		<description><![CDATA[&#160; There’s a woman in our office who is always talking about her diet and how well she’s doing.  She eats tiny portions and often avoids our lunch socials.  We all wish her well but she is becoming irritating. Any ideas? People who overcome addictions are generally quite proud of their accomplishments and will take available opportunities [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our office is really boring!  People just do their jobs and there is hardly any social interaction except for some birthday lunches.  What can we do to add a little energy and excitement?

I&#8217;d like the money back right away. What can I do? Your situation is unfortunately not that uncommon. It would be more accurate, I think, to make the [...]]]></description>

I know female co-workers participate in sports and social events after hours but I&#8217;m never included. I&#8217;d like to let them know I&#8217;m interested but is seems awkward.

		<description><![CDATA[There’s too much gossip in our office and it’s becoming destructive. How can it be eliminated? It’s hurtful and I personally experienced it recently. What can we do? Regular readers will know this will be the second column regarding gossip which, I believe, is more negative to office morale than most people realize. You say [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We recently had an office party at a local hotel and at the end of the evening I kissed a co-worker.  I like her and we’re both single but now I’m feeling very uncomfortable.  What should I do?
