colleagues:

“you should be in front of 10,000 cameras projected to millions of viewers, so that viewers can stand in awe of [...]

January 9th

January 9th has always been somewhat of a special day for me. It’s the day of the year that has the most birthdays of people I know. All of these people have had a positive impact on my life at some point or another…

Your Loss or Mine?

Let’s try and get back into this blogging business…

In any negotiation scenario, you often hear the term “Win-Win“. Wikipedia defines it as: “a win-win strategy is a conflict resolution process that aims to accommodate all disputants.”

However, can you ever truly accommodate everyone? Isn’t there always a loser? Even if both parties “win”, isn’t [...]

Showing Affection to Your Family

I never hug my family members unless it’s a special occasion (birthdays, anniversaries, etc) or they’re going on a trip. I’m not even sure [...]

Building a Model Airplane(pic from New Deal Network)Since the age of 13, my friend and I get together every 2 years or so and build a model airplane. Every time, without exception, after carefully building it, we smash it to pieces and part ways for a couple of years. I’m not sure why we keep [...]

The Last Conversation You'll Ever Have...

One night, during my training in Texas, we had a special guest speaker named Mike Lipkin (check out his website). He was one of the best speakers I’ve seen in a while especially given the fact that he was able to maintain the attention of ~600 exhausted 20something year olds for a good 90 minutes [...]

Goodbye V…

I was right. I did make a mistake. I’m single again. I’m sad about that for now, but give me a few days and I should be fine (hopefully.).

On Saturday morning I found out that V has been cheating on me since last week with one of her work colleagues. No further questions please.

Yes, I’m [...]

Using the Word "Later"

I almost forgot something- Using the word “later” (as mentioned in my previous post) is a good tactic for dealing with the opposite sex as well.

Never tell a girl or boy you will call “tonight” or “tomorrow” (i.e. specific times), because when you don’t, they’ll probably get upset. Instead, tell them you will call “later” [...]

Have I Made a Mistake…?

Believe it or not, it happens sometimes…
