My best coworkers

Whether we like our workplace or not, doesn’t depend only on our boss. I think more important is how we deal with our coworkers. Sometimes we establish friendship, sometimes we do everything to simply not work with someone at all or only communicate strictly on company related things.

I like the “we are what we use” premise. It can be really useful when criticyzing our situation as consumers.

In all honest, I’m no fan of delightful-looking-and-helpless (tech) products at all. But here’s the thing. This kinds of problem implies the complexity of one’s thinking and emotion system.
