From BlogTalkers: If you could tell your boss one thing without any consequences, and without profanity, what would it be?

We need some positive feedback about the calls we take. The usual feedback only comes when there is something wrong. I always feel like "what did I do THIS time" whenever I get weekly feedback. It's discouraging and I feel I am not really making any progress. Then I wonder why it matters, really.

From BlogTalkers:

Motivated by the fear of harassment claims, many companies now prohibit men and women from meeting one-on-one inside of offices or conference rooms that do not have a window to an outside hallway or area where others can see into the room. What do you think about that? Good move because it protects everyone involved, or an unwarranted overreaction driven by nothing more than overreaching morals and fear?

Kind of a nice swing back to old fashioned respect for each other I think. Part of me thinks it is silly that men can't be expected to behave. After all, why should women be kept in quarantine just because we are female.

Yet, men have proven that only some of them do have control over their own morals. So, maybe a throw back to old fashioned ways is not a bad idea. We already keep children confined to school buses and getting rides to and from school. We don't let them go out on their own as easily as we once would have. That is interesting as the old fashioned way was not to think much about what the kids were doing, their safety.

Anyway, I'm kind of undecided and yet I can see that it might have a good point. It might bring back more old fashioned traditions.

Anything is possible.

Blog Talkers Weekly ... If you could go back in time, what one piece advice would you give yourself? Question submitted by: Shawna

Don't take this the wrong way... but you're going to die. Live well while you can. Spend less time considering what others think of you. Most of the time they have their own problems and won't even notice you. Don't give your time and energy to the people who only give you back negativity. Enjoy life, be less afraid of making mistakes. Do the things you have always wanted to do. Trust yourself more, a lot more.

Blog Talkers: Tell us ...

What are your opinions on the subject of giving personal information out in your blog entries? Do you use the real names of the people you blog about? Have you ever had a bad experience with someone getting 'too much information'? I'd like to know: Do the people that you blog about ever complain that you are blogging about them?

Question submitted by: Write From Karen

My blog isn't a secret but no one in my family is interested enough to read it. Sometimes I use names and sometimes just the title (brother, sister, etc.)

Now and then I reconsider something I wrote, most of the time I just leave it there. But, once in a while I delete something as being too personal and going too deep into my private thoughts and feelings.

The only problem I have is that of all my family my eleven year old nephew reads this. Not very often. But, I wish he wasn't. There are thoughts here which I wouldn't have ever told him about, things too adult for a young man.

If you had to spend one year living alone in a remote cabin, what would you spend your time doing?

(And let's assume there is no access to Internet)

Question submitted by: Write From Karen

I would do crafts like sewing, crochet and embroidery and I would read. I'd teach myself some programming and more web design. I wouldn't need the Internet for that, just a computer to test things on.
