I lived for 3.5 years with the bratty siblings, the tattling nanny, the absentee parents in the Netherlands, and rebellious co-workers with whom I'd have to share 4 hour rants while commutting to the 'main' office 2x month. I was about to chuck it all when I was offered nice parting gifts to take my toys and leave. I had the biggest smile on my face as I drove out of that parking lot for the last time!Anne Camillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12419931136194330529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-1157063861998080992006-08-31T18:37:00.000-04:002006-08-31T18:37:00.000-04:00Litlove, I'd never thought of a management book, b...Litlove, I'd never thought of a management book, but it's worth a thought. What do I do most of the time, but, of course laugh when I recognize how like boys (and girls) we all behave when it comes to different companies all under the same corporate umbrella? I'll be the first to raise my hand in guilt.Emily Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971084813206845680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-1157061724530431022006-08-31T18:02:00.000-04:002006-08-31T18:02:00.000-04:00Oh boy, this hits a spot.

Ever since there has been a bitter, undercover war of one-upmanship between Amsterdam and the UK, and on more than one occasion I've been moved to comment that they are like little boys fighing over toys. I see you have a theory all ready to go, Emily! Ever thought of writing one of those management books about the way family relationships riddle the workplace???litlovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952927245186474480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-1157037774395516422006-08-31T11:22:00.000-04:002006-08-31T11:22:00.000-04:00Actually, it wasn't too bad.
