“Have you seen two or more people try to be King of the Castle on a project at work? It really almost feels like Grade 3 all over again =).”

RoundDot – I have seen this – and it is actually good because they are keeping each other busy with bossing each other around while the rest of us are actually getting stuff done!

“That was a long time ago when I was much more sheltered, and didn’t stand up for myself as I do these days.” – NetChick – I had the same experience. Just like any bully, once they know that you are going to stand up for yourself, they scurry away like the insecure losers that they are.

Aww, I lived in a warm place all my life, so I never got to make Snow Castles. It looks like a lot of fun, though.

Have you seen two or more people try to be King of the Castle on a project at work? It really almost feels like Grade 3 all over again =).

Perhaps that’s why so many people dream of starting their own companies, or doing freelance work. But until that happens, I’d appreciate any secrets on how to get around the King!

It’s been my experience, especially in the workplace to have to deal with many more “Queen of the Castle” than Kings.

I’ve lived with one King at home, and let me tell ya, I’d much rather be single than ever go back to that. That was a long time ago when I was much more sheltered, and didn’t stand up for myself as I do these days.

Great post!

Wow, that brings back memories. We made snow castles all the time in MI.

I need to get my kids up into the snow more often – It doesn’t snow much in Los Angeles.
