Workplace Safety:

Excerpted from an Atlanta Journal-Constitution editorial by Shaunti Feldhahn – 28 July 2004 Find the foresight to help you dodge the violent wrath of:
• coworkers with jobs, marriages, or egos in jeopardy becoming sullen, belligerent, and volatile;
• coworkers, friends, and relatives about to go over the edge;
• coworkers and neighbors feuding over such petty things as job duties, parking spaces, dog poop on the wrong lawn, and loud music. Or, scary neighbors who haven’t broken any laws yet. Rampage shooters display the exact same warning signs whether it's in the workplace, school, shopping mall, or anywhere.
