At work I heard this girl behind me talking to another guy about how he is using some of her music files that she had saved in some of our public folders on his itunes list. And she was upset because she wants people to have to go to her itunes list on our shared music instead of his. It was probably the most ridiculous (and perhaps only) argument I've ever heard at work. The guy next to me said we should have conflicts like this at work at least 2-3 times a day. That way when we have job interviews we would actually have something to talk about on that question about conflicts with co-workers. I agree. And the drama was kind of exciting. And one of the girls behind me (a normal one, not the itunes nazi one) wrote a blog I thought was pretty funny: http://singingcicada.blogspot.com/2006/05/holy-crap.html

i always feel so stupid in job interviews when they ask you how you would resolve conflicts. when those types of questions are asked, i just think to myself--wouldn't our goal be to avoid conflicts in the first place?
Ahhhh, I totally missed my shout out! You're the best. Also that was actually the most ridiculous argument I ever heard. I loved when she asked me my opinion and I told her that I thought she was in the wrong. Not exactly what she was expecting to hear. But seriously. Seriously. What was the point of that argument? I told her that it wasn't nice of her to subject her coworkers to that and make us all listen to her contention and she asserted that she had been whispering and no one could hear her. Ha!
Happy to entertain.
