It hurts, of course, but if said colleague really deserves a good ratting, it's all for the greater good.<BR/><BR/>The way I see it, someone who isn't pulling his/her weight is compromising MY career. So if he/she refuses to fix things, I'm not against having karma fix it on this person's behalf.<BR/><BR/>Ooh, that sounds mean. Not my intention. But all's fair in love, war and career management.carmilevyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00360045114379957605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5095367542296618021.post-60069413347402233402008-08-14T07:02:00.000-05:002008-08-14T07:02:00.000-05:00Ridiculous.

The NY Times had a story Tuesday about the girl singing at the ceremonies, and it turns out she was the cute one lip synching and the real singer had done a recording..gary rithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18228113061045717115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5095367542296618021.post-61939162524943836102008-08-13T17:43:00.000-05:002008-08-13T17:43:00.000-05:00I had that happen to me once too. No, someone did...I had that happen to me once too. No, someone didn't mistake me for a 10 year old. I was mistaken for a middle schooler on my first day of teaching, but I digress...<BR/><BR/>I once had to rat out a coworker. It's never an easy position. Had my boss been fair and kind I would have probably. But my boss was cold, calculating, and manipulative and there was nothing to rat on anyway.<BR/><BR/>I feel for you though. You did the right thing. In the presence of someone fair and kind, the truth will always do well.Wephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00778012535731461256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5095367542296618021.post-39012858744458150192008-08-13T13:45:00.000-05:002008-08-13T13:45:00.000-05:00I wish they'd put the swimming on before the other...I wish they'd put the swimming on before the other stuff! I'm having a hard time staying up to watch the events that I'm most interested in. But I also found out that MSNBC reruns some of the important events the next morning early, so it turns out I didn't miss much by going to bed early last nite! And I think the Chinese girls look like they're about 3!Aunt Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07925702578948250425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5095367542296618021.post-2603775579352999282008-08-13T10:57:00.000-05:002008-08-13T10:57:00.000-05:00I totally hear you on the sleep deprivation thing!...I totally hear you on the sleep deprivation thing! I usually enjoy living on the East Coast, but at times like this I would love to be anywhere west. I woke up this morning and debated about not going into work; now THAT'S bad.<BR/><BR/>It's so weird to see the Americans compete against the Chinese. It's like a women's team vs. a girl's team. I think it's pretty clear that at least one of the girls (but probably 3) are underage. You can't really trust government documents when it is the government who is wanting their team to win in the first place. I love how old documents say the one girl was born in 1993, but suddenly now she's born in 1992. Convenient, huh? I know that Chinese people tend to be smaller and mature later, but even experts say that several of these girls have the ears and chins of 12yos, not 16yos.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to seeing Shawn and Nastia dominate on Thursday! I'm sure it will be another late night...Ronnicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09545460026004087995noreply@blogger.com
