How do you deal with the different moods of the people in your workplace? I work in a small company where everybody knows everybody and as such are so attuned with the moods of the other co-workers. It's like each one is so engrossed with their angst to a point where the rest are also affected. But then again, when one has good mood, the spirit of the others are also lifted.

I'm fortunate to work with people who are professionals; you cannot really consider them moody. Its dealing with clients that can be tricky. With clients who make a fuss when they cannot wait, we usually refer them to an officer or supervisor while he waits for his transaction to be processed. Other clients just need a listening ear and quick hands to attend to their business.

I guess that's what our colleagues do. Me, I can have mood swings too, especially on some days of the month (wink). Do you know what, there are even days when I feel like crying for no reason. And there are times when I feel so despondent. Could I blame it on being a woman?

I wish that I always have a good mood because I want to have a happy day. Though there are times I am tired it lowers my mood but soon as I drink coffee, my mood is being lifted and I am an energetic person again. Take care =)
By the way, I don't care if my office mates are moody. I keep away from them though I try to comfort them but if their life is really like that, not my problem anymore. I have more things to do than to be moody and pout the whole day. Take care again.

Where I worked a few years ago,we had one woman who was a walking nightmare,to say that she was an unhappy woman was an understatement,she came to work everyday and everyday was the same,she moaned and groaned and just talked about all of the other staff members,we all got very tired of listening to her,so when she started we used to do an about turn and walk the other way,we just felt that at some point she would get the message

where i've worked there are many people in different moods.
some people you can try to cheer up. some people you just listen to their problems.
some people you avoid. and some people you can ask what to do about the other people. and some people you can relax and enjoy.
