			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img id="image167" alt="Picture 14.png" src="http://www.blisstree.com/files/28/2006/05/Picture%2014.thumbnail.png" />I wanted this be a light-hearted piece about one of my favorite office observations: the difference between how men and women talk at work. You know, men say things like: <em>Boil the frog</em> (ask your boyfriend what that means) or <em>Get a leg up</em> or <em>Sh**ts and giggles</em>&#8230;and women say things like do <em>me a favor?</em> or <em>please</em>, or <em>I&#8217;m sorry</em>, or <em>thank you</em>.</p>
<p>But I became side-tracked. As I was searching on-line for some references, I came across this <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11355027/site/newsweek">Newsweek</a> review of three new high-schoolish book titles of which the focus is how undermining, sneaky and downright mean women are to each other at work. (And maybe just in general) &#8212; how we&#8217;re supposed to navigate through this stuff and look great doing it! These books are really just $16.00 blogs.</p>
<p>Reading the article just made me want to take a big &#8216;ol nap.</p>
<p>My feeling is &#8212; if someone in HR were to calculate all of the working hours lost as a result of the time spent on this crap at work, there would be such shock and horror over the complete waste of resources, that whole employee manuals would be re-written and heads would roll.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not saying you shouldn&#8217;t be aware of the politics of women at work; I&#8217;m saying we wast too much energy taking it all so seriously.</p>
<p>Everyone get back to work!</p>
<p>And I&#8217;m sure glad I work for me&#8230;if I want to compete with myself, well that&#8217;s between me and Dr. Phil</p>
