No, I don't understand women... I understand that one thing about women... Which is why I said: onto the next thing

The police got the top hatch open, when they asked him to surrender he didn't listen and kept on trying to dislodge the tank, the officer on top of the hatch then shot him.

No - that's different... Those are the non-thinking programmers, the one that just execute without asking any questions or opinions. The fact that she raised her point to this situation excludes her from the non-thinking stock.

Quick question Can you tell me who sang "Time to say goodbye" with Bocelli? If you say Celine Dion, i'm jumping off the roof... I'm talking about the real singer...

Well - *I'm SORRY* Just because you didn't pick up on that just means that you aren't the stereotype woman. Which, in my book (and most men), is a good thing. Hang in there, the day is almost over you can go home and give that ear a rest away from your talkative co-worker. Personally, I hate cube farms, I'm sure that you will agree that they aren't the best for concentration and productivity. If I have my way, I'd be working in a box (sound-wise). I'm not against communication but there is a reason why we use the telephone and not intercoms, it's to filter out irrelevant noise and distractions and allow us to focus on what we should be doing. And hell, to be honest I'd have to agree with you, if she'd talk to her boyfriend a bit more instead of to her co-workers, she probably wouldn't have so many problems. But if you tell her that you will be removing a nice opportunity for her to get some attention. Maybe that's what she's really after...

She isn't talking because of her problems, she is talking about her problems just to fulfill her need to talk. Don't think like a man when you listen to a woman, think like a woman. Men aren't mind readers, and women don't talk to resolve problems. They talk to share their state of mind, it's their nature. Took me 20 years to figure it out, Now, if I can only understand the next thing on my list... Karell
