Someone you hoped to impress reacts like a cold fish. Don’t throw him back in the water yet. Try again, but invest in time spent together.
A boss or client has been late getting back to you on a money matter. Prod; don’t push. Remember you still have to work with this person.
Reality checks don’t come cheap and the current one looks pretty steep. Dig deep into your pocket. Once paid, you’re free to move on.
Acting in your own interests needn’t be mercenary if you’re careful not to appear callous. Carefully gauge the situation as it unfolds.
Refrain from voicing opinions at the office. There are plenty of tattletales who would happily quote you out of context if it makes them look good.
All it takes is one person to set a new tone. Strike an upbeat note and grouchy types will be more than willing to follow suit.
