Too bad I missed this. I work with people who have degrees in psychology. They spend a lot of time diagnosing each other. It’s sick.

All the people I work with are crazy. A couple of bi-polars, one borderline, several depressives. What’s the big deal?

@Jimmy I encourage Katie to continue to hone her wit, there is not enough whimsy at in the world. Just remember to keep it honest and keep it real. I think you’re right about honesty. It shows up in your voice. Keeping it real is always well-advised!

As both an HR professional and a working professional stand up, I have a couple of comments:

On the HR side I’m glad to know the blog was an attempt at humor, and not an actual attempt at diagnosis. I initially feared that many arm chair pyschologists would feel that it was alright to begin “diagnosing” their coworkers as well.

As a comedian, I have found two rules that have served me well over the last several years:

1. Comedy comes from only two places: truth and pain.

2. Never, ever, ever make fun of anyone that cannot defend themselves.

These two rules are what seperate comedians from a-holes.

I encourage Katie to continue to hone her wit, there is not enough whimsy at in the world. Just remember to keep it honest and keep it real.
