Have you noticed

That one of the greatest challenges in work, and actually in outside life, is often that all the people you work with:
- Already know everything.
- Have done that before of course I know how to do this and dont need your input.

And yet, mysteriously, problems are not fixed, the source of something cant be found. They want this magical thing called help, but the thing is, they "already know".
Nothing is more conducive to peace of mind than not having any opinions at all.

I'd say that one of the big problems in life is that the people one works with are generally absolute tossers.

Wrong day to ask me that, Tas. I'm not allowed to have opinions.

But isn't that because you're female rather than where you work?

Or the combination of being female and who I work for?
